 Smiley Every time I hear something about a revolver not being a good choice for SD, I revisit this article by Grant Cunningham. And to me this is more close to reality than anything else. Specially if we pay close attention to the two last paragraphs.

The Single Six sounds great to me. Price range in my local store is about 435.00. Does that sounds fair? I was planning on a Blackhawk in 357 but my son made me promisse a 22 first. I am kinda  limited budget wise.

$435 is a good price on Gun Genie for the SS version.  But -- I Live in SoKal.  You might try http://www.galleryofguns.com for your area.

I really enjoy my Single Six. My 6.5" is a tack driver. If you get yours, take off the stocks and drop one leg of the trigger spring off its peg. An instant ghetto trigger job!

Smiley Thanks for the tips. I know this will sound cheap but we settled for the Heritage Rough Rider Combo 6.5 inches 22LR/22Mag with the "mother of plastic pearl grips" . The store sold the 2 last Rugers Yesterday and we did not want to wait. We shot that rascal right out of the box and tell you what, I am really impressed with the Heritage. For an entry lever SA it performed really well. We put more than 200 rds downrange with tight groups at 15 yards.

Schwueeeet!

As Georgie Patton said; "Only a pimp in a New Orleans whorehouse or a tin-horn gambler would carry a pearl-handled pistol." Glad to hear yours are mother of plastic pearl grips.    Cheesy

How do the stocks feel? Slick? Enough grip for the 22 Mag? 

Sweet looking pistola. Congratulations!

PATTON was right. I need to change the grips. It handles the Magnums pretty well.
Any suggestions on grips?

I use Eagle Gunfighter Grips on my Vaqueros in the Cowboy Action Shooting games.  They're thin and heavily checkered -- and a mite bit spendy.  A friend has a Heritage 22 SA with nice checkered grips.  Call Heritage?
