Practical advantages of a 22 WMR cylinder

The 22 WMR cylinder gives this revolver a balance between light recoil and effective terminal performance at close ranges. For defensive use in low-stress environments or as a training platform, 22 WMR offers flatter trajectory and better energy than typical .22LR loads while still remaining comfortable to shoot for extended practice. For urban or close-quarters scenarios where over-penetration is a concern, properly selected defensive loads in 22 WMR can provide controlled performance.

Condition notes and tactical considerations

Buyer awareness: this specific RUGER SINGLE SIX is described as very good condition as some light scratches in frame with 22 WMR cylinder. Those light frame scratches are cosmetic and do not affect the mechanical integrity; they’re common on carry-used guns and are disclosed honestly. Inspecting the timing, cylinder lockup, and hammer/sear function remains important before fielding any used revolver.

Why Ruger and the Various model designation matter

Ruger’s reputation for solid manufacturing and serviceability makes this a sensible choice. The listing as Model: Various indicates this piece may come from a range of production runs or configurations — confirm barrel length and sighting setup on the product page prior to purchase. For many defenders, simple sighting, robust lockwork, and predictable trigger cadence are the priorities, all of which are core strengths of Ruger revolvers.

For a reliable, straightforward defensive revolver that combines manageable recoil, Ruger build quality, and a reasonable price point of $599.99, this RUGER SINGLE SIX deserves consideration.
