[WARD O]

Sounds like Jason's got another surprise coming from Lipseys for we single action fans....

Wonder what??

OK, this REALLY needs to stop.

[jrayborn]

Oh that's not right.

[lefty o]

i always wanted to see a super blackhawk hunter in .475 Linebaugh.

[Deep Six]

Well if I got a say they'd bring back the old vaquero in 480 with the bisley grip and do real case color hardening. And still sell for 500-600 bucks.

But judging from Ruger's recent product announcements, it's probably going to be a new blackhawk with a space-age composite frame chambered in 9mm with obscenely tacky fiber optic sights. You know, "the ultimate carry single action chambered in America's #1 selling caliber."

[contender1]

It won't be a big bore,,, so you have to have some patience if you wish for that.

[jrayborn]

Details man, we need DETAILS!!


(please?)

[GSaltzman]

Posted a couple days ago on the Ruger Forum. Jason replied it was not a Blackhawk. Everyone thinking it's a small bore on the Single Six frame. Suspense is killing me!

[jrayborn]

My favorite!

You know, a blue 5 shot 9mm on a singlesix frame might not be so bad. Maybe with a extra .38 special cylinder.

[Love Life]

A 32 caliber single six would get me to open up the wallet.

[Maximumbob54]

Does the .327 fit that cylinder? There seem to be a lot of guys trying to convert anything they can to shoe horn the .327 into smaller framed guns.

[Love Life]

I'd be happy with the 32 S&W, 32 H&R, or the 327 Magnum.

I just want a small bore centerfire with low recoil and easy on the lead and powder consumption. Hopefully it's not something boring like the birds head single six...yawn.

[Southpaw 72]

You sir, are a cruel SOB.

[Maximumbob54]

I just wish Ruger would offer the Keith grip frame. Having finally held one I now hunger for one.

[DougGuy]

I thought they dropped the .327

They can't make a 480 on a SA frame, the barrel shank would be too thin and the cylinder won't hold 48k pressures reliably enough and Ruger certainly isn't going to create a 5 shot hand cannon and release it to the public.

[WALLNUTT]

I'd like a reintroduction of the 32 mag in the single six.

[rintinglen]

I vote with them^^^^

[9.3X62AL]

If the Facebook photo is to be relied upon--a rear angle view of what appears to be a stainless Single-Six with a larger-than-22-caliber charge hole visible through an opened loading gate, adjustable rear sight.......we might get our wish. The Ruger SSM was an extremely practical field revolver, and selling my example ranks among the stupidest transactions I was ever a party to. I hope--if the Lipsey special is a 32 of some species--that they give it at least a 4" barrel, and not some idiotic Shopkeeper's 3" Variant. Compact wheelguns with abbreviated barrels in 32 Mag/327 Federal have been done to death, and didn't sell. PUT SOME BARREL ON THE NEXT ONES, fer cryin' out loud.

[rintinglen]

If that is a 4.6 or 5.5 inch barrel 32, heck I don't care if it's a 32 S&W, or H&R, or .327 or for that matter, 32-20, I'm in. As Al said, I don't need no stinking snubbie, give me some barrel so's I can shoot straight!.

The Gospel!!

[FergusonTO35]

I would love a single six with 5.5" tube and adjustable sights in any kind of .32. Heck I would even take it in .32 Auto, which would work perfectly in a properly dimensioned cylinder. It would be easier and cheaper to feed than my .22 LR single six.

[Love Life]

I give absolutely no consideration in any firearm chambered in 22lr. Not worth the time due to the shortage.

[FergusonTO35]

Truer words never spoken! The only good thing about .22 LR is that it was once cheap and available everywhere. Now that's no longer the case I much prefer my reloads with boolits- which are actually cheaper.

How about an old model single six frame 5 shot .38 special.
Alan Harton did that.

[c1skout]

38 super! 38 super! I can wish. I'd like any of the 32's also, just not as much as a 38 super.

[Rio Grande]

So when will we find out?

[doc1876]

I have to 2nd Maximumbob54, I would buy a Keith by Ruger in a heartbeat. and I really don't like Rugers! (can't never get them back together after a thorough cleaning!!!)

[jakec]

38 super! 38 super! I can wish. I'd like any of the 32's also, just not as much as a 38 super.

i second the 38 super!!

[JHeath]

i second the 38 super!!

Please explain the appeal of .38 Super in a revolver, small or large. There seems to be a fault in my understanding.

An auto pistol in .38 Super has been on my list for some time. Although looking into it got me distracted by Clark's fun with 9x23 conversions of Tokarev pistols, which led me to get further distracted with 7.62x25 when I bought a Tok to convert.

But I digress. Why a .38 Super revolver instead of a .357? Unless you want to pair it with a .38 Super carbine that I didn't know existed.

cause i want one. i have a couple 357s.

[SSGOldfart]

327 Magnum gets my vote

I would be happy with a 327 mag too.

well something we can agree on

[FLHTC]

Get ready

[GSaltzman]

Looks like it will be a couple of months to wait before they release any information.

[FergusonTO35]

Is this going to be a catalog gun or another ethereal distributor exclusive?

[WARD O]

Word on the Single Action Forum is that Ruger has said it is a seven shot 327 mag stainless Super Single Six with no mention as to barrel length! Sounds pretty interesting to me!

ward

[9.3X62AL]

Barrel length......give it some barrel length to work with.......drooling phase has onset with Ward O's information.

