You can find out more about the recall here. I've never sent mine back. So few of the guns needed the change that I decided not to send mine. Besides, I was afraid they'd change something I didn't want changed. One thing I hear they did change was the "hammer nose." But I think that's just another name for the firing pin. I haven't decided to shoot the gun or just keep it as a collectable (I have another 6-inch 686 that also hasn't been shot). Living in Maryland, shooting is distant and expensive. I wish I lived somewhere where I could shoot outdoors.You mean stamped with the big company logo? Yes, mine too.
Wasn't aware of any recalls or updates.....how do I tell?
Have you put new springs in her? If you get some Flitz polish from Amazon, you can have her looking very presentable. Some people like to remove the rings around the chambers, while others just clean the guns and leave the powder rings alone. The Flitz will remove the powder rings, though, if you prefer your gun to look purty. You can give your Security-Six a thousand-dry-fire-tune-up by dry-firing it repeatedly. I did it to mine while watching movies. Now it's as slick as if it had a professional trigger job. I rounded the butt on my 4- and 2.75-inch Rugers, but I can always put square butt grips on them. I don't put the round-butt on my 6-incher, though. It's great for the shorter barrels.The Ruger was NIB where it had been in an older fellas dresser drawer forever. His wife didn't even know it was there until they found it while moving her into a home. There was a little soot around two chambers (probably from the factory test fire), but it appeared otherwise unfired. I'm giving her a workout now!
