The overall condition of this firearm is excellent, in perfect working order, showing only faint signs of any prior use or handling. The sale includes the pistol itself with its original checkered black synthetic grips and a captivating blued finish. The action is Single Action Only (SAO), the bore condition is excellent, and the capacity is 6 rounds. The barrel length is a comfortable 5.5", and the sight features a rear adjustable dovetail square notch and a fixed half-moon blade at the front. Manufactured in the United States in 1955, this vintage gem has minor wear on the trigger guard and very minor finish wear on the ejector tube, but no other noticeable blemishes, maintaining its original charm.
The Ruger Single-Six Old Model is a testament to the history and evolution of firearms. It's part of Ruger's series of single-action revolvers inspired by the iconic Colt Single Action Army revolver, offering a glimpse into the past while maintaining the functionality and reliability of modern firearms. It has the desirable "flat gate" and "3 Screw" frame, which are sought-after features by collectors. However, it is an "old model", so there is no safety bar under the hammer to prevent accidental discharge if the revolver is dropped. For a shooter, it's recommended to send this to Ruger to get the safety bar upgrade.
For a collector, leave it as it is!

It represents the craftsmanship, masculinity and innovation of its time, and its .22 LR caliber brings accuracy and reliability to the table.
