SINGLE ACTION REVOLVERS
Single action revolvers are classic American designs. Their solid frame and simplicity lend rugged dependability. They evoke the simpler era of the Old West, are handsome, and point naturally. They handle heavy recoil comfortably, especially in the larger calibers and their long, strong hammer fall helps prevent misfires. Ruger offers more single actions than any other manufacturer. All currently manufactured Ruger single action revolvers feature a transfer bar operating system, a Ruger innovation since 1973. Older-type single actions require an empty chamber kept under the hammer for safety against accidental firings caused by a drop or blow to the hammer.
