Very nice. I can only spot one blem and that might just be the lighting.

That is one gorgeous hunk of American steel. 
Those grips are excellent.
It's a darn shame Ruger had to print the entire instruction manual on the barrel.

Great revolver fisherman66. I'm on the hunt for a blue 4" Speed six to go with my other two other sixes (SS 2.75" Security and 6" SS Security).

Thanks WNY, but possession is still 9/10th of the law.

ohfff...im in love
I wish they'd make a run of these old revolvers, just for old times sake. My first quality revolver was a stainless Security Six. I love my GP's but this older line has some benefits and I wish we still had the choice. This particular specimen is almost too nice to shoot but who could resist?
Speed-Six: To shoot or not to shoot?
Rastus:
You are right that this specimen of an Speed-Six is almost too nice to shoot. I was intending to shoot this gun when I had bought it-but, I'm having a hard time convincing myself to shoot this NIB Speed-Six! I'm passionate about mint revolvers! Although, I do have a couple of NIB old frame Speed-Sixes that I'm already collecting, it's still going to be a tough decision for me to shoot this nice, new Model Speed-Six?:barf:

Very nice speed six. That's what I need to finish out my collection. I have since put new wood on mine since this picture was taken.

Very nice, like the grips. I found a stainless snubbie a couple of weeks ago.I am really impressed .
Mr.RevolverGuy:
1)Your Service/Security-Sixes are definately, georgeous too!
2)I also have a stainless 2.75" Service Six, Security-Six, and the same in an 2.75" heavy barrel, Speed-Six. I didn't have a blue 2.75" Speed-Six-until now, to add to my collection.
3)Keep looking and you will eventually find another Speed-Six to complete your collection. About two years ago, I attended a small local Gun Show-not expecting to find anything. However, as soon as I walked in the door-I couldn't believe my eyes-as there was an NIB 3" stainless Speed-Six-just waiting for me to snatch it up(And, I did!)! So, don't give up the ship too soon! You could very well get lucky-as I did!

Boa2 I will keep searching. You have ignited the flame again, I had began to get frustrated. I did see a speed six in 9mm a couple of weeks ago but the guy wasn't interested in selling. Well he had it for sale but had a $1000 dollar price tag on it. When I asked how much cold hard cash he would take for it the guy looked at me as if I was an alien and aggressively replied what does the price tag say. I get tired of you guys coming in here trying to rob us always looking for a deal.
I politely replied sorry to have been a bother to you. Little does he know he had a nice pre lock 629 for $575 my friend was getting ready to buy but after that exchange he put it back, and said the hell with this guy and we moved on to the next table. We both were so disgusted that my buddy actually purchased a 629 from another guy for $595 with box and papers.
That just really turned me off and sort of discouraged my chase to complete the stainless trio but after seeing yours it's on again
