The Ruger Single-Nine is a large-frame, single-action revolver chambered in 22 WMR that brings substantial rimfire power into a user-friendly platform, with a 6.50" cold hammer-forged satin stainless barrel, cylinder and frame that resist wear while delivering consistent accuracy for hunting, range work and small-game or varmint control. With a 9-round capacity and an exposed hammer for traditional single-action operation, this Ruger revolver balances sustained firepower with classic handling; the Hardwood Gunfighter grip sits naturally in the hand for rapid follow-up shots and comfortable off-hand carrying during long days in the field. Safety features include Rugers patented transfer bar mechanism and loading gate interlock to reduce the risk of accidental discharge, and Williams adjustable fiber optic front and rear sights provide fast sight acquisition in changing light. At 39 oz and 12" overall length the Single-Nine is hefty enough for steady shooting yet manageable for trail use, and as a commercial firearm it requires an FFL transfer. If youre evaluating Ruger handguns or rimfire revolvers for hunting, target shooting or backcountry defense, this SAO, large-frame 22 WMR offers reliable construction and practical features that suit shooters who demand rugged durability and accurate rimfire performance.
