Pa State Police Sec. Six

[Acorn]

I saw a possible PSP Security Six yesterday. 4" stainless with what I think was the orange insert.
AFAIK the orange insert is unique to PSP Security Sixes.
Looked to be excellent shape, albeit a couple rub marks a gray Scotchbrite will fix.
I'm not too concerned whether it was a PSP gun, just whether someone futzed with it.
Asking $499 not outrageous but I'm thinking $400-$450.
Opinions?

I'd pay $500 for that in a heartbeat.
No brainer.

 

[eveled]

Yep. I would too.

 

[rugerguy]

agree with the above, he is spot on..."no brainer".....

 

[Acorn]

Dang, you guys are going to cost me money.

 

[hittman]

Is it department marked?
I'm guessing not, just that the site insert is a dead give away?

 

[T.A. WORKMAN]

If you had the serial # we could delve a little deeper for you.
As said above, good price!

My buddy is retired from PSP. He is the one that told me what it was. As far as he remembers they weren't marked as PSP.

 

[hittman]

Let us know how it shoots!

I read somewhere that the orange insert was exclusive to the PSP guns. No idea if that is true or not.
I never understood why Ruger chose the red color they did for the inserts.
It certainly isn't bright.

It's good price whether it's a PSP or not(probably is). For $10 you could get it a Ruger "letter" confirming it. I mailed my letter request for a nycpd Speed Six the same day I sent the seller the payment & I received my letter before the gun arrived.

Fair price and a good revolver

 

[Bear Paw Jack]

As everyone is already aware, condition is everything, a very clean one could easily go for $600 in many areas.

 

[Timbo23]

Yes, I think that's a fair price.
I have a few nosey questions though. Is it a 38 Spl or 357 Mag? Standard or heavy barrel? Full rounded or scalloped recoil shield? Accumulators want to know.
