I have a Ruger Single Six 45 Long Colt 5-1/2" barrel. I've tried 3 or 4 different loads through this gun, sights are adjusted all the way over and it's still shootin to the left. What do I do next? any tricks to try?

    I HAVE A RUGER SINGLE SIX AND THE RECIEVER WAS DRILLED CROOKED FOR THE BARREL. SIGHT DOWN THE FRAME AND THE BARREL ON EACH SIDE OR PLACE A STRAIGH-EDGE ON THE FRAME AND CHECK THE ALIGNMENT. YOU MITE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

    IF IT IS DEFECTIVE, RUGER WILL TAKE CARE OF YOUR PROBLEM .GREAT SERVICE IN THE PAST, THEY HAVE A GOOD REPUTATION FOR TAKING CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS.BTW I BELIEVE YOUR RUGER IS A BLACKHAWK RATHER THAN A SINGLE SIX.

    Yep that has to be a Blackhawk. Call Ruger or go to website and they will tell you what to do .

    God gave us all a gift. Have you found yours yet ?

    first thing I would do if you haven't already is have someone else that you know is good with a revolver shoot it , make sure its the gun and not you , if its the gun them one of the sights is on crooked OR the barrel needs turned just a hair in the frame , either one of these needs address by a good gunsmith or sent back to Ruger , note IF you send it in to Ruger expect about a 2 month turn around time

    Thanks for all the help guys, it is a Blackhawk..what was I thinking, it was late. And I'm very confident it's the gun and not me I shoot a lot of different guns and am a pretty fair shot, shot this from a rest, freehand, leaning etc. When I move the sights it does what it is supposed to do but I just don't have enough travel in the sights to compensate for it. Thanks again I'll be talking to Ruger.
