I've been shopping around for a Ruger GP100 for some time. My purpose for this gun is a combination of: range use, nightstand and occasional backpacking/camp weapon.
Frustrated by the lack of local GP100 inventory, a friend suggested I look into the previous model line of Ruger Security/Service/Speed Sixes.
So I've come across a tempting deal on a 3" security six. I understand it's a slightly lighter weapon, a bit easier to holster/conceal than a GP100 and may even be a good investment given it's no longer in production.
Trouble is, I've never held a "six", let alone fired it. If it's similar in style/feel as a GP100 I think I'll be content.
Any pros/cons or risks of a 1980s Ruger Security Six for a "first" revolver?
Thanks
