hey folks tom mckay with american handgunner um are you sick of politics i am but
hold on one more thing i'm running for president after this uh fiasco i'm going to try something
completely different here's my slogan one of these in every home preferably two i think it'll work
so what is it it is a ruger single six it is not new this this uh pistol's actually been out for
for quite some time um but you just can't beat it for cool and fun uh okay let's let's take a close
tour of this thing and i'll show you why it's so neat all right so here it is this is uh the
six and a half inch barrel model i like them in stainless so you know you can get them in blue dot
finishes too i just think it looks cool with the rosewood style grips they're actual wood grips and
i don't know it's a neat look and it's pretty durable you don't have to baby the thing so
much to keep it squeaky clean and and rust free so as you can tell it is a classic
single action revolver open the loading gate and drop your cartridges in comes time to unload line
up the cylinder pop them out like that so cowboy 6 gun but in 22 long rifle the sights are blacked
out kind of a ramped front sight like that got some serration on there so it doesn't have so
much glare the rear and this is important because i'll tell you why in a minute is an adjustable
sight for both windage and elevation with that screw right there pure single action [ __ ] it
fire it every time so pretty simple stuff this is a fantastic beginner's gun so being a revolver
you don't have to worry about cycling so you can shoot all sorts of 22 ammo i've got some
match ammo relatively low velocity from norma we got some tactical stuff uh more for semi-autos
but here's where things get fun you can shoot the unusual 22 loads like this 22 calibri this is a
primer only load with a 20 grain lead bullet it is very much like an air gun so you can shoot them
in places without a full-blown range all safety rules apply eyes and ears and all that stuff but
you got a lot lower velocity and a lot less bullet weight so out of this revolver i'm going to time
it later today but i'm guessing it's going to be about 350 feet per second now if you really
want to get crazy check out these aguila 22 sniper subsonic range these things are powder charges but
you'll notice the brass case is somewhat shorter than normal that's to make room for a gigantic
60 grain bullet these may or may not cycle semi-automatics but in a revolver we don't care
it's just going to work and these things are lots and lots of fun so here is the cool thing about
the single six this is the convertible model so we can also shoot 22 magnum uh different cylinder so
it comes with this extra cylinder they're easy to tell apart you can tell the 22 long rifle
is fluted the magnum is not that uh allows you to make sure you got the right one in there for
whatever ammo you're shooting let's take a look at how you swap these things out right now i've
got the 22 long rifle cylinder in the revolver we're going to go ahead and switch that out to
the magnum just to show you how easy it is first thing there is a locking button right there press
that in that allows you to pull the cylinder pin all the way out put that guy down cylinder pops
out take our new 22 magnum cylinder drop it in if i could not be a spaz and get the pin lined up
uh we're all ready to go release it and we are now ready to shoot 22 magnums piece cake right
all right i've loaded up a cylinder full of mixed ammo i've got the normal match
two shots then i've got the calibri powderless 20 grain lead bullets and then i've got those aguila
60 grain sniper subsonics with the big fat lead bullets let's see if you can hear the difference
that was a calibri
another calibri subsonic
another subsonic
and finish with a standard batch how about that cool little revolver huh all right thanks
