I am now the proud owner of a Security-six. I had to pay more for it then I wanted but I owed the seller for other considerations. It is a beautiful gun, has a little paint wear on the rear sight, some very light handling marks but that is it. The bore and cylinder look great. Maybe $500 wasn't too much after all. They are built solid, not the lightweight beauty of a S&W. I picked up some 38 Specials to give it a try, I think I may have some .357's around somewhere. I have a few old Super Vels, but I am not going to shoot those. Thanks for the advice, no buyers remorse here.
