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.

Nice. And that "R" on the grip says its a revolver. Nice. 
What? It doesnt stand for Revolver? Really, really nice.

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

I have revolver envy!

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

Re: New .357 purchase
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.timtheteacher wrote:Took me awhile to find a 3 inch. Bud's re-stocked and I grabbed one. Unlike other stories my transaction was smooth. Time between order and in my hand was 8 days.
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.The Annoyed Man wrote:I've wanted a 3" like that ever since Longtooth showed me his.....and his has tritium sights, front and rear......a lovely gun.

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