Last week I purchased a LNIB Speed Six w/2.75" barrel length. Searched for sometime before I found one locally at a reasonable price. Today I just had to hit the range with it, high winds gusts to boot! Took along my SP-100 357mag 2.25" & GP100 357mag Wiley Clapp 3" for comparisons. I brought Remington & Federal 125gr JHP & 158gr JHP ammo since that's what I have on hand for CCW. As I thought the 158gr was a hefty but manageable load with the Speed Six. I did find the small grips did allow for the revolver to tilt my grip upwards while rapid firing. My SP101 does the same with heavier loads.
The lighter 125gr. loads I could keep a constant and firm hold on ALSO like my SP101. I believe that's what I'll be carrying once my new OWB holster arrives. And as usual the GP100 handles all the 357mag loads like childs play. No complaints here. Overall I really like this Speed Six. Don't know why I didn't own one 35 + years ago when I had the opportunity. They've stood the test of time and now a desirable acquisition. In the accuracy department I'll have to take a pass this range outing. The winds & gusts were so high my 1/2" stapeled targets wouldn't stay on backers. But I was hitting where I was aiming at 15yds on the backer so I'm ok with that.
