Hi. I'm going to purchase my first handgun. I'm just looking to target shoot and I want a revolver, not a pistol. Also, I want something "gentle" in the hope I can get my wife to try it. (Of course if she does, I'll need to buy more guns so we can shoot together :lol: )
My local dealer's got a Single Six 22LR/22MAG that he'll give me for $250. It's got Hogue grips, which he tells me is a good add-on. No case, manual or warranty although it does have the original cardboard box. The blue finish on the gun looks clean, no obvious wear. It has the transfer bar installed, although I don't know if that was original or it was sent in for their retrofitting. The MAG cylinder is stainless, (or as the dealer says 'shined up') while the 22LR cylinder is blued, which from my reading on this site may indicate a mismatch.
I'm not looking for a 22 magnum. If I want to hunt or have a self defense gun, I wouldn't get a .22. For that particular gun, the main motivation is its availability and its price.
Does this sound like a "good deal?" Does anyone understand the Ruger Warranty? In the manual it says "check your state statues." No luck in doing that in NJ.
I checked several gun shops in the area and none of them have used Single Six's. Is that an indication that it's a good collector gun and nobody wants to sell them, or just that there don't happen to be any in the market right now?
Finally is the adjustable sight on the Single Six a "must have" feature?
Thanks for taking the time to read my question and answer.
