The Ruger SP101 display did not win 1st place Advanced. The Ruger Speed-Six display won 1st place Advanced The 200th Yr Liberty Speed-Six caliber is 9mm & it's the only one known when it was acquired. The "Speed-Six contracted to IRS" statement is incorrect. It's a NIS (Naval Investigative/Intelligence Services) Speed-Six. Other than that, as always great reading. lmd

The details given,, will benefit collectors of those guns forever. The mistakes in the Nampa ID show could have come from whomever sent Chad the info. Still, thanks for the corrections.
