.357 6" Security Six this AM. As described: very light wear. Barely can see the turn-mark on cyl. Grips un-worn, Bore, cyl, throats all good. The FFL shop owner thought it had very low milage; little use. 420.00 landed in my hand.

However, the trigger on DA has a point where you can stop it, and get a nice single action touch-off. There IS also some definite small amount 'crunch-y, in there somewhere, when cycled slowly.

This could be a nice feature, that might smooth up. Or may be of no consequence. HOWEVER, I don't know if it is an indication of some internal Bad Thing. If there is a Security Six article of so, that covers internals, tunes, etc - that would be welcome

On my DA 442/642's, ..etc...my grip and trigger finger and long practice allow me to run the chamber into battery,and then do a similar squeeze off to the one I described on the 'Six'. But, they "do dat" crunchy stuff, either.

Otherwise, I am pleased with gun. However, I may look for after-market sights that 'pickup' better/faster for older eyes.

Now back the shovel and dirt, Taking a break from building a simple shed,. in town. Grew up with sheds...never knew they needed blueprints, approved footers, rot resistant, etc right into a garden-palace, better than some buildings I've lived in. Did I forget the 140.00 building permit? Anyway..good to get some sunshine, sweat and exercise...yeah..that's the ticket.
