I have to brag.
I am usually a day late and a dollar short.

How much for that revolver?

"Just so you know, it's not normal. It is called a single action. You have to cock it to shoot it. You can't just pull the trigger. The bullets go in over here.... blah... blah... blah..."

Hmmm... Interesting...

"I'll take $300 for it."

Me either, had to look it up, MSRP is almost $900.

Awww man!

Seriously, good buy dude.

Yes, you ...er got away with it!

If you have trouble sleeping at night, you can send it to me PIF and the charity will help!
Congratulations.

Veeeery nice pickup there! Thats certainly a sweet Ruger and a great price.

When you get a chance to shoot it let us know how it shoots for you.

Stay safe.

Nice revolver! Great deal!

very sweet deal! my only slight problem with the ruger single nine & ten stainless revolvers is that they are way too pretty (and expensive) to do this platform’s originally intended role mucking about as an outdoors sidearm, compared to a blued single six, i.e. showhorse versus plowhorse.

Being stainless, it is much tougher and impervious to the outdoors than it's blue counterpart.

The ONLY draw back to the Single-Ten is it is SLOW to reload.

IMO an 8 shot would be perfect. I have a Single Six in blue and stainless. Grandson carries the stainless more than I do. It looks new. The blue is a 3-screw, well used and well worn, shoots good as new. Both have magnum cylinders.

Great find. It will last several lifetimes. I would have been all over that 10. They are seldom seen for sale. 9s even less.

Well done!

Not that slow, I can burn through a brick of ammo in about 2hrs with one. Better with two, they will get too hot to handle.

In training we were taught in an emergency, it only takes one round for a gun to be reloaded.

That gun is not typically thought of as a self defense weapon, but just something to keep in mind.

OP: Good luck with your new gun!

Great deal on an even better looking revolver! I want to get a single ten but just can't stomach MSRP. For $300 I'd of asked if they had more!

I have a love/hate relationship with this forum.

I love the forum as a whole, but damn. Y'all always find a way to make me incredibly envious.

Dude, absolute great find.

Or spend money.

I like guns, and I will spend some money on em, but I never knew I "needed" so many different things until I found this forum!
I would like to replace my wrangler with a single ten like the Op's though. I had a single six back in the days of unemployment, and it went away to pay bills. If it had been a ten shot I'd still have it...

Massive congrats on a great revolver and even better deal!! I lucked into a similar deal a couple of years ago. (Wish it happened more often.) The best aspect was discovering that, for some reason, I shoot the Single-Ten better than a Single-Six. It's become my favorite 22lr single action.

If you rotate the cylinder correctly you can line up the holes in the gate and load 2 at a time. Lipsey sold the 4 3/4 barrel exclusively.
