    The Single Sixes are smaller than a Colt SAA but bigger than a Bearcat.

    Uberti offers a small SAA, similar in size to the Single Six which they refer to as a Stallion (22LR/22 Mag).

    I'm using 6.0 gr red dot with either a 250 (454190) or 200 grain bullet (MP-45-200 @.453).
    I have the 4 3/4 barrel. The 200 gr shoot to point of aim. The 250's shoot a bit high.

    I get around 1100 FPS with 8.5gr Unique and Lyman 454190 in a 16" barrel.
    Haven't tried 8.0 gr over a chronograph. Best guess would be around 1025-1050 FPS.
