It's an acquired taste, nothing to do with practical. I would go go with the 9. 22mag is more fun AND "practical" for small game huntingNone of those. Rather, GP, SP, Redhawk. I don't understand the practical (non-competition) appeal of SAO.
Very true---And he didn't ask about any of themNone of the replies to my post affects my opinion of SAO. All of the Rugers I suggested shoot BOTH SA and DA. And, they are quite accurate in SA mode. The mere fact that a revolver shoots only SA does not make it more accurate than one which shoots both SA and DA. I know; I have three of them.
Furthermore, SAO isn't any less expensive, either.
Some are DA & some are SA -What is the differences between the ruger gp100, sp101, blackhawk, red hawk, and vaquero?
GP100 - Medium frame DA/SAWhat is the differences between the ruger gp100, sp101, blackhawk, red hawk, and vaquero?
Even better.Single Six,that way when you upgrade to a .45LC you will already be in the groove.I had the single six convertible .22LR/.22Mag and it was great,had the little 4.6" barrel.

I love my Single-Ten. I just use it for plinking and range shooting so I don't have any need for the Mag cylinder. I really like the FO sights, too. They work great for my aging eyes!MattyT said:Ruger Single Six, Nine, or Ten? And why?
A single action .22 makes a good understudy for the larger caliber single actions. A large caliber single action makes sense as to frame strength, comfort of grip, and ease of extraction. One-at-a-time extraction eases the ejection of swollen cases which may be difficult with multiple extraction revolvers.None of those. Rather, GP, SP, Redhawk. I don't understand the practical (non-competition) appeal of SAO.
