ptblank always has awesome pictures of his Six collection
Waveform that a very nice Service Six! That gun will last all of our lifetimes, and then some...... I can't get enough of these guns, and there are all kinds of grip options for them, none of which are "wrong".
This is one of my stainless .38 Special Service Sixes, it's bone stock and I'm leaving it that way. It was a police or security gun, I don't know which but I'm leaving all the scrapes, dings and holster wear as is, mostly because I'm lazy

The action isn't the slickest, it has a little "gag" in the DA pull but not enough to worry about...... I have other Sixes that are much smoother but it shoots straight and does the job. I have no plans to change springs, I have done that in plenty of my other Sixes, so I like to leave some of them alone
This is likely how yours looked when it left the factory, with the "skinny" grips. Many LE and Security guns had the wood grips taken off and replaced with Hogues or Pachmayrs, since they simply were more durable, gave a better grip and anyone who's open holster carried a duty gun knows the grips get beat to heck in a short time,slamming off door frames, railings, ladders, etc. so woods don't have much of a lifespan on a duty gun.

I carried a Glock as a nuke plant security guard and the right side of the grip looked like someone beat it with a small hammer after 3 1/2 years of carrying it every day.
This is one of the "orphans" I picked up, it's a beat up .38 Special Service Six that looks like it was left in a leather holster for years. It had rust all on the inside of the frame, in the action, and there's rust pits all over the gun and even the bore is pitted. It still shoots straight, and I didn't want to waste the money on a buff and reblue on a gun that's so damaged already.........so I recently added a set of Herrett grips I got cheap, a set of Bullseye springs and a Tyler trigger shoe and it actually slicked up pretty nice. I'll post an "after" pic later today

I plan to do a "trigger job lite" on it soon, just take some polishing compound and buff up some parts of the action, nothing crazy. I have so many beat up Sixes that I like to have fun with some of them and turn them into range and target guns.
