·Bill,
The big question is have you shot it. I have never been given the chance, nor seen it done. So if you have had a chance, please share you thoughts on this wildest of all SA style guns. There is simply nothing else like them....
Some day I'll perhaps get a chance....

Ah, the hard-to-find Hawkeye!
Nice example, Bill.
In my own perverted way, I view that model as Ruger's '.22 Magnum JET!
Both were pretty esoteric for production guns...In overall rarity, the Hawkeye wins.
Thanks for another interesting post. :ymapplause:

yep, again, awesome picture, thank you Doc....yessir ,like the S&W's, these 'odd' cartridges caused MORE problems for both S&W and Ruger, then they were worth, oil in the chambers, not being able to get them "open", extracting, and on and on, but they are "neat".....we like that .256 Win shell and many years back in our shop we chambered a Dan Wesson revolver for it and got it written up in the American Handgunner, yes, we got it to work, got it revolve and got it to extract.BUT what a pain in the 'butt'............... ~x(

Howdy all. I have been shooting a Hawkeye since 1968, and have never had problems with the cartridge sticking or jamming the pistol. Excellent round for varmints, it just did not catch on. Shooting it from a closed breech made it an excellent shooter, unlike the .22 Jet. Being a single shot did not seem to be a factor since the Contender caught on so well, of course it was much more versatile than the Ruger. My opinion only of course, Hank.

Sorry you missed it, but the battle rifle is probably much more practical right now. I am bringing a Hawkeye to Slidell near New Orleans to sell or trade this weekend, same thing in mind and I have three of them right now, so will make do with two. Take care, Hank.

Right you are Hank.... My thinking exactly.... if Holder / Emanuel / Obama get their way all we may be left to us are single shots.
