Could NOT Pass Up a Magnum Speed Six

doc540 · October 7, 2012, 09:57 PM

my first carry piece when I owned a dancehall back in the '80's

ran across a nice one for not much money, so I had to snag it

built like a tank

very well balanced

smooth action and accurate

.357 barks like a big dog

Stainless Speed Six .357 with 2.75" barrel is one of the guns I am always on the lookout to buy.

Great snag!

Congrats on the find ! Buddy of mine had one of those years back. It was a nice gun in a handy sized package. Very good for carry and for shooting.

One of the best DA wheelgun streetfighters ever made, period, end of discussion.

Nice find. One of these was my first snub magnum.

I watched a pretty good Youtube vid last night, so I disassembled it, cleaned it, took a felt pad, Flitz and a Dremel to the sear, lubed it and put it back together.

Best thing?

No parts left over, and it still shoots!
