Built as an Old Model three-screw, this Single-Six retains the original pre-transfer-bar system and half-cock loading procedure. It is a six-shot, single-action-only revolver with a fluted cylinder and the classic Ruger feel of the period.
The 5.5-inch steel barrel pairs with fixed sights: a half-moon front blade and a rear notch integral to the topstrap for a clean, durable sight picture. The ejector-rod housing uses the round, serrated button typical of the era.
Construction is blued steel for the frame, barrel, and cylinder, combined with the XR3 aluminum-alloy grip frame. Black checkered synthetic grips with Ruger eagle medallions complete the factory-style configuration.
Markings include Southport, Connecticut barrel address and Ruger rollmarks, aligning with its 1950s production. As a 1958 Single-Six Standard Model, it reflects the fixed-sight configuration and period features collectors and enthusiasts expect from this early era.
