Ruger Super Single-Six

The Ruger Bearcat is a small, lightweight single-action revolver chambered in .22 Long Rifle, introduced by Ruger in 1958. It is a scaled-down version of Ruger's original Single-Six, designed for plinking, small game hunting, and trail use. The Bearcat has a traditional Western-style profile but is built on a compact frame that fits easily in a pocket or pack. It features a non-fluted cylinder, fixed sights, and a distinctive color-cased or blued finish. The Bearcat was Ruger's first attempt at an ultra-compact rimfire revolver and has remained in production for over 60 years.

The Ruger Wrangler is a budget-priced single-action revolver chambered in .22 Long Rifle introduced by Ruger in 2019. It is a more affordable version of the Ruger Single-Six, using a die-cast aluminum alloy frame instead of steel to reduce cost. The Wrangler features a Cerakote finish in multiple colors, a 4.62-inch barrel, and a transfer bar safety system. It is designed for plinking, small game hunting, and introducing new shooters to single-action revolvers. The Wrangler achieved immediate popularity due to its sub-200 dollar price point and Ruger reliability.

The J-Frame series is Smith & Wesson’s line of small-frame revolvers popular for concealed carry and backup duty.
