Evening,
This is my first post, I have not yet owned a vintage Ruger Revolver, only have a modern .38 LCR. I Have been offered a Ruger Security Six .357 Stainless, Rubber Pachymar grips, seller tells me he bought it 20 years ago as a police trade in gun, hasn't shot but a few times with .38 in it it in years no .357. pulled it out of safe yesterday, 3 chambers had black on them, 3 unfired. The cylinder had carbon build up. But the gun was not dirty, Tight endshake and tiny wiggle side to side which might be normal, also says the gun has no scratches. will include the Idaho Leather Holster shown he bought for it. Serial # 158-19xx dates it to 1982. He's asking $600.00 plus shipping cross country. Worth buying in this condition, over a newer still in production and supported gun such as a GP100? Courious as to what these guns go for these days in this condition.
Thank you
