I looked at a decent Security Six 4" today. The only problem was that it was modified(why?) to shoot DAO. The counter guy said someone had filed of one of the sears on the hammer. The fix would be a new trigger. I have Stainless Speed Six that I love and I could use another Ruger. I'm...

I'm taking a course to obtain my full carry ( Unrestricted here in NYS). I'm taking my Speed Six , 4 inch, my favorite woods handgun. Part of the course involves learning to use a speed loader. I need to purchase a hip holster ( I use a Vietnam -issued shoulder holster for it but not...

I have a 4 " SS Speed Six. It's the handgun I shoot/carry the most. I think it has the best lines in the Six family. I would suggest you buy one of each. My next purchase will be a Security Six to keep Speed Six company.

Hi: I'm trying to find the correct speed loader to use with my Stainless Speed Six 4". HKS seems to be a very popular brand. Any information/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks to all that responded to my post. Given the feedback that the load I described seem to work well for a number of respondents, I would say the greatest variable is me.. That just means I need to reload and shoot more. That's great because I love my Ruger. I'll master it eventually. Thanks...

I'm looking for feedback on what 38 spl loads work well in Speed Six, 4", I'm currently using HP-38. 4.0 grains. with a 158 LSWC ( Missouri Bullet Co). I can't seem to get consistent groups. I'm thinking about trying 3.8 grains w/ 158 LRN. Any suggestions/feedback would be greatly appreciated...

I've been using target loads for my 4' Speed Six, HP-38- 4.0 grains,, 158 grain LSWC, but I don't seem to be having much success with them. I'm curious what loads/bullets folks have found success with. Thank you for your time and expertise. Zackary.

I'm interested in suggestions for grips for my Speed Six 4". It is my carry gun for backpacking/hiking and I love it .. the problem is that the standard wooden grips it came with don't feel comfortable to me., they just seem too small for it. Thank you for your time and expertise.

Recently purchased a SS Speed Six, 4" .357. I'm going to begin loading .38 spl to get used to it. I use W 231 , 158 gr. LSWC from Missouri Bullet Co. for .38 spl. target loads in my S&W 10-5 pencil barrel. Any suggesetions on effective taget loads to begin with would be greatly appreciated...

Finally purchased my first Ruger, a Speed Six , dated 1983, from Summit Gun Broker. I'm very pleased. I field-stripped it using download from Ruger website. I'm amazed at how easy it was. Great design. I plan to use it as my woods/hiking carry piece. Chose it over a S&W 65 ( and I own two...

Finally purchased my first Ruger, Stainless Steel Speed Six, 4 ". The thing is built like a tank. Much stronger than a comparable K-frame S&W ( and I own two S&W's, 28-2, 6 " and a !0-5, 4" ) I have a question regarding cleaning it. Sometime in it's life it must have had some type of...

I've decided my next revolver is going to be a 4" Ruger .357 ( Security six/Speed Six, Service Six). I realize the Security Six has the adjustable rear sight. What are the differences between the Service Six and the Speed Six? Thank you for your time and expertise.
