I've been shooting the Ruger Mark III (.22lr) and was kind of interested in a .22lr/.22wmr revolver.
I am a medium size guy, 5' 9" - 170 lbs, but have small hands by any standard.
The Ruger Single Six convertible looks like a very nice gun, but it's single action.
The double actions sound a bit more practical, but the only ones I could find were made by Taurus (Tracker) and Charter Arms (Pathfinder). I am not too familiar with these brands, but perceive them to be lesser than Ruger. The Taurus was in the NRA mag this month, and got a good review. The Charter Arms I know almost nothing about.
The main use would be target shooting. By sticking with .22 lr and wmr I can use the ammo for varmints and pests with a rifle.
I wanted to edge up to a more powerful handgun, but keep the cost of ammo to a minimum. I don't have any problem shooting the Ruger Mark III up to 25 yards - 90% of shots in a 4" circle. I would want similar accuracy from the .22 wmr.
Thanks, Mark.
