Manufactured in 1963, in response to public demand for small caliber, high velocity handguns, only 3300 of these pistols were made. Built on the frame and action of a Ruger flattop single action revolver, with a rotating breechblock in place of the cylinder. Ramped blade front and adjustable notch rear sights, with standard markings, barrel drilled and tapped, and smooth grips with black eagle Ruger medallions.

Near new. Retains nearly all the original finish, with light handling marks overall. Grips are near new. Mechanically excellent.
