Today we take out two Ruger Single Six Convertible revolvers and take them to the range. We test their accuracy while comparing their performance using both 22 long rifle and 22 magnum (22 WMR)
My uncle has had one of these for decades, and I think every one of my neighbors here in the South has one. My neighbor across the street plinks with the 22LR cylinder, and keeps the Magnum cylinder loaded as his home defense bedside gun. Really nice pistols.
Thanks for doing the testing, it looks like a lot of fun & work. Back in the early '80s I made the mistake of buying a Ruger conversion with a 9.5" barrel, it wasn't fun to shoot.
Thanks, interesting video. I might suggest that you number the chambers and then always try to index at #1, to see if those fliers are coming from particular chambers. Maybe those cowboys of old who carried five cartridges in their six-round revolvers knew something... Thanks for taking us along today.
@@texmexshoots That might make a good video on it's own. Back in the day the top tier revolver gunsmiths use to do that so you'd know which chambers were the most accurate.
I used to have one of those conversion .22s. It had a blued finish and a six and one half inch barrel like yours. I liked it okay, but hated the trigger creep it had. I wound up selling it to a buddy who loved it and he enjoyed it way more than I did.
@@johndilday1846 Thanks for watching John! I'm sorry you didn't like the trigger on yours. Both my New Model Convertibles have relatively decent triggers. Truth be told, if you want a 22lr with a great trigger, you are best off with a semi-auto 22 pistol like a buckmark.
