Skeeter was given a 380 Rimmed Speed Six as a thank you by Ruger for "escorting" Bill Ruger Jr on a sales trip to Bolivia. The excuse was that he spoke some Spanish. Sally Skelton wrote that she believed it was mostly to sample the local libations.
I used to own that gun. It was basically NIB and not one of his "shooters". I talked, briefly, about it with Bart Skelton at the NRA Show in Louisville a few years ago and he confirmed that it wasn't anything that Skeeter fancied.
I sold it to another Ruger collector that specializes in DAs.
Neat guns, though.
