Security Six 6 inch Blue 1980 Question - Pics added

I picked up that gun's slightly newer twin brother a couple of months ago. If you get on as well with yours as I have with mine, you will love it!

Good for you!

Best double action ever made.

I like mine with a Tyler T Grip but today ordered a set of those grips shown by choirboy. Numrich has them in stock.

I have not shot it yet but I like the way the original grips feel.

I might change my mind after a few rounds tomorrow.

That's a beauty Buckeye Bill! I think you made a wise buy. I couldn't have passed it up at that price. Please post a range report when you get a chance to shoot it.

 

[choirboy]

Wise decision Buckeye Bill.
Hitman let us know how you like those grips.

 

[hittman]

Will do ..... they should be here Monday!

 

[Pistolero]

Buckeye Bill,

That is beauty!

 

[PriseDeFer]

Well, if you're not going to shoot it you could send it to me and I will, and post a range report.

They arrived today from Numrich. Honestly, I thought they were a little rich at $55.00 shipped. But, now that I see them and most importantly FEEL them ..... I may order another set! And, the original grip screw DOES fit!

Obviously haven't shot yet with them but they fit my hands really well.

I put these on my blued 6-inch so you can see what YOUR gun is gonna look like when you pony up for a set. :lol:

 

[Buckeye Bill]

It is only money. Those do look great against the blue steel. Thinking about it.

They look great hitman. It's good they fit your hand as well. They aren't nearly as pricey as a set of Gongolo Alves target grips for a Smith. They make a beautiful gun look even better. Thanks for the pix.

I shot my 6 inch Sec Six with the new grips today. They're the ticket for me on the 6 inch guns. Think I'll leave the 2.75 inch guns as they are with a Tyler T but will buy another pair of these for the 6 inch stainless too.

Can't believe I missed knowing about these all this time!

The factory grips were too small for my hand as well. Here's what I put on this 1979 vintage Sec Six:

I bought a set for my Security Six stainless 6" a while back - they are fantastic, best "target" grips I've handled in a long time. With an FFL discount price drops to $34.00 or $44.00, depending on which one you buy - really not sure of the difference between the two.

If an aftermarket maker were selling these I'd bet they'd be about $75.00 easy. Nice to snag a deal once in a while.

I finally got around to shooting my Six with the semi-target Goncolo Alves grips. I have medium hands and these are excellent. Hittman is right. These are some of the best feeling grips I've ever used. They handle the heavier loads well.
