Ive always loved plinking with 22 pistols.
Takes me back to being a 10 yr old kid who spent all his money at Steinbergs and NA Guns buying bricks and buckets of 22 ammo.
I.d head out after school to the Stevendale Rd train trestle, Jones Creek, Honeycut Bayou or where bass pro is now and shoot all evening.
Ive collected a Ruger MK I, II & III a Buck Mark, Smith 41, High Standard Supermatic a Browning 1911 22 and a Colt Woodsman in semi auto and H&R, Iver Johnson , Colt New Frontier, Ruger Single Six in single actions. Taurus, Smith & Wesson Double actions.
Just picked up an old model Bearcat on the way home today and its a sweet lil shooting SOB. Steady popping white cans with CCI quiets off the deck and the dog aint barking and the wife aint bitching about the noise.
Any of ya'll hooked on this shite as well ?

I have a ruger single six. Love that little gun. Perfect for eradicating the moccasin population.

I too have a Single Six and love it.

If I could go back in time and repeat this purchase, I would lean toward the Single Ten for the four extra rounds. The Single Six also has 22 mag cylinder which I may never use.

ETA: I also have a Ruger SR-22 which gives me the fun of plinking using 22LR but the convenience of a semi-automatic.

I honestly don't know anyone who uses the mag cylinder myself. I never have.
The single 10 will get grabbed up eventually as well a the single 9 and a GP 100 in 22.
I have a ton of magnums basically every sought after handgun ever made but I just
Have a blast plinking 22's more than anything else.

Yeah I've never used the mag cylinder. But that hasn't stopped me from buying ammo for it.

I have the 999 myself. When the remake of 310 to Yuma came out I had to Ben Foster a few cans.

I use the mag cylinder for coon hunting and probably shoot more magnums than LR. I use my single six a wholeeeeeee lot.

The single six is an incredible value. When I get bored at the camp, I go ring a 6"x6" piece of steel at 100 yards with it. By far the most fun gun I own.
