I don't post all that often by check this site almost daily.
I previously posted about a Security Six that my gunsmith rescued after it was butchered by a well known national "pistol smith". If what he did to my gun is typical of his work he should stick to water pistols going forward. Anyway, my smith not only salvaged the gun, he transformed it into a family heirloom.
I was so happy with his work, I gave him a recently acquired stainless 6" Security Six and asked him to rework the gun along the same lines. As I intend to use this gun for hog and deer hunting I wanted the barrel only reduced about an inch. I have a S&W Model 27 with a 5 inch barrel and I find this length to be ideal for all around use.
Attached is a link to my smith's blog post describing the work to the stainless Six. It is even better looking "in person": http://vicknairgunsmithing.blogspot.com/2017/06/another-modern-revolver.html
For those of you who missed my original post, attached is a link to the Ruger described in the 1st full paragraph above: http://vicknairgunsmithing.blogspot.com/2017/01/now-for-something-completely-different.html
Best,