That's shear speculation. With all the issues Ruger had in the SP101 cylinders chambered in the 327, it's doubtful they would repeat it in a single action.

[Rio Grande]

No seven-shooters please.
5 shot .38,4 3/4 or 5 inch barrel, single six platform.

[FergusonTO35]

As much as I love both the Single Six and the .38 Special I wouldn't buy one so chambered. My S&W 10-5 and Ruger Service Six have me well covered there. I really want one with six rounds of .32 anything on board. Would prefer that it not be a .327. The cartridge is dead, I have zero desire to try it, and don't need the extra freebore in the chamber or extra size and weight. If there ever was a perfect cartridge for the Single Six the .32 Magnum is it!

I like the .32/.327 singlesix too.
But prefer a little more bullet mass.
5 shot .38 would be a bit more practical and effective, just as a 5 shot .44 or .45 Service 6 would have been.

[jrayborn]

If you want more mass with .327Mag load a bigger boolit. I have a MP 140gr SWC that has some mass...

[Rio Grande]

And I have a 168 grain Keith swc in .38. A little more 'balanced'.

I'll tell you though,, any centerfire single-six would be nice. Personal preference, horse races, and all that.
I'd buy an original blue .32 mag. single six in a heartbeat.

But I like .38.......brass is everywhere and cheap. Good, practical, old school round.

I'd bet though on something like the seven shot .327....something to spur sales.
Maybe a fiber optic sight too.

When will we know for sure? Where's the NSA when you need them?

[9.3X62AL]

NSA got the info months ago, and over-subscribed the issue already. Big punks. :)

I'm with you, the centerfire single sixes just seem RIGHT.

[.45Cole]

I was just thinking about what it would take to get a 32-20 into a single six today! It was just passing though, as 32/20's are too long.:sad:

[9.3X62AL]

ANOTHER thread on the Ruger Forum insists that the Lipsey offering will consist of Single Sixes (Sevens) in stainless with 4-5/8", 5-1/2", and 7-1/2" barrels. Unknown if fixed or adjustable sights in this latest rant. If adjustable-sighted, and NO COLORED PRISMS in said sights, I'll take a 4-5/8" thank you.

I sure agree. Nice black adjustable sights only need apply.
I'll take a 5 1/2.

[Love Life]

I'd take a 5 1/2 inch with adjustable sights, please. Depending on price I might get me a 7 1/2 inch as well!!

[rintinglen]

I'll take the 5 1/2, or the 4 5/8, and colored inserts are fine, though I prefer plain black for most uses.

[jmort]

I like the look of the flush ejector with the 4.62" barrel. Used to be a stainless guy but now I prefer blue. Regardless, I have loved all the single action Rugers I have owned.

If the person in question "insists" it is to be a seven shot, then it will be a 22 RF and not a 32 of any configuration.
The single-six cylinder/frame will not support a seven shot in 32 and be safe to shoot.

[Deep Six]

I dunno about that - in the rugerforum thread the Lipsey's rep all but confirmed it was a 7 shot 327. That and the picture he posted definitely has 32 caliber holes in the cylinder, and looked to be spaced for 7. Someone did the math and concluded that there would be 0.030" between the rims of the 327 in 7-shot configuration given the radius of the single six cylinder.

Well, I got one of my 32 mag single-sixs out of the safe and gave it a look-see, after a little math I guess a seven shooter can be done. But, I don't think I'd do much hot rodding with it.

I've had these same thoughts, Hickory. Granted, the bolt notches locate over solid metal and not a charge hole, but Ruger had cylinder issues with their SP-101 x 327 Federal. The more thought I give this, the colder my feet get. Maybe a decent Colt Police Positive or S&W Reg Police/Hand Ejector in 32 S&W Long with 4" barrel would work out better in all respects.

[Love Life]

I'd be happy with a 6 shot 32 H&R mag.

[rintinglen]

The photo on face book appears to me to have at least as much metal between charge holes as my Model 66. and the bolt notches will not be on the thinnest part of the cylinder wall. Barring stupid barrel length issues (too short or too long) I'm all over this one--I don't plan on shooting factory stuff anyways.
I'm channeling the Chipmunks right this minute. ("Hurry Lipsey's, hurry fast! I've got cash but it can't last").

[Hickory]

Maybe they will do the smart thing and open up the window and increase the diameter of the cylinder.

[Deep Six]

If I get one (haven't decided if it's high enough priority on my list), I will be shooting H&R and lower loads out of it, except for enough factory 327 just to get a supply of brass. If Ruger is chambering it in 327, it must be safe and warrantied with factory 327 ammo. If there's an issue like the SP101 (I doubt Ruger would make the same mistake twice), I'll just stick to 32 Long and 32 H&R.

[jrayborn]

I have both the GP and SP101 in .327 mag. If they offer it in the single six I may have to buy a pair. In the GP and SP101 it shoots like a laser beam.

[9.3X62AL]

I'd be happy with a 6 shot 32 H&R mag.

I am. Maybe that's the whole point here, that I already have the ground more than covered.

Such a revolver as this Lipsey offering is IS one route to this capability, though my BH in 30 Carbine is yet another.
