My favorite carry gun

I absolutely approve of your choice. These short-barreled Security Sixes shoot as well or better than a bunch of guns you wouldn't think they could compete with.
Occasionally, Heliman and I will spend a day at the range, shooting these short-barreled revolvers at fifty yards, and unless you've done it, it's surprising just how accurate these guns can be.
WAYNO. :mrgreen:

If I ever encounter one of those in a gunstore for near $500 I'm snagging it instantly - one of my "must buy" list!
Yours looks very nice!

Very nice!
I got this one a couple years ago for $300 which included 120 rounds of ammo and two sets of grips. It had a broken front sight blade but I ordered one from Numrich for around $7 + shipping and it only took a few minutes to install. It's very accurate and has the nicest trigger of any revolver I have ever owned. It has a few scratches but it shoots great.

Dandy looking handguns there. I may need to shoot mine more.

Since it turned into a picture thread here is the one I gave my Dad for being my best man,
what do those little beauties weigh?
they look gorgeous, but will they pull my pants down?
I have a nice stiff belt, but I'm a little light in the butt and have to adjust my drawers all day long. I would up with a S&W scandium 360 that weighs 13 oz. With 357mag, it will hit your palm like a baseball bat. Carry lots, shoot little.
That single six might really be the ticket.

I would love to carry a Security or Speed Six but they're just too heavy for my liking. Those Six Series are my all time favorite double actions. I use a Tyler T Grip with mine too.
A couple of years ago a local retailer had these .38 Special LCR's with the fiber optic site on a Black Friday special of $299.99! This one has over 1,000 rounds through it now and I've carried it for about 2 years. My son carries one just like it as his BUG too!
Great looking carry guns all of them shown!

I just checked mine and it weighs 2 lb 5.3 oz loaded.
Out of curiosity I weighed my sons 686 2.5" and it is 2 lb 6.8 oz loaded wearing a Hogue wood monogrip.

Wayno, do you know if your Security Six came from the factory with the round butt or did you have it done. I have read that a few were shipped from Ruger with the round butt.

The "story" as I understand it...
Ruger gave the round-butt treatment to a small batch of Security Sixes, but cannot/will not provide substantiation for the guns receiving the treatment. There is an understood serial number range for these said guns, and mine falls within that range. So that's all I can ever know. I do know the rounded grip frame on mine is a perfect fit for any factory Speed Six grip panels.
WAYNO.

I was a Lockheed guard. They issued us stainless steel Speed Six`s with 4" barrel and the rounded butt. Fixed sights, .357 mag. I have had just about every DA revolver ever made pass through my hands. Those "felt" about the best ever in my hand.

I have too much gut and too little arse. I cannot keep pants up without suspenders. I never carry a handgun on my trouser belt. I always carry a gun on a separate gun belt, cinched tight just above my trousers. With suspenders supporting my trousers and trouser belt, the separate gun belt will never slide past the waist band of my trousers. Very effective, and very comfortable for me. The Security Six is in the 35-ounce range. I can also carry much heavier guns the same way without the gun belt sliding south.
WAYNO.
