Ruger Security Six Lowback fixed sight?

[neokshooter]

Finally got my Ruger Police Service Six. Very pleased with it. Mechanically it is in excellent shape. The grips are near perfect. The bore is bright and shiny with good lands and grooves. All the chambers are clean and shiny. The action locks up tight and the action is nice and smooth. Finish is good as it retains approximately 95% of the original finish. It does have some little handling marks and a few light scratches. It also needs a little clean up on the bare sides of the hammer and trigger. I found a pretty nice plain black Don Hume thumb break holster that fits it perfectly. I'm tossing around ideas of things I might like to do with this gun. I would appreciate anyone's opinion. I have considered a more durable finish like CeraKote. Maybe some custom grips (of course I'd keep the originals) and maybe a Wolff Spring kit just to make that action and trigger pull a little nicer. I guess I'm Just one of those people that likes to customize and personalize my guns unless there is a collectors value involved. Any thoughts on these modifications?

Good looking gun. It's getting harder to find those Six Series in very good shape, at least cosmetically.

First thing I would do with that revolver is shoot it. Alot. See if you need to change anything.

Then, in order for me, would be
- spring kit.
- grips - a Tyler t-grip would be perfect. This is my 1976 Police Service Six in 38Spl, with a t-grip-

Personally, re-coating it would be at the very bottom of the list. Underneath re-barreling it to a 22-250. As in - it will never happen to my guns.

My feelings are that the gun looks the way it does because of where it's been. I'm fine with that.
If it shoots well, the rest of it is unimportant.

Okay that sounds pretty good. I do intend to shoot it quite a bit. The coating kind of was at the bottom of my list but not completely out of consideration. I'd even considered a high gloss re blue. But nothing is going to happen right away except shooting it of course. Thanks for the input.
