Single Six vs. SP101 .22lr

Loading and unloading single action .22s gets old really fast.

I agree about the loading and unloading. It's okay with larger cartridges, but the 22's are small.

Loading my 45 Colt is fun, loading the Single Six, which I sold is not so fun. The double actions aren't cheap but, make for way more fun 22 plinking. I have a S&W M63 that makes every trip to the range.

I don't find loading/unloading my Single Six annoying at all. I have a 4 5/8" blued convertible, with fixed sights. Love it. It will shoot any .22 rimfire ammo I can get my hands on.

My 16yo daughter says it is her favorite gun.

The solution to reload speed, is to buy a couple of .22 LR single stack magazines and use them as speedloaders.
Reload speed is an issue for me if I'm at a range where I'm paying, by the hour, for range time.
They don't even have to be good quality. All they need to do is hold the rounds, and release them when you push them forward.
I can't claim credit for this idea. Anudder forumite uses 1911 mags as speedloaders for his .45 ACP Blackhawk.
The Ruger Mk 2 mags seem to work well for my Single Six.
