I've got a SS Security Six made in 1984 that I'm thinking about rebuilding. The gun isnt in bad shape just 16 years of wear on it. I need to replace the ejector rod on it. Looks like someone has taken a pair of vise grips to it...
This handgun is a 38 special, should I go ahead and get another cylinder to convert it to a 357 or would it be better value wise to keep it as a 38? This is the only one that I've seen and I would hate to change something that hasnt been produced that much. |

You'd be out less money all together if you fixed the ejector rod and bought a .357 gun, and you'd have another gun. Getting all the work to fit the new cylinder properly will cost more than just buying another gun. Yeah, they are user field-strippable, but there's all sorts of work involved with a new cylinder. I honestly haven't seen any price difference in the .38 and .357. If anything the .357's tend to sell faster, but they don't seem to sell for more. |
