Best one I ever owned anyway. Got my grandads old H and R sportsman 9 shot. Its still a great one but that old Ruger is sure enough a dandy. (new model, safe to load 6) No clue how many rounds either has had through it. Still function flawlessly. Whats your favorite?

Had an ancient Hi Standard Sentinel Deluxe 9 shot .22 revolver I got for my 12th birthday. Went off about 70% of the time, out of time too, so.lead shavings and powder went everywhere.
Bought a used Ruger Single Six in the '80s that looked like someone drove stakes with it. Still use it today
I have a very old Single Six that has dispatched innumerable trapped coyotes. And coon, cats and beaver. But currently I carry an old S&W 22/32 I frame four inch 22LR. A bit lighter on the hip and a little more compact. It rides in a correctly handed Bianchi 5BHL holster.
Trail cameras and fresh snow have broke a lot of trapper’s hearts.
myself I have mostly Rugers. mark 2s and a single 10. Typically I use the one mark 2 got at 18 or 19 for everything well built I will never wear it out. Paird to much for them but picked up a government tsrget mark 2 and the single 10 for my boys. They were mint and should last more than their lifetime. Something flipped with me amd I'm not sentimental about guns like I used to be. They work and are tools to do a job But I used to put an emotional attachment to some of them for various reasons. Just noticed the change and not sure why it's there.
Two I got for the boys. mine.

Great old classic gun. And holster. I have the same holster, a Hunter I picked up for $2 in a box full at a gun shop over 30 years ago. I was too poor to buy a left handed holster to go with my newly acquired Single Six. It had wiped out my budget at the time. So I cut the stitching, turned it around and resewed it. It has worked fine all these years.

I have a markII also. Great gun, accurate, doesn't jam no matter what I feed it. I like those single actions for trapping cause I dont have to remember to engage the safety when I am remaking a set or whatever. Unless you c o c k the hammer back no chance of an accidental shot so no safety required.

I always used a Ruger MarkII, but really like the Ruger SR22 with the 22K Suppressor. It it really quiet when working around farm yards, in the early mornings.

In my experienced opinion, any pistol that is short, light, take some weather, and is accurate enough that the average shooter can consistently hit a coyote heart-size target at 6’-15’!

This was dad's gun and the first gun I ever shot. Still use it today. H&R Sportsman
Related.........while back was in a guy's office and he had a bunch of old stuff on the walls, among them a dinky little pistol in a leather holster. Looked very similar to yours. I thought it was a cap gun. Not so, It was an H&R Trapper.....what shot .22 shorts. Tiny little gun with long skinny barrel.
Years ago was reading an Outdoor Life, in that edition ran an article on history Ruger .22 auto. They said the short barrel version was weapon of choice for a lot of guys running traplines. Lusted after one for years until I was finally able to get one of my own. Has been my dispatch tool of choice ever since. Varmints anyway. Zombie double tap gets something a bit larger.

Easy to vote your way into socialism, but impossible to vote your way out of it.
I bought my Ruger Single Six aboard ship in 1960. I paid $65.00 for it brand new. Last year I sent it to my Alaskan grandson for his birthday. Lots of trap line memories I had with that gun.

What suppressor? Shot a Dead Air Mask recently and leaning that way, but maybe something a little lighter?
