Hi everyone been lurking for some time and have commented on a coupe of post but this is my first thread so here we go.
My wife and I acquired our gun permits early last year ( I am 44 so I waited long enough) and since have purchase six semi auto polymer pistols. I know plastic guns...but I like them.
Now them I had been eyeing revolvers and been reading on what I would want but what I wanted and the cost well wasn't ready. As with my other guns I wanted a US made by a US owned company. Yep that's me so... I am what I am.
Today while going to the range and looking at the used guns well I caved and purchases a Ruger Secuity Six .357. It has a 6inch barrel and is Stainless. I asked the guys at the store and they said it was the model before the GP100 series. So without knowing anything about it and $300 later it came home. Now while I was looking at it I told my wife that it can't be no older than 15-20 years old. Well I think I was wrong as according to a dating document I found from Ruger it from 1975.
So there it is. I am asking for any information on it. The good and the bad. To me if it is 42 years old it seems to be in great shape and not fired much. I cleaned it and it wasn't that dirty. The trigger is smooth and everything is solid. The single action is really nice and the double action not too bad either. Any info anyone has would be appreciated. I have not fired it yet as I wanted to clean it and go over it before I do.
The pictures show some light surface scratches that you really don't see when looking at it.
