This looks like a fun gun, albeit a little expensive. The single stainless Single-Six with its included .22 Magnum cylinder is more versatile for the same price.

I've owned a few Ruger revolvers and and a couple of 10/22 rifles for years and was considering a Single Ten. Looked at it this morning and was disapointed to find that the cylinder does not lock up when it is cocked. Not good. I don't want to have to manually align the cylinder everytime I fire the piece. Looked at a Ruger SP 101 in .22LR as well and disappointed in the finish work. The trigger pull was very heavy but the cylinder did lock up firmly. All in all, not what I expected for $500+. Maybe the QA at Ruger is not what it used to be.
Bought a new single ten Saturday 11-10-12. Took it home to shoot. Cleanded gun chambers too tight had to force ammo in. Ran a bore brush thru and still same problem. Well loaded it and cylinder extremly hard to turn actually wiping brass from face of cartridge. Hammer hard to pull and won't fall without help. Took gun back and they checked it and said timing was off cylinder fit was horrible. Gave me my money back and said you would think RUGER would not let somthing like this happen.I own four other RUGER handguns and their GREAT. BUT THE SINGLE TEN WHAT A P.O.S.
