…which legitimately seems to be more like “A moment of weekly-weakness,” I bought another Single Six .22.
This time, a 6.5” Bisley model.
It is the second Ruger revolver, and third overall, that I have brought home in the past three weeks.
Oh, I have a 6.5” Single Six convertible so I really didn’t “need” another .22 of similar dimensions, but the feel of the dang Bisley grip frame just calls to me. I guess since it wasn’t an adjustable-sighted version the price remained very reasonable for the condition it was in, so bringing it home was not too painful. There is a light bluing patch near the muzzle and on the ejector rod housing, a spot on the left side of the frame, a touch of discoloration on the loading gate and also on the right side of the hammer spur. That will buff off clean with 0000 steel wool and WD-40. The usual Ruger turn line is there, and that is about it. The original owner even cleaned it up a bit before selling, the chambers and bore needed minimal Hoppes-brushing and patches to come clean.
Here it is with its Bisley brethren. a .32 H&R 6.5”.
And with the .22 6.5” Single Six sporting the unfluted .22 WMR cylinder in place.
Now if I could just find a Flattop .44 Spl. with a Bisley grip in my price range.
It’ll be a week or more before I can get out to shoot it. When I do get a chance I’ll write up how it shoots for me.
Stay safe.
