Saw a clean clean ruger security six .357

 

List price is $475

 

If I pay cash I may be able to do better on the price. Thoughts?

I would bet you would do better.

It seems a little too high. You are getting into used GP100 territory there.

 

I would say that $375 or $400 would be better.

How about a s&w model 19 .357 for $570? 590?

hmmm.

This looks strikingly similar to the revolver I held the other day.

 

$529?

It's not a great price, but 20 years from now when you are giving that gun to your son, you won't remember that you paid $75 more for it, but your son will remember this classic gun. Is it a little overpriced? I think so? Are you getting ripped off? No.

 

If you like it, buy it. I guarantee it will still be shooting 20 years from now.

When you put it like that, I wish I had bought the Smith 19

 

Definitely a gun you would hand down.

This is a better revolver than a GP100. Ruger stopped making them because it was too expensive to do so. My preference is for a Speed Six, but I think the Security Six might have adjustable sights, which you might want. The Speed Six just fits perfect in my hand. The three Sixes are in between the SP101 and the GP100 in size. The sixes arguably are the most durable double action revolvers ever made.

 

Ruger is no longer servicing the Sixes (Security, Service, Speed). So, keep that in mind. If you need send to Ruger for something, they may offer you a good deal in a new GP100 to replace it.

 

If it is in excellent condition this might be an OK price from a private individual, but if you have to pay the other things it isn't so great, unless it is one of the rare models and/or a 9mm.
