new ten shot looks nice but my old
three screw .22 convertable that I
bought new for $46.50 in 1962 at a rod
and gun club in France still works fine
and I can’t see any advantage to four
extra rounds. Usually leave one hole
empty anyway for safety sake.

I agree with Duke. I prefer the grip style on the new Single-Ten. To each his own, but Bisley Grips on the Single-Ten would make it too unattractive for me to waste my money on it. Besides, this is a rimfire, not a cannon, it doesn’t require a two-handed grip to shoot it accurately.

I shot with Bisley Vaqueros for over 5 years in SASS after first using standard Vaqueros. The Bisleys pointed better for me (when using a two-hand grip) and they draw from a holster just fine — both crossdraw and strong side. I’ll admit that many people do like the feel of the SAA grip, but it is really too short for a modern two-handed grip. I think most shooters will probably hold this gun with both hands — hence my comments.

I’m not suggesting that Ruger should eliminate the Gunfighter grip. What I’d like to see is a standard type grip (as on a m617) as an OPTION. Ruger may have figured that the Single 10 should only be marketed strictly as a SAA clone, because the Single 10 can’t compete with the ease of ejection of the S&W 617 (which ejects all ten spent rounds at once), and because anyone who wants superior target accuracy would go with the Smith anyway.

I love the grip on the single six. Its just like a Colt SAA. A Bisley grip totally takes away the natural pointing characteristics of the standard single action grip. A Bisley grip is also awkward to pull out of a holster because you have to break your wrist angle. I would agree with a Bisley for a heavy recoiling hunting handgun (.44 Mag and greater). Ruger made the 10 shooter just right.
