They’re so cheap, it should be against the law not to have atleast one!! Perfect for newbies and children....and fun for adults to play with too!Just stumbled across this thread again. I picked one of these at 619 myself over the winter. What a bargain! Love it. I guess i'm a skinflint.
Never understood why they put a safety on a sa revolver.....if they got rid of the useless safety they could sell em for $99.99 lol
So....put a transfer bar safety on it?It's there because the lockwork is much like the original Colt design (four clicks), which does not have a transfer bar safety like the post 1973 Rugers. This rolling hammer block safety allows you to carry a full six rounds in the cylinder with the hammer down. The rule for carry of the old design guns was "five beans in the wheel", you never wanted to rest the hammer on a live chamber, because it could set off the primer if the gun was dropped, or if something hit the back of the hammer while the gun was holstered.

The goal of any melting point rule is to DQ any ZAMAK "ring of fire" type guns..........That melting point requirement is BS.
Why did they pick 900 degrees, because that's the melting point of brass ???
Seriously ???
So that eliminates zinc, which melts at 787 degrees.
This is so stupid because a gun that uses zinc for a part not subject to high pressures, such as a sight base or trigger guard, is non-compliant. But it's OK to sell handguns with plastic frames.
Also, if a gun was stored loaded and subjected to such heat, the ammo would cook-off long before 900 degrees anyway.

How about the new ruger wrangler coming out?? I don’t ‘need’ one (I already have two 22 revolvers) but I will buy one just for shits and giggles.It's really funny in a sad way that they found a way to keep a single action .22 revolver out of the hands of the citizens...
And that it is!the nice trigger pull.
Oddly enough this is one part of the reason mass came up with these tests. My dad always called the these guns snap cap conversions as tbe snap cap guns where often built better than the pistols.You are right just checked the list. Not on there so I wont be able to get it from a FFL. I am guessing at that price point it doesn't make sense for them to submit all the models for Massachusetts testing plus what ever fees they have to pay to Mass for the testing to be be done. Whatever the testing is. I would love to see that SOP.
I know!It's really funny in a sad way that they found a way to keep a single action .22 revolver out of the hands of the citizens...
