''if you have the money, just about any thing is possible''
(well, money and a good gun smith)

While anything is possible with a liberal application of money, it may not be the best solution.
For far less than the cost of a barrel and installation, you could sell your 2-3/4" and buy another with a longer barrel.
The gun has been out of production for many years and last I heard, the factory no longer has parts for the Security-Six series.
The 2-3/4" guns are pretty popular so you should have no problem finding a buyer.

KEEP the 2 3/4 and buy a 4 and a 6.

i've got a stainless security six in .357 with a 4 inch barrel so i imagine any decent gunsmith can set you up. but as jhrosier said it has been out of production for quite some time and i've no idea the availablity of barrels

I just bought a 4" for $275 in good shape. It's a 30 year old gun... I don't imagine a new barrel would be cheap.

I have a 4" Security Six I carried when I worked as an armored car guard 20 years ago. Back then, I had it Mag-na-ported to enhance controlability.

Now, I've toyed with the idea of using it for IDPA competition, but the porting renders it non-acceptable. I picked up another barrel on one of the auction sites - Gunbroker.com I think, just haven't gotten around to getting the barrels swapped yet.

Another possible source, of course, is Gun Parts Corporation (the former Numrich Arms).

Understand that neither of these are sources for NEW, just sources for USABLE parts.
