I am.
I'm not a big fan of the sights because they ding easily and are made from aluminum. Many Ruger handguns selling on the used market are in great shape, but the sights tend to look a bit beat up.
Also, they're the same whether you're shooting a Security-Six or a Single-Six, the sights look the same and, in fact, are the same. I've put Millet sights on some of my guns, but they're no longer made. At least I can't find them any more.
Years ago I bought two 6-inch commemorative Security-Sixes (FBI Academy). The price was so low I couldn't believe my good fortune. But when they arrived the wood presentation cases were broken. And when I looked inside the guns there was surface rust everywhere! No wonder I got the fabulous price! So I sent them back to Ruger. A few weeks later I got the guns back.
They were like new.
I put Millett sights on them and lighter springs. Then I put them in a safe and they've been there ever since. I'd like to find some sights on my Single-Six but don't know if it's worth the hassle. It shoots great so why mess with them? It's just that even though the guns look different, the sights look the same.
Does that bother you?
The Millett sights on this Security-Six are great. Much better than Ruger's
standard sights, but I don't think Millett sells them anymore.
