I couldn't get through to Ruger, but I'm hoping this is the lightweight version that was made for only a short time around 1958. 12,000 were made. This SN is 2053xx and it is in excellent condition with a little holster wear. I'd appreciate any information that anyone here has regarding this single six. Thanks, Ken URL=http://s578.photobucket.com/user/ken6949/media/dc1b1658-b7b9-4b5c-8550-3a353b815fac_zps92642c59.jpg.html][/URL] Last edited by kend; 03/06/14. �Nothing is so permanent as a temporary government program." -- Milton Friedman

If she ever decides to sell or trade off her serial number A084 first year production Bearcat in almost new condition, we should probably try to get it into your hands somehow to match up with this new revolver of yours. IF you ever decide to trade this aluminum Singe Six off, please give me a holler. LOVE God, LOVE your family, LOVE your country, LIKE guns and sports.
