My Dad died a few days before Christmas....he was 93. Many years ago I gave him a Ruger Security Six 357 Mag for Christmas......now this Christmas I got it back. He didn't shoot much, just wanted to have a s.d. weapon in the house. (which was in fact used twice to scare off people who broke into their home ..... no shots were necessary thank goodness)
Anyway here's the gun......talk about when they made real guns.....this one is about as buff as they get. Super accurate too......for me, as good as my Kimber Target II on paper.
The gun was criticized as having an inferior trigger to a typical S&W. Out of the box this was true. Police outfits who used the gun as a duty sidearm learned the trick to make its trigger as smooth as a baby's ...... The trick? Dry fire! Lots of dry fire. This one was dry fired 500 times before I even gave it to him....and has a wonderful trigger. The bonus? Dryfire is good practice and a good way to get to know a Ruger. After a while, when the trigger smooths out, the break becomes crisp and sure ... and with the gun's heavy frame, you have less recoil and less reason to learn the flinch. That's a good recipe for accuracy off hand. One fun gun to shoot. Not my Dad, but plenty of memories come with it .... I'll never sell this one.

My daughter came from Missouri, my son and grand son, my wife and I had a nice dinner of grilled "porter house" pork chops, corn on the cobb, my son, G'son and I share 10/5. G'son is 4 minutes early though @ 10/4.
Pooh I hope you find to right house .
