Our Assessment: This Ruger New Model Single-Six, model KSSM-4FI, is a striking stainless steel single-action revolver chambered in .32 H&R Magnum, with a classic 4 5/8” barrel and simulated ivory grips. Manufactured in July 2000 and shipped to Davidson’s in Prescott, Arizona, this revolver represents a modern take on Ruger’s enduring Single-Six platform with a high-polish finish that contrasts handsomely against the grip panels and black sight system. Though not a common chambering, the .32 H&R Magnum is appreciated for its low recoil, flat trajectory, and excellent small game and target utility—particularly in a revolver of this size and build quality.
The included Ruger letter confirms all the critical factory details, including the shipping date, destination, and configuration. Collectors will value this documentation, especially when combined with the original hard case and condition of the revolver itself. This one presents in excellent cosmetic and mechanical shape, a clear testament to careful handling and limited use. The stainless steel finish is bright and unmarred, and the grips retain sharp edges and strong color without warping or cracking. These Davidson's-exclusive variants aren't particularly common on the secondary market, particularly in such complete condition.
For those seeking a high-gloss stainless Ruger Single-Six with aesthetic punch and niche caliber appeal, this revolver checks all the boxes. Whether you're a shooter looking for a refined rimfire magnum companion, a collector of late 20th-century Rugers, or a fan of distributor exclusives, this example would be difficult to improve upon. With its confirmed provenance and standout appearance, it's both a conversation piece and a practical range revolver.
