Wow, how did I miss this one.
Back in 1979, turned 21. Had to get a NJ permit to purchase pistol. Went to a local gun shop. Showed me a Colt Python. Amazing gun. Over $1K. Then showed me a Dan Wesson with interchangeable barrels. $650. Asked for something less. Ruger SS Security Six. Side arm of NJSP. $350. Bought it. Then researched it and found out it was a great investment. Read Bill Ruger's description on how it was made. I was all set. Had it for 15 years. Loved it. Hunted with it. Then sold it to a woman who needed it more than I. Self-defense. Regretted the sell, and the bought another NIB from same era. Now, keep it forever, until I die. Love shooting it.
