New Ruger Model: Single Ten

Barry,

It reminds me of the S&W 617 w/10 rounds. Hittman had one for years, which I really liked to shoot. Unfortunately, he didn't listen to me when I told him not to sell it. The nice feature of the 617 was that you could dump all 10 spent cases with one push of the ejector. With the Single ten it's one hole at a time... I'd prefer the 617 myself.

Yeah, me too. I don't mind the slow reloading process so much with the big bullets, but with a .22, it feels like I'm always reloading. Ten rounds might feel a little better.

I always wanted a S&W 17, then later a 617, but never had one. I did own a 17 for a day or two. I bought it at a pawn shop (Dundee, IL) and when I took it to the range, every round fired split it's case. I suspected right away that some genius had reamed the chambers to .22 Mag and that proved to be the case. The shop owner took it back, and I applied that toward an old Ruger 44 semiauto carbine. And that's my sad M17 tale.
