In the P-F basket of deplorables.
Dibbs on the sight.

That’s a nice price for that revolver..
For what it’s worth, in the summer of 1980, my dad bought his brand new blue Security-Six 4”* for $175.00 at Freedom Hardware in Freedom CA, just outside Salinas.
According to the BLS CPI inflation calculator, the 2024 equivalent is $647.93.

Are we doing inflation pricing? My first really cool handgun was a new, production overrun NY-1 S&W 64, bead blast and DAO, with lock up tighter than a frog’s asshole. I paid $269 for that thing, and I’m pretty sure an NY-1 in that condition has more than kept up with inflation.

The Speed Six in question has a 156 serial number prefix, making it a 1981 revolver. According to Lex Luthier’s computation, I’m selling this one for $100 less than fair price…lol!
That’s an improvement!
May I ask which product number is that sight? I just tried to go through XS's web page, and I couldn't find it.
If I ever get my Speed Six running again (yeah, ultra rugged and reliable, nothing ever goes wrong with these... So OF COURSE mine breaks), a nicer solution for a visible front sight than just fingernail polish might be in order. (Besides, orange fingernail polish disappears from sight against a tan cardboard target at dusk.)
IDPA SSP classification: Sharpshooter
F.A.S.T. classification: Intermediate
RV-003N-4V It’s labeled for SP101 and J frame pistols, but it’s the height of the Speed Six front ramp sight. It hits spot on, and glows crazy bright.

You decided to keep it then, eh? Good!

It’s priced like a J frame, so I’m going to lose my shirt at this point. Additionally, it’s a great carry revolver.
