Speaking specifically of a 4 3/4" Single Six, does anyone have any epxerience with one?
In general, what is your favorite .22 LR revolver for field carry? I like having a .22 for squirrels, and it's the best "learner" gun. I've been meaning to get one for a while, and I want a mid length barrel (6" or shorter) and adjustable sights are a must.

You got 22LR and 22 Mag ammo?
I'll bring my 6.5 Ruger Super Single Six and both cylinters.
They are actually more accurate w/the 22mag.

I had an old single six "3 screw" that I put thousands of rounds through without a hiccup but the old ones didn't have adjustable sights. Had a fiend that had a fancy colt 22 but it had some problems and was not as reliable as the Ruger. I would say its the best 22 revolver on the market but I would not hunt squirrels with one if I was making a squirrel mulligan. It would be all vegtables with no meat I'm afraid. I like the 5.5 inch barrel.

Usually in the convertables the 22mag is a little more accurate is what I have read and held true on the one I had.
Favorite walking around 22 for me is an old model Ruger Bearcat. For hunting my SIG Hammerilli gets the nod.
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true Mainstream news might be fun to watch
