needs more ammo
Interesting statement. I have a Ruger Single Six .22LR/Mag revolver with the 6" barrel that I have used occasionally for hunting. Once, I had to take a shot at a squirrel 10-12 yds. away using only my strong hand (rt.) as I was balancing the 12 ga. in my left. One shot w/ iron sights, right through his throat. This gun has never had any modifications done to it nor do I see any need for them.
It depends doesn't it.
After many months of time with my 9.5" barreled Single Six (years ago), I did a trigger job on it by reducing the sear engagement on the hammer and bending the trigger return spring legs for less pressure. That plus a larger grip to offset the muzzle weight made that gun much better than out of the box.
I almost forgot, I had to polish the chambers on both cylinders with that Single Six after the first outing as cartridges wouldn't seat fully after 2 or 3 cylinders full being fired. That was a huge help for me actually liking that gun.
I did similar work to my GP100 trigger and hammer mechanicals recently after owning it in stock condition for a couple decades. If I would have had more knowledge about the GP100 back in the day, I probably would have done that work back then.
What I like about the Ruger revolvers is it is relatively easy to do some basic work to compared to some guns.
