ruger security six 2 3/4 inch

stainless, NIB dates 79 ....is 550.00 a good deal?
thanks

I'd say $550 is Ok, if a little bit strong. Not enough to keep me from picking it up, if I wanted it.

I'm on the fence. I love my Security and my Speed sixes.

I guess if it was in front of me, and I had to make a decision, I probably would. They are so popular now that I can see some one holding out and getting $5-600.00 for them.

That's what I would have to get to EVEN consider parting with mine! And NO, they are not for sale!!!!

As Terry said, a bit strong, I'd offer $500 and see what happens. If it comes with the box and all papers (the shipper would be a big plus also) then $550 probably is not out of the question.

Unfortunately being NIB, that's about what they are going for in my area now, and in some cases even a little more.
They're great revolvers, glad I got my two when I did.

If it comes with the original box and papers, it's still a bit of a strong price. But then you can also add the "pucker" value to it too.

Fair if you want it. They ain't makin' any more of 'em....

Not bad in my opinion especially for nib. Take note of the ss speed six in the classifieds here. Used , no box , asking price of $650 , and it went pretty quick! The 2 3/4" ss guns are the only ones that seem to command a premium like that.

I bought a nib ss 2 3/4" security six about 5 years ago. $450 total for everything and thought myself I was crazy for paying that much. Glad I did it now. The days of cheap security sixes are gone. Everyone balks at the prices , me in lncluded , but find something similar in quality today for that price.

no matter it didnt last long locally

The early bird gets the "Six" series............

The more those of us that know talk of them, the higher the prices go. Like most (I guess) I found one by accident, THEN realized what a great gun they are.

I paid 475.00 for mine n.i.b. Last year and felt I did very well. Buy it you won't come across another for a long while.

I have a pair and I paid $550 for both of them over 3 years ago, and neither is new or with the box. The short barrel security six and speed six bring a premium over the 4 inch or the 6 inch.

If I was buying that would be a bit high. If I were selling that would be my bottom dollar. Just getting to tough to find anymore.

Tough crowd! You guys are so tight I couldn't jackhammer a pin up your azz :mrgreen: I'd give $550 for a NIB with the goodies, if that was the Six I was looking for.

I thought the saying was if you stuck a piece of coal up their arse you'd get diamonds back. :mrgreen: He asked if $550 was a good deal. That it was. I bet they typically sell for $600-$650 in that condition. But I like a good deal as much as anyone.

Key words "if that was the Six I was looking for". That's the pucker value I was referring too.

Stainless stubby NIB, I'd have to jump on that.

I did that, too. However, to get over it I got another GP100 and a Speed Six as a replacement.
