Like others on the forum, I have found K-frames to be particularly nice revolvers, and I've been fortunate enough to add a couple of 2½" models to my modest collection over the last year or two. However, I've been reluctant to pay almost twice as much for a 3" model, as judging by the recent prices I've seen on GB approaching $1000+—that last ½" has gotten pretty expensive!
I then realized I might like a variation on the theme, a Ruger Six-series. So this is my recently acquired Security Six in 2.75" stainless, perhaps not the level of refinement of a Smith, but a very nicely made revolver with that famous Ruger "built-like-a-tank" quality ("bank vault" comes to mind.) For a little context, I've shown it with my 66-2 and 66-5, as well as a 686+.
Haven't had it to the range yet, so can't comment on how it handles. Trigger is smooth but heavier than the Smiths in both DA and SA, but I understand that can be addressed if desired. Anyway, hope it's ok to share, I know I'm not on the Ruger forum, but I thought I might not be the only one who might like one of these, if you like Smith revolvers.
