Very happy with this revolver. First of all buying from Bud’s is great fast shipping and website is easy to navigate and purchase from. The revolver is absolutely beautiful the fit and finish is really nice and most importantly the gun shoots very accurate. The grips are good looking but I’ll probably replace them with something wider although I understand the slimmer gunfighter grips that Ruger uses are better for carrying the revolver. I have bought several other Ruger single action revolvers in the past and never have been disappointed in my purchases. Also the being able to load and shoot 10 rounds are nice.

The Ruger Single-Ten is the best thought out .22LR. single action revolver made in the world. It has 10 shots not 6 like most competitors; It is way over built to center fire cartridge specs which will give generations of service making it heirloom worthy; The stainless steel, fit, feel, function, looks, & balance with the 5.5" barrel is all that I could want and the high visibility of the adjustable rear & front fire sights are quick to line up on. The only bad thing was the price (understandable as quality costs) and a sharp bur at one of the frame screw ports that I flicked off with my thumb nell. The best of everything in one package. Easiest 5 star rating I ever made.

Looks and feels good. I love me SAA derived gun. I have 2 issues that bother me but may be nothing to anyone else. At least you will know prior to buying it where as I didn't. There is no half-cock position to load or unload the gun as basically every other SAA clone/design/derivative has. You just open the loading gate. This is more a semantics issue than anything. No biggie. Secondly, the detents when rotating the cylinder with the loading gate open, to remove the empty cases, do not line up in the correct position to use the ejector rod. This, is very bothersome to me because you have to forcibly hold the cylinder in an awkward position just before hitting the detent to run the ejector rod. If you miss the window and hit a detent, to bad got to go all the way around again for that chamber. It seems like someone just didn't give a FLYING FUDGE in the design process or because its a 10 shot the math just doesn't allow it to happen like every other SAA clone/design/derivative where the detent locates the cylinder in a position to eject the empty with the rod. Either way it gets old really fast. When loading, the detents are ok because they still fall within the loading gate area.

This is an outstanding gun, beautifully machined, accurate. If you can't decide between this and one of the Wranglers, get this. You'll want to shoot it and show it off to everybody the moment you have it in your hands.

This is a great revolver built by Ruger’s best standards. The beauty and build are Perfect and the accuracy is right-on with the included William’s sights. The trigger was a little stiff while breaking-in but after 760 rounds, the trigger got nice. Being a ten shot makes for faster shooting but not nice enough to make me get rid of my two single six’s. I had Bud’s ship the revolver to the Lexington store so I could pick it up there. They made the whole process very simple.

Did I need this gun? No. Did I want this gun? Yes. It is fun to shoot. It has a nice heft that gives me a nice feel in my hand and confidence in my shooting. It is surprisingly accurate out past ten yards. I am a Ruger fan, and this gun has not disappointed me.

The Ruger single ten is a quality single action revolver just like all Ruger firearms. The fit and finish is very good. Its fiber optic sights are easy to see and on target out of the box. Probably the best part is the ten shots from a .22 revolver. This has become my choice when I want to do some plinking or have a pest problem. I have ordered from Bud’s several times and always received great service and hard to beat prices.

5 Stars all the way! That front sight makes targeting quick and easy. Beautiful handgun. An outdoor person should have this gun, shot shells for snakes, LR for small game. Great gun!

Bud's was great, the gun was also great, until is ceased to function after thirty-two rounds of .22 long rifle. The cylinder latch stopped dropping (releasing) upon the cocking of the revolver, this limited the ability to cock the single ten unless the cylinder was removed from the frame. As you know, these things work correctly only when they have the ability to fire. I was disappointed, but I have contacted Ruger service to have them send me the information to return it to the factory for a repair. ON the positive side, the gun's finish and appearance is great. I am sure they will make it right, but this is the first Ruger I have ever had fail to work as designed so soon into it's service life. Looking back, the lack of smoothness in the action felt different, but my assumption was that it just needed to be smoothed out through usage. It'll be fixed, I'm sure.

The stainless-steel construction of the Ruger Single-Ten is not only striking in appearance but solid in feel. The slim gunfighter grips make it easy to hold and a pleasure to shoot. The ten-capacity cylinder is easy to remove and replace, and is positioned for perfect timing, and very little head space. The Single-Ten incorporates the Ruger patented transfer bar, making this firearm safe to carry fully loaded. The ejection rod lines up well with each cylinder click, allowing for fast ejection of empty cartridges.
This firearm is well balanced, and with the 5.5” barrel, the Single-Ten is very accurate. Obtaining and holding a good sight picture is effortless with the adjustable William sights. Each increment of adjustment of the sights has a defined click, which makes it easy to sight in the firearm. (Note review the manual on sight adjustment: adjusting windage is the opposite than that of the Single-Six).
I believe the Ruger Single-Ten is the best built, most accurate, and best looking single-action .22LR available in today’s market.

I recently purchased the Ruger 8100 Single-Ten 10RD 22LR 5.5" from BUDS on a Sunday and had the revolver in my hands on the following Wednesday afternoon. Great gun and really recommend BUDS for their great service and pricing. Also, Point Blank West in Cincinnati for handling the FFL transfer while waving the transfer fees upon my purchase of their discounted Ammunition. This gun will not disappoint and is worth the investment.

The Ruger arrived in what looked to be excellent shape. I did however forget to check the ejector rod function when I picked the gun. After some lubrication and work, the ejector is functional. At the range, it shoots great, nice trigger, and it is a tack driver. The pistol looks even better than the picture and has the feel that it will last. On the nit-picking side, the Ruger box it ships in is pathectic; a plastic shell, no foam, just a plastic bag. This is a $500 pistol.

Great little revolver all around. Ruger makes a very accurate fun little revolver in this one. My wife likes shooting revolvers, but isn't so enthusiastic about hard recoil, so this little gem fits the bill just fine. She has been shooting at 20yds and keeps a 4" grouping most of the time. Since she has learned how to fan it, she has a smile from ear to ear. Buds shipped quickly, and the price was well worth the quality and construction.

Nice gun. Good heavy revolver. Adjustable sights take some work to set but the gun is fun to shoot. If you just want a fun plinking revolver, this is a nice one to have.

What an amazing piece of art this Ruger SA revolver is...a real pleasure to shoot, accurate, very pleased. I bought this simply to plink with at the range. Some times all the hi cap 9's and 45's and the high energy mil spec rifles need to stay at the house and make room for the .22's...lotsa fun!
