She’s back!

It's rare to get back a gun you sold Decades ago, especially in such good condition. Congratulations.

A very cool revolver. I wish my GP100 had that barrel profile.

Congrats on finding it to come back into your collection, Milbocker.

How doggone cool it THAT?!?

I feel your joy. I've been able to reverse a couple-few regretted sales myself and the reward is very sweet.

Todd.

$300 for ANY Security - Six is a good enough deal.

Great price for a gun that is priceless to you.
I too feel your joy.

Cool.

How did you track it down?

I've owned a couple of those in the past, but with 4" barrels. Darn good guns.

Congratulations.

Welcome Home!

I've been lucky enough to get a few back that I'd missed after selling. It's a nice feeling, Congrats.

How cool is that! I wish all the guns I sold would come back home!

I am a big fan of the Security and Speed Six, but please lose those "presentation grips"

Well, some. I'd certainly pay double what I sold my 2 1/2" Python for to get it back! Or the Cobra. The IJ Cadet, not so much.

Sorry, I like those grips a lot! I put them on shortly after purchasing the gun because the originals sucked!

I don't have any particular affinity for those grips but the nostalgic nature of them suits a fairly rare barreled Ruger damn fine.

Todd.

Those grips are not much to look at , but I bet they tighten up your groups.

Your gun, your grips

Congrats on getting back your old friend. They were great revolvers, wish Ruger still produced them.

Like others, I’m not a big fan of the Goodyear’s but I agree that they would make for a much better grip than the factory mess that those came with. Since you got it back for a reasonable price, you might be able to find something of similar profile but more visually appealing. Either way, well done.

I like the grips. Sometimes beauty follows function.

I was not implying wood grips. I take wood off all my revolvers and put Pachs on them. Just different style than the OP.

With a Ruger Security Six or GP100, Pachmayr's presentation grips or Pachmayr's Gripper grips are premium over the original grips that came on the gun. I take the original grips off also. I did on my SP101 also. I have pachmayr's on it also. They are hard plastic instead of rubber. Still much better then the original Lett grips.

Cool! I’m glad your old friend is back in the fold. There is only one gun I really would love to find, but that Savage 99F .308 Win is long gone to a buyer unknown .

Stay safe.
