They are like potatoe chips

[kellyrobyn]

I've had my license for only two months and I've already bought my second gun. My first was a Beretta 92FS and last night I bought my first revolver. Rugar Single six 22LR/22MAG. I can't wait to go and shoot it! Does anyone have any experience with this revolver? Did I make a good choice?

Indeed you did. I picked one of the 9.5 inch versions up not that long ago. It's a sweet little gun. I tested several different ammos through it during my last range trip. I think they tend to like the 22 mag ammo a little more than the 22lr but it has good accuracy with both.

Great gun, particularly to introduce new shooters

Just keep your fingers away from the cylinder gap when firing your Ruger.

Good catch, athough you must be old to remember that.

Yes I'm afraid you have the potential to be a gunaholic.

Kelly, just wait until you have fired full-auto firearms.

Then you may become seriously addicted to potatoe chips.

LOL! I just got the Dan Quayle reference! Blonde moment.

Blondes have more fun. And they jus' luvs potatoe chips. Bet you like a tomatoe once in a while too.

 

[kellyrobyn]

I will definitely be spell checking from now on.
And, Thanks CRSIII, I will keep that in mind.

No prob.

Drop $21 bucks, go green and come shoot with us this Nov!

Guaranteed awesome time!

My wife and I got into shooting 3 years ago with a Ruger Single Six and a Ruger Bearcat ... both single action .22s. They are both great to shoot and are excellent starter revolvers. However, you'll probably soon want to "upgrade" to a double action revolver where the cylinder swings out to load and unload the cartridges, as it's easier and faster than a handling a single action gun. If you really like shooting .22, you might consider a Ruger Mark II or Mark III semi-automatic .22. We have a Mark III and it's a ball to shoot. There are often used Mark IIs and Mark IIIs available at gun shops for reasonable prices.

@Reloader, I'm almost positive that is the gun I shot the last time I was at the gun club. I was shooting really terrible with my Beretta 92FS and there was a gentleman there who was nice enough to call me over and give me a few pointers while letting me use his 22. It's extremely obvious that I'm a rookie so people are taking pity on me. I did like that gun and was tempted to get one of those but my fiance and I wanted a revolver and the Rugar Single six was highly recommended. I can't wait to shoot it this weekend! I'll keep an eye out for one of those at the next swap meet.

That is a great gun, fun to shoot and pretty accurate. Well to the world of what gun is next!

Indeed they are, I got back into shooting in january and picked up my first gun then, and have since added another 5 to the collection

Been slacking, trying to save money for an M1A

 

[kellyrobyn]

I shot my single six this weekend and I love it! We shot over 200 rounds. We also shot 20 rounds of the 22 magnums too. I really like shooting that gun! I also did a little better this week with my 9mm. Shooting a new gun and getting better makes so much more fun. Thanks for all the advice and yes, I'm now thinking of which gun I want next. I'm thinking about getting a rifle.

"Hello, I'm Kellyrobyn and I'm a gunaholic"

Well ya got bit by the bug, ya made a great choice with the Ruger and it should provide you with a lot of happy hours on the range and it a great gun for learning the fundamentals of marksmanship.

Over the years, you will, no doubt, acquire other firearms, but I can't think of a better general purpose .22 handgun than the Ruger Single Six. The .22 Magnum is no slouch as a minor caliber personal protection round either (no kaliber wars, please, I'd take it over a .25 or maybe even a .32)

Now ya need to shell out your 21 bucks and go green !

Yup welcome to the addiction. I started off thinking all I would need is a hand gun for cow a shot gun for home defence and a riffle for plinking. Well I got those and about half a dozen more in 2 years time.
