Sometimes I think I want to buy a Single-Six convertible in .22/.22 Mag. as a woods gun for plinking and small game. I had an Old Model convertible as a kid, but found the reloading too slow for my young tastes.
Now I think it might be a good field gun, particularly in stainless and with a short barrel.
What kind of accuracy can I expect with both the .22 LR and the Magnum cylinders? Is the .22 Magnum a practical small game round in a handgun, or is it too destructive? Or not a relible stopper? How bad is the trigger pull on a Single Six, say compared to a S&W K22?
For the weight of a Single-six, I could carry a .38 which would anchor small critters more reliably. I'm talking myself out of it again!
What do you think?
