New to Me Security Six

[otis24]

Later this week I will be receiving a "new to me" Security Six. Been looking for one reasonably priced for about 10 years. The owner/gunsmith at the store I purchased this from has owned it for the past 20 years. He stated that he has put about 300 rounds of .357 through it. As far as he knows there has never been any .38 Special through it. I was told that the grips are early Bill Rogers grips and that Safariland later bought the design. It was also suggested that he collaborated with Hogue. So, I'm back in the "Ruger Club". Haven't been here for a while!

Any ideas as to the value of the grips?

Very nice. I would like to own one but hankering for Model 28 or the new Henry.

One of the best DA/SA revolvers ever made.

One of my favorite double action revolvers. I have another one on the way.

Love mine. Only have one, but out of my DA 357 revolver it's the smoothest and my favorite.

I actually prefer the fixed sight Police Service Six, but one takes what he can get!

The Sixes are amazing! Took my Speed Six to the range today, been carrying it a lot recently since the weather's cooled off.

I've got two Police Service Six 4" in 38spl and see them often selling cheaper than Speed & Security Sixes. They're like a beefed up Model 10 (38) or Model 13(357) that don't wear out and about half the price of a Model 13. Love the Six Series and have two 3" & one 2 3/4" Speed Sixes, one 2 3/4" Security Six & two Service Six 4" 38spl. Think I've scratched the itch enough now and will spend my $$ on reloading components to keep them fed.

I've been experimenting with carrying my Speed Six 2 3/4" lately and found this Azula much more comfortable than IWB. Conceals with untucked shirt or jacket in cooler weather. I put a factory DAO hammer on it for snag free draw.

I had a 4" blued Service Six years ago, and gave it to a buddy who was an avid bow hunter and didn't have anything to carry as a back up. We are both left handed shooters, so he got a really nice pancake holster with it. I think it's time to find it's replacement...

 

[otis24]

Very nice! How about a picture without the holster?

You can find a good deal on GB if you're patient. Got this one for bid of $305. Swapped the DAO hammer with the DA/SA from the Speed Six, new grip and cleaned up the finish. Thumbnail photo from GB ad.

I like the six series revolvers. I've had about all of them over the years, currently only have this one:
