It was a six-shot .22 caliber called the “Single-Six”. Bill Ruger had recognized that, due to the popularity of the early 1950’s TV and movie westerns, a “cowboy type” gun should be desirable to the gun public. Thus the Single-Six was developed and proved to be a huge success. Less than 100 guns were actually produced in 1953 but in a short time production was firmly established. About 10,000 guns were produced in 1954 and about 20,000 guns produced in 1955, and production steadily increased thereafter. The first production guns were roll-marked on the left side of the cylinder frame “RUGER .22 CAL. SINGLE-SIX ”. These guns had a 5-1/2 inch barrel, a steel cylinder frame, three cylinder frame screws, fixed drift adjustable rear sight, fluted .22 caliber cylinder ( long rifle, long, or short ), flat cartridge loading gate, small serrated ejector rod button and an anodized aluminum frame.
