The Security Six and the S&W K-frames both had issues with short bullets at high velocity, such as the 125 grain .357 Mag that was so popular in the day. Ruger went to the GP100 and S&W went to the L-frame. Both the Security Six and the K-frame were big losses that were largely avoidable at the time and still, but neither belongs on a "toughest" list.


Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.
