    Security Six action parts

    Yeah, I agree. I just pulled out my other two Security Sixes (one that I purchased new back in the day) and those triggers have a little wiggle, as well. I just never noticed. When I look at the photos that I just took of the hammer in question, I see a chamfer that I don't see on the eBay hammers.

    Security Six action parts

    I disassembled the revolver (Youtube can be so helpful.) I think it's the hammer, I'll post some photos. Also, the trigger group is a little gritty and that main pin does have some wiggle in it. Would it be wise or not wise to soak the trigger group in parts cleaner? If not wise, is there...

    HELP! Ruger Blackhawk 0463

    It's really surprising how durable the demand for this firearm has been. What other consumer product has been made for 50 years and still sells out? They really hit the nail on the head with this one. If you don't want to wait, you might have to relax your requirements. I've had a couple of...

    Security Six action parts

    I called Ruger and they were clear, no parts and no service on a Security Six. Their next breath was to encourage me, multiple times, to send it in so they could "take a look". I said, "Now, you'll return it. Right?" To which they said yes, but I'm skeptical. I'm sure they'd rather not have...

    Security Six action parts

    Can someone tell me the names of the parts that are typically polished up when an action job is done? I have a stainless Security Six, in the earlier serial number sequence, that I would like to return to stock condition. Some prior owner did an action job and did too much, the thing wants to...

    Ruger Security-Six 6-inch: In Love Again

    I hike up in the Sierras frequently and carry my six inch stainless Security Six commonly. One snakeshot, two JSP, three hardcast!

    Rising prices of Ruger Police and Service Six why?

    Ruger is exploiting their new-found market position as a leader and really pushing pricing, in my opinion. As the new revolvers go up in price, the value of the used revolvers gets dragged up. I own a bunch of revolvers, including three Security Sixes. If I could have only one, it would be my...

    Talk me out of a New Model Single Six Convertible

    I had an absolutely gorgeous .22 stainless Single Six convertible, but didn't find shooting it that satisfying. I sold it because I felt it was too much gun for the caliber. I love, however, my stainless Blackhawk in .45 Colt. The Blackhawk is actually a better gun for my mission profile, which...

    Do we scare off would be shooters

    Yes, I have taken my concerns to the range master and no they were not handled satisfactorily in my opinion. This is a large outdoor range in a very large regional park. The rifle section of the range has 50 shooting stations with one RO walking up and down both the rifle range and the adjacent...

    Do we scare off would be shooters

    I would like it if some would-be shooters were scared off. I've lost comfort in going to my usual range, an outdoor range that has a very disciplined range master. I've been going there for over 20 years. I'll just tell you what I observe. I've seen one segment of the population that shows up...

    Back in the day, when you bought a gun ...

    I bought a new revolver last month at The Sportsman in Sonora, California. Nursed a beer as I was filling out the paperwork and as I was leaving, flipped me a token for a free beer on another day. Yup, The Sportsman is both a bar and a gun store and has been there since the '40s. Place is for...

    Rossi 92 carbine, mixed use options

    Oh, I've considered replacing the Rossi with one of those Marlin youth .30-30's. If Marlin made one in stainless, I would. This case is tossed around, never opened and improperly stored for climate control, so I don't want a blued firearm in there. So, that's the reason I'm trying to stick with...

    Rossi 92 carbine, mixed use options

    I'm trying to extend the use of my existing kit. My kit consists of a very handy, discreet black zipper case that looks like it has a mini electric keyboard in it. If it wasn't for the brass lock to conform with local law when in the Jeep, you wouldn't know different. Inside is a stainless...

    Rossi 92 carbine, mixed use options

    I'm interested in being able to quasi-accurately place a .357 magnum bullet 200 or 300 yards out from my 16" Rossi 92 carbine. This is my near-distance self-defense rifle that I take camping, but I'm camping more and more in the open desert. I have not kept up on all of the innovation in sights...

    What's the ".357 Magnum" of rifle calibers?

    I'd go with 30-06. All during the ammo scare, no .308 was to be found, but you could buy all of the 30-06 you wanted.

    my stock faded!, little help please

    My Winchester 9422 has sat in the safe for over ten years. When I took it out last week, the stock was very warm, clearly has been sitting too close to a heat source that I keep in there, and faded! See pictures, the forearm is what the stock used to look like. I'd like to do what needs to be...

    Impulse buy: S&W 69 Combat Magnum

    Looks like the perfect trail gun. I'd love to see one in .45 Colt capable of +P loads; .44 mag energy, but lower pressure and less noise.

    Favorite "gun" scene in a movie?

    What is it about revolvers we like so much?

    Revolvers have more esthetic appeal, I suppose there's a little bit of romance in that appeal. I like their lines. At the range, a day with a semi-auto is like a day eating junk food. It just isn't satisfying. In the woods, a revolver doesn't leave brass lying around. I'm an active hiker...
