Security six score

[Cavman]

Feel like I got a good deal on this. Under 200. Came out of estate sale. Only problem is guy who had owned had had engraved his name on one side, initials on other and under the handgrip. Bought it to shoot and cause was a good deal. I looked up the name engraved and read his obituary. Was a life long competitive shooter, airforce retired veteran and life member of nra. Now kinda feel bad his family just didn't wanna keep it. I'll shoot it and hopefully maybe honor this guy I didn't even know

Should have bought one each of the racket scratchers, one each of all the powerball scams and any of the other state sponsored pipe dreams you could get your skinners on that day!

Nice looking gun.
At under $200 I'd say you did GREAT!

Definitely makes me feel bad that the guy loved guns so much he engraved his name, and his family didn't even wanna keep them

Nice!!

Nice find; bet that gun has some stories to tell.

I try to tell people all the time: your family will remember you and not the stuff you leave behind. Hope this guy left plenty of memories for his family.

My first handgun was security six. Got it at Em-Roes
Should have never let it go

My first carry gun was a security six stainless as well. I stupidly got rid of it. Years later got another one but with 6 inch barrel. Made sure to keep it. Now got this one. Definitely more of a nostalgic collection piece for me

At least it went to someone who will appreciate it, care for it, shoot it properly and regularly, etc.
It's sad about the unappreciative family's lack of appreciation, but respect and appreciation don't always have to come from blood / family!

I have so many books from estate sales which have a personal note to the owner from the author. Even letters and postcards. I like to look up the names/obituaries and see what people did and how they were connected. I say all that to say, it’s pretty surprising what family members will not care for. It makes me a little upset but what makes me feel better about it is that I didn’t know the person, maybe they weren’t the best parent but a good fishing buddy or so. Also ive found that the people who mark their items with their name do it because they are worried about theft (especially from family), not so much marking what means a lot to them. But you never know.

Nevertheless, great score. I’d love to pick one of those up eventually

Started thinking alot about maybe names engraved are just for theft. Especially since he also engrave it under the grips. I will say this he did a very nice job on it where it looked almost factory lol

that’s good. most of the time it looks like they commissioned someone with Parkinson’s or a blind man to do it.

Nice find! Always have my eye out for a 4" Security-Six.

Nice find, Ruger made a ton of these but as many as there are out there the prices are pretty high on these now so you got a great deal!

I had a Security 6 for many years. I always enjoyed it. I don't know why I sold it 12 years ago. I kind of miss it. I sold it back then for more than what you just paid, so you did good.

Well done.

Killer deal on a great gun. I'll bet the previous owner would be glad it went to somebody who will appreciate it and take care of it. We can't take them with us when we go...the best we can hope for is that someone else will get the same amount of joy out of our stuff that we did.

The only bad thing about your post is that it's not my post.
