$180 is a good price if it is in nice shape. If it is SS, it is even better. I am looking for a Sevice Six to add to my Security and Speed Six colllection. If I was a nice one for $180, I would part with the cash without a second thought.
The Six Series are nice guns for the money and they are tough as nails but they are not quite as refined as S&W revolvers. They tend to have worse triggers and that lends to them being harder to shoot accuratly but I think the inherent accuracy is close to a S&W.
If you want a reliable, tough and trouble free revovler, the Six Series can't be beat. If you want a smooth and light SA trigger and a gun with accuracy enough to compeat in Bullseye matches, you want a S&W.
It's a blued model, looks like light holster wear, good character for a gun.
Got to rent it and shoot it before putting $$ down. The trigger is better than any of my GP-100s, not quite as good as an old Smith, but about as good as a new Smith.
I like the fact that it's a good bit smaller than the GP-100, and should make a better carry gun.
I've had my Speed-Six for 27 years. The trigger is as good as any of my Smiths including one that had a trigger job at the Performance Center.
IMO $180 is an excellent price for one of the Six series guns. I would pay up to $250 for a stainless steel Speed-Six similar to the one that I own. A blued model is probably worth $30 - $40 less.
I paid $160 for the Speed-Six when I bought it new.
Wondernine asked, "Did they ever make a Speed Six with a 6" barrel?"
Not factory issue, BUT some distributors had special batches of Rugers run, and as I recall, some Police departments ordered some variations on basic Ruger revolvers from time to time.
I vaguely recall some departments specifying the round butt frame, with various barrell lengths, but I'm not a Ruger history specialist.

Who got tired of reading Gun Rags when Handgun Tests went bye-bye.
nothing like the problems that smith had. likely has more to do with the basic design differences and manufacturing techniques...ruger using the more modern ones
