Question for Ruger revolver experts about a Ruger Single Six 9.5"

Nutty4Guns · Oct 15, 2011

I just picked this up and was wondering if someone could tell me more about it. I have already determined from the serial number that it was probably built in '85 or '86. It has fully adjustable target sights. It is blued but with a stainless grip frame/trigger guard. Was this a pretty standard model, or is it rare in any way?

Grip frame swaps are common on the SA Rugers. The loooong barrel is uncommon. Cool revolver.

Are you sure the grip frame is stainless? They were always made of aluminum and it's not uncommon to see one that's had the frame stripped. Also, I believe that Ruger made some that way.
Sorry, I'm no expert, but there are Ruger forums out there where you should be able to find someone who is!
