This RSSE is part of a rare distributor-exclusive series, limited to 150 units in 2019. The unique RSSE-xxxx serial format and fixed-sight configuration echo the classic 1950s RSSE concept, giving this revolver clear collectible appeal backed by a documented provenance.
The revolver is steel throughout with a high-polish blued finish, complemented by a silver (in-the-white) grip frame. A full-length ejector rod housing and the clean fixed-sight topstrap groove complete the traditional Single-Six profile.
Tyler Gun Works performed an in-house action job on this example, documented by the included certificate. In addition, the hammer and trigger wear a color case-hardened finish by Tyler Gun Works, adding a period-correct aesthetic touch to the RSSE theme.
Functionally, it is a single-action-only six-shooter in .22 LR with a 5.5" steel barrel. It uses Ruger's transfer-bar safety and fixed sights consisting of a ramped front blade and integral rear notch milled into the topstrap.
Two factory grip sets are included: smooth black panels with Ruger medallions installed, and OEM smooth walnut panels with medallions as a spare set. This gives the buyer authentic, factory-correct options for display or use.
