Got this today. Speed-Six with hard chrome finish, action/trigger jobs by Bob Cogan, wearing a set of Herrett's Shooting Star grips and includes a set of custom grips by Badger, $125 to order today, and a nice set of original wood grips.

Good looking Speed Six. I think you did very well with the trade. The chrome job is not ostentatious but really makes it look good.

Re: My new to me Speed-Six
Thank you. Your opinion is significant to me. I agree the finish is great looking. I'm thinking of selling the Badger grips. I like the wood much more. Any thoughts on pricing them? Or if there's even any use in trying to sell them? Oh, and where to post them? Thanks again for your appreciated input.

Ebony grips aren't for everyone, but you never knoe unless youi try. I would post them both here and the Rugerforum.com site and see what the response is. You can price them for the full value or less and ask what people think they might be worth on the open market. You could also list them on eBay if you've ever sold anything there. There are a lot of Ruger grips on eBay so people must think it might be worth it to try.
Hope this helps.

Re: My new to me Speed-Six
Beautiful Speed Six! You need a #8 Tyler T-Grip to go with the original grips.
Some people sit on $.05 of knowledge like it is the treasure of Egypt. I will teach anyone $.10 worth just to prove a point...
Re: My new to me Speed-Six
I've heard a few times I need the #8. I've never cared for the look but given the "old school" and 40 years age of this one maybe I'll have to break down and give it a try.
