The Mark III out shot the Colt in accuracy when I had them both out together after just getting the Mark III. I haven't had the Single Six out with the Colt yet, but think it will also be more accurate. It will be interesting to get them all out together. I have a feeling the Single Six will beat them both.

As for being inexpensive to shoot, that is true when you can find .22 ammo.
C-dub, Does your Single Six have a fully adjustable rear sight? I'm seeing lots of .22 available; even .22 WMR.
It does. My FIL left it to me after he passed. It was made in 1956.
