The Sturm Ruger New Model Single-Six is a single-action revolver that was first introduced in 1953. The "new model" designation came in 1973, marking a significant redesign. The Single-Six was produced to take advantage of the growing popularity of western-style shooting sports post WWII. It's a great choice for a variety of reasons. Its timeless design pays homage to the classic single action revolvers of the Old West, delivering a nostalgic and authentic shooting experience.
Thanks to its .22 magnum caliber, it offers excellent accuracy and manageable recoil, making it ideal for plinking, target shooting, or small game hunting.
