I have a heritage 22 revolver that I’ve used on the trap line a while now and I’m having some issues with the firing pin I was looking at Ruger single six in stainless just wondering if they’re good for that or should I look for something else.

What about the wrangler model?

Really like my Ruger Wrangler

Bearcat

My Ruger Single Six has been serving me very well for about 40 years now.And it is a work gun,,not been babied.

I use the back side of my trowel or a 22 long Rifle.

single 6 will shoot forever,or get a single 10 if you're spending that much.

Ruger wrangler!! Very well made at a lower cost. I always felt why pay alot of money for a trapline gun that is going to be used in bad weather mud etc. Higher quality without the expense. JMO

I must have over looked the wrangler, I do like the price of them, I’ll have to see if any of my local stores have one to see how it fits my hands.

the wrangler is a single size in alloy with fixed sight notch and blade and they cerocoate it

it is a good step up form the Heritage Rought rider

safe to carry 6 rounds in with the transfer bar safety

but not the near heirloom gun the Single six SS is.

wrangler https://www.ruger.com/products/wrangler/models.html it is the same size and shape as the single six 4 5/8 barrel

if money is no concern the single 10 would be might nice

if you have to reload every 50 feet like ADC because you have that many coon to skin , then https://www.ruger.com/products/sp101/specSheets/5765.html

.single six are sound but heavy. I have to agree with warrior and get a Bearcat . It’s a classic and will last you for ever. only bad Ruger I owned in my life was a 77/22 hornet when they first came out. Did not shoot well. I read the early ones had bad barrels. Looking back to the late 80s it may have been my reloads. Sold it and purchased a 221 fireball. Wrangler may be great. Never looked at one but Ruger stands by their product and USA made. Don’t think you can go wrong. They all mess up . My oldest daughter purchased ,the best 22 revolver Smith and Wesson ever made. It was off so I sent it back and they repaired it . It took 4 months but it came back perfect. All I’m saying I get what you want and if you buy a good one it will last you for ever and your kids will get it. Hope this old man idea helps.

I use a Ruger SR 22. Simi auto. It rides in my wader chest pocket year around and always work. Shooting CCI rat shot it wont cycle but I can make it sound like full auto. It will fit in my pants pocket.

Agreed! I think you will like the Wrangler.

https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1024624440?pid=390415 - got this one for my boy for Christmas, Seems very nice and accurate. I hated the heritage I had because it had a 5" barrel and the standard grip, it was like hauling a brick on your side.

I am surprised nobody has mentioned S&W’s.

I am on my second 34-1, this coastal country is hard on metal, and the 17-4 is about as good of a shooter as I have found.

I don’t have the strength to carry all the ammo ADC goes through in a 200 foot line.

Mad_mike I have used Ruger mainly because of the 44 mag they’ve always been able to shoot any load, but maybe now it’s not an issue, I’ll look at the S&W I have trouble getting hand guns to fit my hand right so I do like to handle the gun before I buy.

I have a stainless single six my dad bought me when I graduated high school. It has served me very well. About 5 years ago I lost it. The belt loop on the holster broke and it fell off my side into a rut. I ran over it twice with the side by side burying it in the mud. I walked my trapline route twice and finally found it by luck. Took it home cleaned it really good and was back in business. I also have a wrangler and a bearcat. There is nothing wrong with either, but neither of them have seen the 30+ years use the single six has seen yet.

Got these 2 not long ago, Ruger wranglers been fun shooting them. Put a pile of rounds through them so far no issues easy to clean
