    The wifey and I paid off all credit debt a long time ago. I could/can go to the bank and get/borrow money cheaper. No balance is a good balance. I've had a credit card with the same company for over 35 yrs. Ai one point, I was paying 1.9%. Didn't really hurt to let it ride. These days it's insane. Never thought I'd see it in my lifetime.............

    It came in today! Dripping with oil, tightest lockup I’ve ever seen.

    Very Nice!
    I'm trying to get my Dad to sell me his Ruger Stainless Security 6 4" gun.
    It's too heavy for my mom so he's shopping for something smaller and lighter.
    I'm sure he hasn't fired it in 20 years LOL!
    I'm not sure he's ever fired it at all (it looks unfired).
    He's not a gun guy at all (so why won't he sell it to me ).
    Oh well, I'll inherit it from him some day anyway...

    The Security 6 looks just like this -

    Ahlman's have great gunsmiths on staff. I have been going to them for over 20 years.

    1. Stainless all around. I wanted to learn coating, but that’s less important to me than being able to cut into metal and let it sit for a bit without turning into rust (Floriduh is hoooomid as can be). I could not find a Tisas officer frame in stainless.
    2. I’m going to metal “stipple” the front strap, msh and “memory bump” on the beaver. See #1. Once I do this, I only have to remove any roughness I created. No coating necessary if it sits while I tool with another project that draws me away.
    3. Already has an upswept beaver. Was considering others in this price range, which would have required upswept beaver fitting, but think the other mods I’m making already will be creating enough work for me. I will fit a beaver on another, future project. I’m learning that these things can drag out too long which has me lose interest, or have to take too many breaks due to needing NSAID’s.
    4. Not an alloy frame. I’ve done enough on the alloy frames to know that the stippling I want to do may have me making a quick/irreversible mistake on alloy. The stainless will take a little more push to get the desired results. I feel the slower things go, usually the better end result as you are more in control and things don’t get away from you.
    5. I’ve had a couple of Rock’s. Never had a problem with them. Never shot one a whole bunch, but short of my carry guns, none of them get shot a whole bunch. So hoping this one is as the others were.
    6. It’s relatively cheap. Delivered for less than 5 bills.
    7. Want to eventually put a 4.25” slide on it. Can get a Rock commander slide or whole gun relatively cheap, if not, maybe at that time someone will part with a Tisas Tank Commander slide, a SA Champion slide, etc. I want a real CCO (Concealed Carry Officer), but have to start with this true Officer sized frame.
    Sorry, it’s not in God’s caliber, but plan to crown the barrel, so looking at it you might think so!
    I also plan to make my 1st set of epoxy grips using this one’s frame. The grips are pretty nice that come with it, but like the Springfield Armory 1911’s, too much frame is left showing. I want to make something that starts at the front strap and at least continues to the thumb safety edges and on down, following the frames lines. We shall see!

    I just looked back in this thread and realized this is the same model dao has been fixing up.
    I can live with the fact that he likes you better Colonel. I'd deal with it even better though if I could add his V10 to the stable though

    That is exactly how mine started Bird. As you said, it's the same gun, caliber and all. I'm more than happy with how mine looks now, but I'm sure that before you're done yours will make mine look like it's been neglected.
    I do hope that Tisas will make an all steel Officer size in the future, whether it be black or stainless. At this point I would personally prefer a black one since I'm covered for stainless.

    I've never been a revolver guy, but if I was gonna carry one now, this is about what it would look like. Very nice!

    Nice, I like that barrel length. Mine is in 357.

    The only thing better than having all the guns and ammo you'd ever need would be being able to shoot it all off the back porch.

I never saw a dime of it and wife says we have'nt used a dime of it. Well honey cut loose a little bit. Even if it's to do some needed house fixin up ya know.
    Not to complain mind ya but I could never make her understand that we had a big Credit Card debt. At high interest. Take some money an pay em off. Bank ain't payin hardly any interest and cards are raping us. She wants money in the bank for emergency. That's what the CC's are for. And guns, of course guns.
    Man, I feel your pain. Somebody talk some cents () into her! I guess I got lucky. My wife would never allow CC debt. I use it for gas & groceries and she pays it off before it’s due. When we were 1st. arried, I had some CC debt. She helped me get it paid off and I promised to never return there.
    Oh, occasionally I buy off GB using a credit card, but I must simultaneously put money into our “envelope” in the safe, which is a petty cash system she invented. Once a week I go there and draw my allowance and if there is one, any bonus I’ve earned. It does keep me in line, but also makes it a little fun.
