Ruger makes quality guns that with normal use will probably last for the life time of the owner, but in my opinion they do not have the classic looks and value of either Colts or Smith & Wessons. I've been told more than once that I'm just an old curmudgeon.

One afternoon I lost my 5906 in a scuffle with a robbery suspect. By the grace of God, he did not know how to release the safety. I've been retired 13 years and I still like pistols with safeties.

The more you carry a blued gun in a holster, the faster the bluing will wear off, and depreciate the value of it. You may want to find a stainless steel gun to carry. These older guns just keep going up in value.

Beautiful guns!

America is going down hill rapidly. I've been retired 13 years and still miss it, but, when I watch the news, I'm glad I'm retired. It's hard to imagine being a young man or woman today and starting a 30 year career in law enforcement.

Being an old guy, I don't like unnecessary changes in life, so I'll continue to use my S&W 642, or my old Colt Cobra. Both are great guns.

Thank God for his mercy. Romans 10:13.

I could be wrong, but I think the replacement weapon may have the same Ser # as the original gun, and original gun will be destroyed.

These old guns are too nice and to valuable to be holstered. I keep all of my blued guns oiled and in plastic zip lock bags. They are truly an investment and will continue to appreciate in value, unless at some time in the future our government decides to take guns away from law abiding citizens.

These guns are beautiful, and much nicer than anything S&W makes today. Guns like these will never be made again.

Great deal.

Our country is in a downward spiral, both spiritually and morally, and I believe that we are heading towards anarchy. We truly need a Spiritual revival in America.

DUI is not a joking matter. Too many people hurt or killed needlessly.

Now that I'm retired, my favorite is a S&W 642 with two speed loaders.

I would guess around $1,000.

That is a beautiful gun. The grips are original S&W, but gun usually came with the Magna grips as a rule. I would estimate value of this gun about 650 to $750.

According to the ser#, it was manufactured in 1977.

I oil them good and put them in zip lock plastic bags. Works great here in S,C.

They made the Mdl 15 with a 6" barrel between 1986 and 1992. I would estimate a price around $ 600.
