Talked to Ruger Customer Service today looking for grip panel dowels for The Security Six. I was told that they have none and the rep didn't know if any later models had them or would match up with the Security Six. I need one blued and one stainless. Any ideas. Thanks

Are you talking about the roll pin at the bottom of the grip frame?
I recall we use 5/32 rollpins from the hardware store, cut 'em down to the proper length,and ALWAYS round off the top, outside edges (yes kinda "roll them...") :wink:
besides, the roll pins can "hide" the small pin that one uses to take down the gun...............

rugerguy, you are brilliant!
When I ordered stainless parts for my Flattop, I also ordered a stainless grip panel locater roll pin.
I haven't installed it yet because I didn't see much advantage for it other than being a little more rust resistant.
I thought about drilling a small hole in each of my grip panels, (somewhat like my old Security Six), to place a pin into, but wasn't sure where it would be out of the way of the hammer strut when cocking.
I was using an allen wrench to capture the strut, but of course, it was not contained in the gun itself.
I have a stainless rear sight pin that I can cut to length, and slide inside the roll pin.
I do believe you are 2 for 2! 8)
I'll get right on it!
Thanks again!

I used a cut off nail for the same purpose and it works fine. But think I will look for some 5/32" roll pins at Ace Hardware and use those instead. Thanks for the suggestion.
