Excellent piece. It will last several life times. I firmly believe that a .357 magnum double action revolver should be part of everyone's TEOTWAWKI collection.

I am envious. That's a classic, right there.

I have revolver envy!
The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager

It's a nice gun from the factory. With the new spring it's a great gun.

I've wanted a 3" like that ever since Longtooth showed me his.....and his has tritium sights, front and rear......a lovely gun. He said his wasn't for sale. :cryin :mrgreen:

But they are hard to find in a 3" barrel.

I hear tell of a newly released 3" GP in .44 Special (five shot). Just to keep it a complicated choice.

Your Speed-Six is a Ruger. It is probably telling some other revolvers, "I need to replace my old human some day."
