New To Me Security Six

[kbm6893]

Stopped in my local shop and saw this. Had it listed for $700, but he gave it to me for $600. $641 out the door. There was a ripped receipt in the box from Hayes Pistolsmithing in Lewisburg, West Virginia. Don't know what work was done but the gun is smooth as silk.

Nice!

Factory grips come with it too?
Can we see pic of the end label?

No factory grips. I was surprised too. Guy took such good care of it. But I hate those skinny wooden Ruger trips anyway.

 

[WAYNO]

Then you won. I personally prefer the skinny factory grips over any others.

Here it is.

If you want factory grips, Ruger offered several.

Nice score at a good price! Box, manual, and yellow thingy too.
I have one similar (6 inch barrel in 357 Mag) but gun only, no extras.
I also have just about every after market grip: Pachmayr Presentation, Ruger checkered target grips, and Sile brand 'gripper' style hard rubber grips, but not the Pachmayr 'gripper' style that you have.
They are all OK, but I think that the 'Gripper' style is best for me.

These work for me

The Gripper is the best grip for me. Wood looks better but I haven’t found a set that lets me shoot as well as the Gripper. I grabbed a set of the Ruger target trips years ago when CDNN was selling them for $10 new, and they look nice, but I still shoot better with the Gripper.

Sweet!! Those are great guns. While in College, there was a LGS very close. I went by there daily to drool over their offerings. I narrowed it down to two; the Security Six and an Astra .357. I hadn’t heard of either one of them and they were priced the same. I think that was the SS’s first year, ’72. I decide on the Ruger; wise choice. Still have it!

Security Six is a great revolver! Enjoy it.

Way more than I paid for mine a few weeks ago but I don't have the box and wish I did.

Mine's blued too but I prefer blued, not a stainless guy myself.
