Couple of differences between the old model and the new model Single Six

I have a ca. pre-1970 Ruger Super Single Six. Came with transfer bar and is a new model. My Redhawk has a transfer bar. And, personally, I wouldn't want a revolver without the transfer bar. A great saftey addition.
My SSS is one of my favorite guns. It was a regular companion with me on the farm and in the woods for decades. Sadly, now only gets occasional use mostly for dispatching unwanted animals around my rural home.
IMHO, one of the great guns.
 
This is my 4 digit .44 mag I've had for many many years and have taken a deer with each new season and plan on many many more, God willing. I would never dream of the modification even if Ruger paid me to do it. Why? Tradition mostly even though the scope challenges that logic. The works were tuned by Thomas Gun Works in Utah and the trigger breaks like a glass rod. I just never set the hammer down on a chamber with a round in it (any more, see the following.

This one is my .357 and also not modified. I did a slow rust blue on it and polished out the aluminum. I did almost shoot off my big toe by failing to follow the rule of safety when dealing with the 3 screw. I only set the hammer down as always gently muzzle pointed down into the box where I was dumping my empties located between my feet. It discharged missing my foot by an inch. So dont think your smarter than the rule makers IT WILL DISCHARGE ON A SOFT PRIMER BE SURE
