Security Six; what good smith can do on it, especially regarding accuracy?

[GooseGestapo]

My experience is that Taurus throats and bores tend to run a tad large.
I had a Taurus PT99 (Beretta M92 clone) that needed a .359” cast bullet.
With such, I’d be called a liar if I said how accurate it was. I only traded it as it wasn’t allowed in NRA PPC “stock production, semi auto” class. Specific make and model has to be listed and approved.
I traded it for a used S&W 5906…
Like any other brand, they have their peculiarities.

No one has suggested a Colt 4" Cobra @36oz? The Cobra is as nice as a Smith and better than a Ruger IMO.

Because the OP wants a light six incher in .357 Magnum. My favorite .357 Magnum would fit the description very well but is not cheap. Those old Korts last virtually forever.

Didn't have a chance to handle and shoot 357 Cobra, just 6" Python Ultimate. Beautiful and very smooth. Friend had two, using them exclusively for DA shooting, 38 Special only. However, they had tendency for leading. I suspect his bullets weren't mach to those revolvers.

As for 4" (asuming King) Cobra and 36 oz , well, I would like 6".

Yeah, that old 5 shoot Korth would be the one to have.

Last week I was with friends on the range, and tried first time S&W M14, side by side with my old S&W M686. M14 handles way better. There is the reason why many shooters prefer M14 as a target revolver.

So, any way I slice it, Security Six fits the bill for me; available as 6", in 357 Magnum, stainless, rugged an durable, reasonable weight (35 oz), still affordable. And as others pointed, regarding the group, it will shoot several times better groups than I ever could.

Not very successful, bit you've got idea:

King Cobra Target 6". With somewhat reduced rib width and height behind front sight, assuming it should be close to 35 oz.

This revolver weighs 35.5 ounces empty,




Yes, it is a chopped Model 1917. If you require a factory model, consider this, 38 ounces, a Model 22-4,




With wood stocks, it should weigh a couple ounces less. The big difference? My revolvers are chambered for the 45 ACP, the 357 HOPES to expand to what my stuff starts out at.
