Thanks, I hope so.  I’ve shot and own a number of semi auto .22LR pistols, but 
never had a .22LR revolver.  Looking forward to some fun at the rane with it.

I have the same .44 Mag. I've shot all the calibers of the Blackhawk 
line. They tend

to roll in your hand instead of pushing straight back like the Smith.
Dan will like the .22 it's a sweet pistol.

Thanks, Greg.  I’m looking forward on some fun at the range with this as well

As I understand, one in the chamber, an empty chamber, then four more?

I have an excellent RSO that I’ll have walk me through it, too.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Today's Fun

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 The one break action Rossi .22 single I've used as a very tight chamber. Some 
rounds have too much lube on them and the extractor won't extract. Which 
reminds me I need to bring a new .22 bore brush to camp to clean the chamber on 
that gun.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Today's Fun

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I’ve got some empty shells in my range back I keep for dry firing my other .22 
pistols, but for whatever reason they are not keen to go into the cylinder.  
I’m wondering if they’re slightly swelled from being fired, making the open 
ends a bit too large to go into the chambers?

I was going to practice loading it with empty shells, but I guess that’s not 
going to happen…

Try it at the range and you'll know for sure. 
If you do it right you'll have the hammer down on an empty chamber. 
Thumb the hammer back and it'll be hot. 
So if you get five shots in a row by thumbing the hammer back, you must have 
loaded it right.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Today's Fun

The revolver is indeed intended to fire two different rounds of slightly 
different bullet diameter. And it was not the only one. There was also a 
.357/9mm (.355) revolver with interchangeable cylinders. Not the best for top 
target accuracy, but it kinda works, and is perfectly safe.

Congrats to Dan on a collectible and fun acquisition!

I think you mean something other than 22 magnum, I think that .22 magnum a
slightly larger caliber than .22LR so you'd also need a larger diameter

Re: [MBZ] OT - Today's Fun

[OK Don via Mercedes]

Yes, a friend of mine in college owned one (probably still does) with both
cylinders that he would interchange. The WMR rounds were considerably
louder (we didn't have ear protection in 1970, or were even aware of it). I
remember being un-impressed by the fire and smoke coming out between the
cylinders and the barrel - much preferring my 22LR Stoeger replica Luger.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Today's Fun

[Mitch Haley via Mercedes]

.22LR bullet diameter is .223
.22WMR is .224 and usually jacketed. 

I wouldn't be surprised if most .22LR barrels have a groove diameter of .222 to 
better engage the lead projectile, with .22WMR bored .224.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Today's Fun

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

Its huge. I've got a holster for it, the leather doesn't cover the end of the 
barrel...

I'll try to get a picture of it the next time I'm at my parent's house. When I 
got my concealed weapons permit the guy asked if I had any guns, I explained my 
parents were holding onto some for me. He asked if I had any pistols, I said I 
had a .44. He asked if I'd be carrying it and I explained that since open carry 
is illegal here and since its enormous I probably wouldn't carry it...

10" Blackhawk would be a lot to carry on your hip. 
Around here, those guns are scoped and carried in shoulder holsters for deer 
rifle substitutes. 
At least that's what a friend of mine does with an 8 3/4" stainless Taurus.

.22 is the diameter of .22 short, .22 long, .22 long rifle and .22 magnum. A 
.22 mag revolver should be able to shoot all 4 rounds although the shorter 
rounds will be less accurate (and of course less powerful) due to having to

Nope.

According to the Wiki and Ruger’s documentation, the convertible models can be 
fired with both .22LR and WMR rounds:

“Ruger manufactures several "convertible" models that ship with both a .22 LR 
cylinder and .22 WMR cylinder, allowing the use of both cartridges.[3] The .22 
Shortand .22 Long cartridges can also be fired in the Long Rifle cylinder. For

I think you mean something other than 22 magnum, I think that .22 magnum a
slightly larger caliber than .22LR so you'd also need a larger diameter
barrel.

Regardless, nice looking pistol and a great option for learning to safely
and accurately handle such.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Today's Fun

[Dan--- via Mercedes]

The provenance on this model gun is actually pretty cool.

Apparently, with the popularity of Westerns at the time, Ruger decided it would 
be smart marketing to put out a “six shooter” for the masses. There were a 
number of different models, with barrel lengths up to 9” and “convertibles” 
that had an additional cylinder that allowed the owner to shoot .22 magnum 
bullets as well.

The distinction between models as they aged seems to be the “three screw” 
identifier that applies to revolvers made before the late 60s/early 70s, when 
Ruger redesigned the action and added a stop bar for safety purposes.

You can still send your Super Single Six in to Ruger to be updated, but I’ve 
found that the three screw unmodified models are more valuable, so mine will 
stay that way and I’ll be careful to load only five at a time so there’s 
nothing “in the pipe” so to speak.

I’ve also found that Ruger will not sell parts without a serial number, and if 
it comes back as an unmodified model they will not sell you parts without 
having the revolver back and updating it.

Meh. There’s always Brownell’s.

It'll be fine, even with full loads.  With a 4" barrel the answer would be
different.

Nice, I have its BIG brother in .44 Mag. I inherited it from a great uncle, 
never have shot it though. With the 10" barrel recoil shouldn't be too bad but 
I suspect if I wanted to shoot it much I'd want to hand load...

Was there supposed to be a picture attached in the blank lines in between

[MBZ] OT - Today's Fun

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

After enjoying my Marlin 60 rifle so much, I started looking for a .22LR 
pistol/revolver.  I really didn’t want to drop the kind of coin necessary for 
like a Ruger Mark 4 or such, so I started looking at vintage revolvers.  Ended 
up buying a 1966 Ruger Super Single Six three screw model:



Won’t have time to get to the range today, so I’ll have to put it in the safe 
until later in the week when I can get out there…
