Help seeker_two pick a .22....

I'm with the Cat.  My Single Six is "spot on" when it comes to shooting.  Spend the few dollars extra for adjustable sights.

Absolutely!

One might argue that without a safety or a de-cocker SAs are even less safe than other types of actions.

Yes, a single action wheel gun will shoot anything, however hitting your target is another matter.    If you get a kick out of SA shooting by all means go for it, but you're replacing accuracy with nostalgia.

To me single action involves the letters T and C.  And for a wheel gun,  S and W.

I don't know Alf ? Pull trigger, hammer drops, sounds like two (double) action to me

A freind of mine has one he likes and it was about $200.
Personally I don't like the MIM hammer, but that's because I'm an unemployed machine operator.

Ruger Single Six three screw - my first gun and still going strong today..

Find the revolver that fits you

No to the Earl just for safety (no trigger guard).

Unless you have real small hands I would also say no to the Bearcat.

Get a Ruger Single Six.  They come in every 'flavor' you can think of, (stainless, blue, any barrel length, with 22 Mag Cylander, etc).  It will become a treasured heirloom to pass on.  It is also (IMO) the BEST gun to start a new shooter.

Umm... yeah I agree with Hazcat on this one. I'd go for the Ruger.

I've got 3 Single Sixes, and a Single Six was the first handgun I ever shot...needless to say I have a soft spot in my heart for the little guns...

Just inherited a Heritage 6.5" last week myself. My F-I-L passed away back at Thanksgiving, and after studying on it a spell, my M-I-L thought I might like to have it. She stayed with us a few days after having eye surgery and gave it to me when we picked her up.
Have not shot it yet, but I like the look and feel. It's definitely not Ruger quality but seems like a good gun for what was paid for it (around $200 with tax). Might have to do a range report in the near future.

Thanks for the info, y'all.   

I've thought about the Single-Six, but I'd rather not have that much weight invested in a .22lr for plinkin' and woodsbummin'.  And I'm not a big fan of adjustable sights....when I find a load I like, I break out the file & never have to worry about losing zero.  And I've known a few guys who have taken a spare Bearcat cylinder and had it reamed out for .22Mag...never had any problems shooting it. It's on my to-do list, too....

I've owned a Heritage, and it was a great gun. Never got used to the "safety" that I never used. And I did handle a 4" birdshead-gripped one yesterday that was very tempting.....

Well if a Single Six is too much $ maybe look at the Charter Arms Pathfinder (DA).  Should be about $300.00
