    I really liked the slab sided I had. That's one I REAAALY regret selling.

    I'm a big fan of my Ruger Single Six Convertible:
    http://www.ruger.com/products/newMod...le/models.html

    Pros for ME:
    1. Adjustable sights
    2. Nice single action trigger
    3. Good sight radius
    4. Multiple calibers .22 S, L, LR, and Mag.
    5. Stainless Steel
    6. Will send just about anything down range. ie. At my range, I can grab rounds out of the squib/dud bucket, load them and it sends them without hesitation. My thought was that if I had to scrounge for ammo, I didn't want a picky gun.

    Con for me (Defensively Speaking):
    1. All of the Single Action Revolver attributes not conducive for defensive use.

    I mentioned in the other thread the 22/45 pistol with optics as the perfect survival pistol. The revolver is another great idea for the reasons stated. The Ruger can be gotten in the Hunter model S-Six in SS as well.

    I have had a number of MK III 22/45's and have bagged more rabbits with them than I can remember. However, I would suggest the standard MK series, not the 22/45. Unless you can find someone manufacturing a metal lower for that gun, I don't think that it would be a wise long term survival gun. Working in local shops I have seen way too many 22/45's come in with a bowed or stressed magwell from someone putting the gun back together improperly. If it is in your budget, see about getting an aftermarket barrel for the Ruger, you can find great quality, accuracy and a much lighter weight by doing this.

    Also, for long term survival, the Ruger makes for a great candidate due to it's simple, inexpensive and (if you are familiar with the gun) easy to replace parts.

    Maybe you should qualify this by saying nobody that is stupid should own one as a long term survival gun. I put mine together correctly every time and it has thousands of rounds through it.
