8. Ruger will even upgrade an older model for free

I bought an older Bearcat model that the grand kids love shooting, when I went to register it with Ruger I found out they have a safety program to add a transfer bar safety to it for free.

I just paid for shipping it to them from an FFL and they totally replaced the action with a new Transfer Bar system and sent it back, along with all the old parts for the cost of shipping plus a discount coupon for Ruger gear.

So even a lot of older Rugers are now safe with 6.

Now, my clone of a Colt Series 1, not so much, with the firing pin on the hammer. But I don't think I'm going to carry an old Colt Peacemaker concealed any time soon.
