Low back Security Six

[magnum0710]

Ended at $705 plus actual shipping. Not a bad price at all.

That's what a rare version should go for, maybe a little more. Found a used Security Six snub but it's BEAT and they want $500. I decided to pass. Has slight rust and pitting, I know the snub nose Security Six is kind if rare since most of the snubs were the Speed Six but for as beat as it is I don't think I want to pay $500 for it.
Those new Rossis are getting to be more and more tempting

That was a common Security Six that brought $705, and with wrong grips. Nice box and shipper though.
I'm good that those common variations have increased a bit.

The Security Six snubs seem to bring a premium around here and you just hardly ever see one for sale.

Just found this nice .357 mag. shorty low back loose in the wild at a LGS with period correct Ajax "fake" pearl grips for a very fair price. It's home now!

I found the same exact one recently only it wasn't a low back version. I decided against it because it had pitting and some slight rust and they wanted too much for it. I may just be getting a 3 inch sp101, I'll know forsure in a few days

I just got a set of old Mustangs, just came in the mail today.
Do the Texas grips cover the backstrap?

 

[silverstates&W]

no
e bay item 175645053195
if the grip covers the backstrap on this model it makes it too big to be comfortable.

Sarco had the oversized low # walnut Jay Scott grips 6 months ago or so. I grabbed a set for right at thirty bucks. Good grief, they are OVERSIZE ! I spent a couple hours with a belt sander, dremel drums, sand paper and some tru-oil on those monsters. They now fit my hand a lot like the Herretts.

Finding grips is the hardest part of owning these old workhorses. I can't remember who I got the Norse style reworked grips for the one from but he was in Oklahoma and it was several years ago.
