I like it more then any Smith I have, a few are the 686, 586, 64, 19, 37, 10, 637, 632, 640, 642, and a few others. Best $500 revolver I ever bought, the next best revolver purchase was my 642 Smith, I carried it EveryDay/AllDay for over three years now. It was $399 & sales tax, so I'm down to a $100 a year, $3.65 a day for personal protection. Never leave home with out it and I have nice groups with it at 50 feet.
For rimfire you can't beat a Ruger Single-Six with both cylinders, 22lr & 22 magnum.
The reasons I like the revolvers over semi autos for target shooting is your not searching allover for the brass, The shooting is slower and gives you more time to shoot and more time to focus on the aim.
I'll be picking up another Ruger 357 Black-Hawk with the 9mm cylinder, I have a SP101 in 9mm. I just want a 9mm revolver with a larger frame. I pick up tons of 9mm brass up where I go shooting, so I might as well have a good gun to shoot the reloads from.
I'm also looking at a Smith & Wesson in 45 acp, another fun shooting gun, but the price is right up there around $800.
It all takes time & money, just one gun at a time & years of collecting.

I have to say though, I still want a 500 Linebaugh. And it just so happens that Gary Reeder has a finished one for sale right now for a good price....

I've had a bunch of different wheel guns ranging from a Western Auto Revelation (re-branded High Standard Double Nine 22LR) up through a few of the S&W X frames (500 and 460 S&W) and just about everything you can imagine in between. There were a few noteworthy guns like the Taurus Tracker Ti 41 Mag, S&W 610 10mm, and the 10" BFR in 45-70 and the Chiappa Rhino 357 mag. The only one I still have is a Super Redhawk in 480 Ruger. I found it while looking for a donor gun to build a 500 Linebaugh and just fell in love with it.High Standard double nine was the first firearm I ever shot, a mere 47 years ago.

Next to 1911's, wheelguns are the most mechanically satisfying handguns I own.

My dad bought a blued version of that back in the early 80's and still has it to this day. He's never really been into handguns all the much so he hasn't had very many but I'd bet if I asked him right now what his favorite handgun is, he'd say his Ruger single six convertible. I used to shoot his quite a bit but I recall you didn't want to forget your ear plugs when you were shooting 22Mags in it because if I recall it had a very loud crack to it.

What a load of cool wheel guns. I like 'em all, but my favorites are the long barrels for hunting. The hammerless are neat, as well.
You've seen Jackelope's single six, which is the same configuration as mine.
Here are a few others. They are nothing special, just plain Jane, stock. But they are mine (the photos are not).
