The New Model Single-Six Convertible offers .22 LR / .22 WMR capability, with a six-shot fluted cylinder installed and an additional .22 WMR cylinder included. The New Model transfer-bar system allows safe carry with all six chambers loaded, while the exposed, serrated spur hammer provides positive control.
Its 6.5-inch barrel and blued steel finish balance sight radius, handling, and durability. The revolver uses a ramped front sight and a fully adjustable micrometer-style rear sight for precise zeroing with different loads.
Details include an ejector-rod housing with a crescent-style ejector head and barrel warning text on the left side of the barrel. The hardwood grips with silver Ruger SR eagle medallions add a clean, period-correct look and secure purchase.
Made in the United States in 1981, this 1980s-era example represents the established New Model Single-Six Convertible series. The extra .22 WMR cylinder is rollmarked and stows in a red drawstring pouch for convenient caliber changes.
