The Convertible design provides dual fluted cylinders for .22 LR and .22 WMR, giving you factory-supported versatility in a classic single-action platform. This example is the fixed-sight variant with a 5.5-inch barrel and six-round capacity.
The alloy-steel barrel is cold hammer-forged with a 1:14 RH twist and six-groove rifling. The bore is clean and bright, and the revolver maintains Ruger’s robust construction with a blued finish across the frame, cylinder, and receiver.
Sights are straightforward and durable: a ramped blade front paired with an integral fixed rear groove. The action is single-action only with a transfer-bar safety system and a loading-gate interlock.
Ergonomics and handling are supported by smooth wood grips featuring Ruger medallions. The revolver weighs 33 oz and is built in the United States. Notable details include the Southport, Conn. barrel rollmark and factory alignment to Ruger Model 00629 (Catalog NR-5F). The Ruger case’s end label matches the revolver’s serial.
