Quite some time back I asked for opinions on the Security Six. Everything I heard here and elsewhere was favorable, so yesterday I picked up a circa 1974 blued 4". Its not minty or beat just a nice older sixgun that shows a little wear. Double action trigger is pretty rough/stagey but the single action pull feels as nice as my wife's S&W 1917 (well almost as nice.) can't wait till I can free up a little time to go shooting.

PS price was 270 out the door.

I cleaned the gun and oiled it, which smoothed it a bit, I am waiting on a manual from Ruger, so I can tear it down and look over the internals. I am not sure, but I don't think it has been fired much at all, the barrel still has obvious marks from the rifling button. The mainspring on this sucker is HEAVY or I am just spoiled by my Single Actions. I think the next time I take it apart, a coil may fall off the mainspring. It is a little strange, tho, the gun seems to be almost new, mechanically and shows no holster wear, but has a lot of little scratches and dings. Maybe it floated around in someone drawer for years.
