I’ve got to stay out of the shops.

[ACORN]

Yesterday my buddy and I hit a local show. A show I never cared for. Too much jewelry, sausage, cheese, hats, shirts etc.
I go to a gun show to see guns, ammo, reloading stuff. But I digress.
We take our first orbit around and one dealer had a bunch of nice desirable revolvers.
Old school, yeah I know. Me too.
I spotted a darn near mint stainless 6” Security Six for a good price ($450 OTD)
no box or papers but no matter. It would have been nice, but.
This dealer said he had bought out an estate of 61 guns and had them priced to move. He sad he’s sold about 25 that morning.
A Colt 1903 for $450, a 2 Gen. Dick Special for ~$475, a Smith 25-2 in the box with the accessories for $895.
My buddy picked up the 2 Smiths.

Holy smokes, you stole that beauty!
Did it come with extra Big Grips? I spy a set of the little service grips on the table, which look nice, but are basically useless on these Rugers, IMO.

 

[Chevelle SS]

Very nice

 

[ACORN]

Yes it came with the big grips.
The service style grips you see are for a low-back Security Six I have sold elsewhere.

 

[Targa]

Outstanding!!

 

[Walkalong]

I couldn't have left that behind either......very nice!

You've done good, real good!

At those prices he wasn't kidding when he said he really wanted to move them!

I would have also been highly tempted with either of the two Colts (depending on what kind of shape they were in) but the Ruger is definitely a solid choice too!

I would need a chiropractor to line my bones back up because my wallet would have been yanked out of my pocket so quickly had I spied those buys! Congratulations to you and your friend on some great deals!

When you get a chance to exercise your new Ruger let us know how it shoots for you.

Stay safe.

I was tempted by the Dick Special.
The 03 Colt was already sold.
I didn’t have the dough to buy the Ruger but my buddy lent it to me.

 

[Shanghai McCoy]

That's not a "buddy", that's a Friend.
Good score on the Ruger too.

In that case I would have gone with the Detective Special!

 

[Spug]

That was a smokin' deal on a great gun in beautiful shape. Thanks for sharing it.

Agreed! The best friend I have on this earth that’s not blood.

 

[Odd Job]

That gun is nice!

 

[RA40]

WOW!!!! Great find for you and those who bought from this dealer!

 

[Mark 40]

Wow, you really scored a beauty in a place you least expected. Good for you. Enjoy!

 

[wcwhitey]

That is a nice Ruger! Well done!

 

[Jonesy814]

Nice job

A good deal for sure that would have been a fair price 10 or 15 years ago.
