Wandering Man that sure is a fine looking holster you got for that old beauty.
Here's a 1973 and 4 old Ruger Security-Six that I just got. Had laid for years uncleaned or used. But they are dead on shooter's with .38/.357s.
Here's my new toy. I only have about 200 rounds through it. I got it for something cheap to shoot at the range and for something my 10 year old daughter can shoot while we are at the range, she loves it by the way.
At 10yrs old that is a dream gun ScottyMac. I would have give my eye teeth for one like that at her age. I bought a Ruger Mark I or standard back in 1977 for my kids and taught them to shoot. Now I am using the same gun to teach my grandkids to shoot with. That Mark III Hunter is a real good shooter. Good luck.

Thanks, Baldy. The holster was a christmas present from my wife and kids, many years ago. They stole my gun and snuck it over to a holster maker that used to live in town. He built the holster for me to their specifications. I was totally blown away. Sadly, I don't have much occassion to wear it.

Thanks Baldy. My daughter and I both actually shot a gun for the first time about a year ago. She shot a friends Mark II and I shot another buddies Sig. About 3 months ago I bought a Beretta PX4 .40 and love it. I got my CCW and then got the Ruger at a club I joined. She's been with me all the way and enjoys shooting. I'm divorced and this is a great way to spend time together and teach her some responsibilities. She likes it so much she tells me I'm not allowed to go to the club without her :smt052
Well that makes my day hearing about you and your daughter sharing in a common interest. My exson in law has a PX4 and that is a fine pistole for just about anything you would want to do. I like it real well. Good luck and keep shooting with the daughter.
This gun started out as a three-screw, blue, .357 Magnum:
It has been converted to .44 Special, the frame color case hardened, aluminum ejector rod housing and grip frame replaced with steel parts, and walnut grips from CaryC. The right-side grip has a Tee-nut type of threaded insert so does not show on this side.
Accuracy is superb. The work of reboring was done by Dave Clements, as was the refinishing.
