Seller says little use evident in forcing cone and cylinder throat. Rates it in excellent mechanical condition. Wooden grips un-chipped. Some holster wear. Waiting to consult w/his partner.
It seems a bit pricey as I was thinking more in 450-500 range. Wanted to check if the 'asking' is congruent with other current prices for that model. However, they don't make 'em anymore, and it's part of my 'heritage plans' for the nieces and nephews....
So, unless someone hollers 'scalped', guess I'll spring, The 650 includes shipping and FFL. Twenty on my end to pick it up.
Still trying to pry my Brockman .357 Marlin out of the guy i sold it too, some years ago....he never shot it, but he's an 'accumulator', so the prospects aren't great. It's pretty hard to hurt, so I could live with a carbon steel bbl. if I had too.
Pass.

The Security Six hierarchy seems to be:
Most Desireable - 2 3/4"
Most Common - 4"
Also Ran - 6"
A little patience will turn up another for much less.
6". SS Security Six -- hmmmmmm

If I had to give up all my handguns but one, I would keep my
SS 4" Security Six. Don't shoot it much any more but it isn't going anywhere.

the box. 6" guns don't get the nod from users around here and no box is a big thing for collectors who would want an excellent to fine condition gun with the box. I could likely move it relatively quickly at $375-399. That is, in about 3-4 weeks. Just about everyone is getting handguns for concealed carry or maybe "bear" "hunting". Relatively little in between.

One of those was my first centerfire handgun way back around 87ish. I ended up trading it for a 4" GP100 as I was entering law enforcement at the time. Wish I still had that one, and my first issued duty gun, a 4" stainless Security Six.
Now that we've owned 'everything', so to speak....

perhaps there is an appreciation of rugged Basics. Y'r location nay affect what you choose, but there appears to be some desire for simply built, low maintence, reliable tools.
