A single six in good condition for less than $400 is an excellent value. Imho, having owned one myself.
The Rough Rider has a glued in barrel , and a really crappy safety. And major parts made of ZAMAK. Your conclusion that the RR is 85% as good as the Single Six is absurd.
And - comparing the quality of the ZAMK RR to the Ruger LCR is absurd.
I am a fool for owning and revering my stainless Single Six. There , I admitted it , and I feel much better.
(WVGunman - no one would be beating up on the Rough Rider had you not come on so biased and strong.)
Conclusion : Those who choose to buy , shoot and enjoy the Rough Rider should just do so , without looking for validation. And , if the barrel falls off , try to discreetly pick it up and slip it into your range bag before anyone notices.
In fact, I might just get one in a big bore caliber and save some money along the way.
Would paying two or three times that amount made me more happy when shooting it? Hell no.
Wanting to skimp a little on price/quality for a 22 is one thing. Wanting to do it on a big bore revolver is.....an unwise decision. It might not make you happier. But it might save you a reconstructive surgery bill for your hand. So which is worth more to you?
