Overview

The Ruger Single-Ten is a handgun chambered in 22 LR, designed with a single-action platform and a 5.5-inch barrel. It offers a standard capacity of 10 rounds, an increase over traditional single-action revolvers that typically hold six rounds, achieved through its cylinder design. Chambered for the widely available 22 LR cartridge, this model is often considered in the context of rimfire shooting activities. The 5.5-inch barrel length falls within a mid-range category for handguns, balancing sight radius and overall handling characteristics. As part of the Single-Ten lineup, this firearm reflects Ruger's approach to combining classic single-action design elements with expanded cylinder capacity.
