I'm looking for a low priced, traditional-looking, cowboy-style six-gun in .22LR. Having a .22 WMR cylinder would be a plus, but not necessary. I want this mostly for use in doing the live fire portion of NRA Basic Pistol classes, which now require students to demonstrate that they can safely load and fire a single action revolver.
I don't want a Heritage, because of that stupid safety. And I don't want a Ruger Wrangler because of those two lines they scribe around the cylinder. I would love to get a Colt New Frontier or a Ruger Single Six, but those are out of my price range.
Who else makes or has made authentic looking .22LR six-guns? I'm open to either full-size SAA clones in .22LR or to scaled-down models like the Colt New Frontier and Ruger Single Six. I'm not finding much of anything on Gunbroker, other than Ruger Wranglers and Heritage Rough Riders. Used is fine, as long as it's mechanically sound, fully functional, and accurate enough for new shooters to be ably to put rounds on paper at fairly close range.
