Have an old model Single Six (three screw model), and I fully agree that the
Ruger is better feeling gun.  Of course, for the price of one it sure as hell
better be.  I also have a couple of Rough Riders and for what it's worth, if
I'm out in the field and need something for taking care of snakes and critters
while I'm mending fences, I'd sure as hell feel a lot better about the Rough
Rider falling into the mud and being run over than I would the Single Six!

Cheers!
