Stupid Ruger Question
« on: February 22, 2010, 06:28:56 PM »
I know this is a going to be a very stupid question, but the guy at the store swore its true.  I have been collecting firearms for going on 30 years now, and I have never heard of this hybrid.  A local gun store has a Ruger Security Six with a Colt Python barrel.  The dealer swore that this was a factory original, joint venture of Ruger and Colt. Is there any chance that this is legit, or is this a waste of a good Python barrel???  I have search all of my reference material and can not find reference to this contraption.

It sounds to me like it's cobbled together.

Hmmmmm..... Seems more of a custom application than any type of standard manufacture. Not criticizing, just thinking that folks with the resources, can customize anything. If I put a Mauser action on Remington barrel, would I have a Mausington? Or a Sig and a Glock leads to a Slock?

Just sayin, ....Factory original? I doubt it....Unless it was a gunsmith's experiment.

I'd put the burden of proof on him.
That's a nice way of saying I would have said "Bullsh-t, Prove it."  ;D

He's full of it!!!!!  Gunsmiths were putting them together years ago.  They were also putting the Python barrel on S&W revos which was one of the reasons S&W went with the full underlug barrel.

FWIW
