new gun advice

I want to get a ruger single nine .22 mag revolver or a ruger super blackhawk hunter in .44 mag. Not sure if i want to just have fun or a serious hunting handgun.Of cource i will buy both eventually lol, just not sure which to buy now.
What are your thoughts?

I'm partial to the Super Blackhawks myself. Nothing wrong with 22 mags, but there's just something about the blackhawks.

My vote!

;-)

YES!!!! Get THAT!!!!

There is always the Ruger Single-Six 22 LR / 22 Mag Hunter. Hopefully the picture will come across.

Doc

I agree with Doc that the Single-six hunter is a great choice for anyone to own. If you do not own a hunting class 22LR I would buy one. If you are well stocked with iron sighted and scoped 22s then get the Super Blackhawk Hunter. It is a great gun also. If I could only own 2 guns for hunting, (a terrible thought!) It would probably be these 2.

Getting back to your original question. I am not a fan of 22 magnum handguns. As a hand loader I would choose a small caliber centerfire or a convertible 22LR/Mag. before I bought a dedicated 22 mag revolver.

thanks for the advice all got some thingking and shoping to do lol

I bought a Super Blackhawk Hunter 4 months ago. I wanted that gun for years and never would pony up. It's now my favorite firearm and I wish I hadn't wasted all those years without it.

Buy 1 and get Santa to bring the other (provided you've been a good boy this year of course)

So i decided to get a single six so i could have both .22 lr and .22 mag. Nothing fancy but i am planing on getting new sights and grips from ruger so it should be pretty slick when its all set up . I am planning on getting the super blackhawk hunter in .44 mag a little later hopefully a early christmas gift!

Great choice. Enjoy!

Sounds like a good plan have fun.

Just say'in,, I've never had good luck with one of those .22lr;.22mag. combos. With the .22 mag being a larger diameter than the .22lr, the barrel is the larger bore. Course I've never had a quality revolver in that caliber either. Good luck with yours though!
BTW, I lived three years in MN. Long enough for me. My brother has been there 35 years.

A fine choice. Put the same grips on it as the .44 and you will have a practice gun with the same feel as your hunting setup.
