Took my oldest firearm out for a walk today
I've been shooting the heck out of my semi auto's for the last few months, so while visiting my local gun store this week I Picked up a few boxes of .38, .38+P & .357, dug out my pristine 1972 Ruger 4" blued Security Six & off to the range we went.
It's been a while & I almost forgot just how wonderful those old Rugers really are. What a joy shooting that old girl, every round I fired put a bigger & bigger smile on my face. Deadly accurate, nice & smooth, flawless performance & to me anyway, an absolutely beautiful revolver. (Mine's original except for a added Tyler T-Grip)
I have a feeling my semi's are going to get a longer rest than I anticipated.
(List price in 1972 was $86.00!!!, Damn I wish I had a Flux Capacitor equipped DeLorean)

Yep, it sounds like a beauty of a gun. There's something to be said about a gun that is an "old faithful". You take care of her, she'll take care of you.

I like to take my revolvers out from time to time and always enjoy them. The Security, Service and Speed Sixes are great revolvers.

I heart my Security Six. If I could only have one handgun that would be it. Or maybe my .44 Bisley. This is Alaska after all...

I got sucked in by the thread name. I thought of an early Smith. . . but Rugers are great and we all love the vintage models, but then no pics???

Great guns aren't they?
The Gp100 just doesn't feel right in my hand. Too muzzle heavy.
But the Sixes are just right. Now I have 6 Security Sixes.
I am thinking of starting on the speed six model next

Here is my oldest Security Six. According to Ruger, it was made on January 19, 1972:

Very nice, mine was also made in 1972 & looks identical except for the added tyler T-grip. How do I post photo's like you did above?
PS- To everyone hocking me for pictures, mesinge2's six is identical (LOL)
