My Speed Six...

ok, lust is a sin... please forgive me, Lord, but that Speed Six is just about the nicest looking one I've seen.

Where did you get the grips? I'm hoping to get a Speed Six soon.. with a little luck (and forgivness for lusting

)

I see a lot of concealed carry and pocket guns (where effectiveness is traded for comfort and concealment) but not many real gunfighting revolvers.

I would go bigger with a 4" big bore N-frame. It could be anything bigger than the .357 that is appropriate to the platform.

hornetguy,

Secret Service Grips by Eagle. They may not make them anymore.

The Security Six on the right, which I had altered to RB configuration, also have Secret Service grips, as does the M66-1 on the left.

Maybe Badger or Ahrends (both make real good grips) will do.

Thanks Deaf... I have never really shopped for grips, so I wasn't sure where all the "good" places were. I'll check 'em out. Looks like I'm going to have a model 64 Smith to fit with some good grips.

Did you say '64'?

And that is how they look on one!

And yep, another Speed Six in .38 Spl. is pictured.
