Is the security six 2 3/4" in stainless steel rare or if not rare uncommon and what would one be worth in excellent condition no box or papers?
Security six ?

Let's just say they're not as common as the 4" version. They do show, fairly often.
Since these great guns are now being discovered by all walks of life, the price is escalating.
A decent shooter should fetch $350. Lots of variables that will make them sell for a little less, or a whole lot more.
WAYNO.

Just out of curiousity, what would make them worth "a whole lot more" than $350 or so?
Bigtubby,
Is it a Type I Low back Frame or a Type II High back frame, what caliber (.38 or .357)
IMHO a mint Type I Frame gun in SS would command a premium. I have
one a shooter and $350.0 - $400.00 would not buy it, if it was "Mint"then
$500.00 would not be out of line. Serial # and pic's would help.

About two months ago, I picked up a square-butt 2.75" Security Six for $275, no box and Pachmayrs. It's not quite a beater, still locks up tight, and will make a dandy trail gun.

I have a 4" SS Security Six that I like so much that I started looking for a 2-3/4" version. After a couple of months of looking, I found and quickly snatched up this 30 year old unfired NIB Security six with all the paperwork. They are nice little revolvers.
Nice Pair!!

Thanks. Glad mine isn't worth "a whole lot more" because I really enjoy shooting it.

No offense intended, my friend, but remarks like this usually make me chuckle a bit.
Oh, I understand the urge to preserve a nice gun, even if it is only mildly collectable. If I owned Colt SAA #1, I wouldn't be out shooting it, believe me.
But I do buy some nice guns, guns that will appreciate in value. And my thinking is, "I can buy this fine gun, enjoy shooting it, take good care of it, and if I eventually sell it I probably won't be able to retire off the proceeds, but I'll recoup cost of owning it and enjoying it."

My sentiments exactly. I just want to make sure I haven't somehow stumbled onto the "mother lode" by accident. No offense taken. I'm glad I made someone laugh today.

While not widely recognized as such, first year of production was 1970. The frame change came about in mid 1974 for blue guns and a bit later for stainless. My earliest blue new frame gun, which is also the earliest reported to RENE, is 150-94446 and shipped June, 1974. The stainless old frame guns generally went up to about 151-08xxx with at least a couple of oddball 6" guns ranging up to at least 151-26549 (my old frame GA-36). I'm not sure if any new frame stainless guns shipped until 1975.

The blued one is a high-back (Type 2), the stainless is a low-back (Type1).
WAYNO.
