Bought my 6" stainless-used-in 1976, a set of Bullseye springs to lighten a too heavy trigger pull, Pachmayr grips. Mine has always been very accurate.
Yes, but if you want to be rid of the underlugs, you're going to have to shell out your $$$. I've got enough guns that don't have them that I can just sit back and criticize, but even though both Ruger and S&W have magnums without underlugs, I just don't see them on the shelves of gun dealers. So where are they? I suspect they simply don't stay on the shelves very long before someone snatches them.
As for Security-Sixes themselves, they either tend to be too expensive or look like they've spent some time in a gravel grinder.

I'm glad I bought the guns I wanted before revolver prices got so high. I'll spend my money on overpriced reloading components instead. lolPassed on one for 700 (and a four hour round trip).
That just seems too much for a security six.
Crazy covid pricing. Sp101s are 700 new at lgs, gp100s 750+...
Can't do it.
I feel your pain. I had to start selling in May 2019 to pay medical bills. I still have more than I should but the market isn’t cooperating. People want plastic guns not wood and steel.I LIVE IN FLORIDA
I have several Security-Sixes, but wish I'd bought a few Service-Six 4-inchers. They are beautiful pistols and great for hiking, camping and fishing. Six shots and no extra steel. Very mean, lean fighting machines. I can believe people aren't selling them, and those who are are asking a lot for them. One seller on GunBroker was selling a Security-Six that looked like it had gone through both world wars. It had rust stains all over it, the bluing was 80 percent...gone and it looked like it had been used as a hammer. I did a double take at the starting price and don't know what it finally sold for, if indeed it sold at all. Let's just say it was an...optimistic figure.Service and Security sixes are listing at nearly $1000 here. GPs are at $8-900.
Since this thread is still going, I picked up a 2.5" SS Security 6 about this time last year in a trade. My first on duty gun was a 4" SS 6 back in the 70s so I have some sentimental feelings for them. This one was highly polished, both inside and out. I wished it had a 4" bbl but beggers can't be choosers.

I even found some old Pachmayr grips for it and an old Bianchi holster. Pairs up nicely with my Timberwolf 357 mag pump gun.
