Black Slim Jim for the Single Six

[CraigC]

I don't know what it is but the black always turns out so nice.

Some folks will be glad to see some leather work finally getting done.

A Three Screw Single Six. It certainly deserves nice leather.

Oh yes! I've got +30,000rds through the one above. These two came from the collection of the late gunwriter Terry Murbach.

a ruger single six (or super wrangler) is an essential handgun imho. mine was a get-home bag, car trunk, piece when i road tripped alot. i like my single six as a two screw because i want to safely carry a rimfire revolver for protection with all six 22wmr chambers loaded. i would be so content to live in a place where i could daily o.c. a single six in a holster as nice as o.p.’s holster.

Ruger Three Screw revolvers. Left to right, 44 Mag Flat Top, 357, Mag, 357 Mag, and three Single Sixes.

What that video failed to mention is the old Three Screw Rugers are basically just like a Colt. Even though all the springs were replaced with coil springs, it is important to NOT keep them loaded with six rounds. Five rounds only, with an empty chamber under the hammer, just in case it gets dropped onto the hammer spur. It will go off, and the so called 'safety cock notch' on the hammer is just as useless and unreliable as it is on a Colt.

I always keep 5 in a six shooter! Feels right & proper

That one has elk antler from Sack Peterson. The other two are fancy walnut by Zane Thompson. Originally got them for this flat-top but I often swap stuff around.

Examine a Convertible 5.5” Single Six 3 screw today. $399 (not $299) BUT it was converted to the transfer bar BUMMER!
