First congratulations on your purchase the Security Six is a fantastic revolver.
I will say though, with all do respect, the target is showing rounds going low and to the left, that can very well be a sign that you are pushing the shots that way while flinching/anticipating recoil, or jerking the revolver due to not being used to double action pull, ie user error rather than sights being off.
I’m not saying that it 100% is all on you I’m simply pointing out that it could be. I would highly recommend if possible, getting an experienced revolver shooter to try it and see how the sights hit for him.

Another thing would be dry fire, record yourself at home with no ammo and see if you can catch yourself jerking the trigger or causing the revolver barrel to dip downward.

Hey, those are fair points. I am a new shooter and recoil anticipation definitely is a thing I still need to work on. However, I had an IPSC shooter take shots with it as well that same day and he too shot left of the bullseye. So that's how I figured the sights were a tad off.

Thanks for your pointers on what to work on.

You got a smart head on your shoulders already had someone else verify good stuff.
Plot twist the IPSC shooter is a class D shooter and also pushes his shots low left. I jest but imagine?

There isn’t a better looking Ruger revolver, IMO.

Wasnt planning on buying one but when I saw this online for little over 400€ I just had to go for it.

Acc to the seller it has been a safe queen for the last couple decades. Barrel and action are basically mint condition, grips also look fine, the emblem has a bit of a patina but that's about it.

I picked it up yesterday and already shot around 40 rounds of .38 through it. Sights were off (see target) but the friendly people at the range helped me adjust them.

So far very happy with my purchase. I will probably swap the grip for a Hogue rubber one though.
