New Disease Security Six ?

[1gunsnotenough]

Well I think I have caught another uncurable addiction. I am looking a 2 security sixes and need help with value and scarcity. One is a SS 6" barrel marked .38 SPL . Adj sights in box unfired. Yellow box. 2nd one is 6" blued .357 with adj sights possibly unfired. In box. Box is hinged lid red and black box. Both with target grips.

You need RENE.

I have the same illness and don't even care to treat it. I just mask the symptoms by buying every Security, Service and Speed Six I see locally. The ones I paid "too much" for had the economy catch up with them. A $20K CD at local banks might pay you 0.3% if you lock up your money for a few years. Guns are a better investment.

I can't say that either of those are really "rare" or "scarce" but ....... you can't go wrong buying both.

The best gun by far is the 6" stainless steel .38. That is probably one of the C.H.P. guns catalog number GA-86T. There were only 500 total and roughly half were rollmarked with C.H.P. on the frame and the other half were not marked at all. Great gun and will always be recognized as such since Ruger almost never made 6" guns with adj. sights in 38 Special. What hurts is the supply and demand issue which never really set a high price on this one because few people actually collect the Security-Six series. But should be a $100 to $150 premium above a standard 6" Sec. 6 in stainless.
The blue 6" .357 was a standard production item, so there were plenty of those built. You just don't see them very often anymore.
