Local Gander has a blue 6" Ruger Security Six used. Price at $399 is probably too high but this thing is in what I would call perfect condition.
I was surprised at how...the only word I can come up with is "gracile"...the thing was. Not at all like the GP100 which is a hugh chuck of steel. Not at all like a Model 28 or a Colt Trooper either in terms of bulk.
But it sure is a nice gun. Is the Security Six a good gun? I did a search but I had a hard time finding any wheat in the chaff.
A mom and pop place down the street has a rock solid 6" Colt Trooper from 1976 with box that may or may not have ever been shot. That thing is a real piece of blue steel. They have it on consignment for $650 and that is a deterent...but I want it anyway. But if this Security Six works out, it would probably curb .357 fever for awhile.
Of course I cannot remember the last time I saw a box of .357 rounds but I have a lot of .38+P so at least I could load one.
