Reagan era Security Six

[ex13F]

Got this from a guy this past weekend. Made in 1985 and is almost like new. I don't know where he finds them and he won't tell me but I snagged this one. Won't bore you with several bad photos as I take terrible pics but thought I would at least show that they are out there.

Very nice
Congrats!

The proper box for it may have an end label that says "BG" for Big Grips, I believe.

Most Security Sixes I see have big grips on them.

I believe it is from when Ruger had them on the clearance page. They must have hundreds of them

That is a really nice gun @ex13F enjoy it.

Funny, in all my years I've only seen 1 or 2 that came with the big wood grips. I know Ruger and maybe Numrich and others sold a LOT of the grips in years back.

I tried those grips and they just don't fit me well but grips are a very personal thing.

I bought a set when Ruger was clearing them out @ $10 a set.
The plainest wood I ever saw. Almost as if they were particle board. No grain, plus the medallions were crooked.
I sold them.
My blued Sec Six has factory Pachs, my stainless Six is exactly like the OP's.
I also have a stainless 4" low back that had grips that were beat to hell but the metal was in excellent shape.
One day I was waiting in the drive through and came across a guy selling 6 sets of Sec Six grips, one of which were for a low back. Take your pick, $20, shipped IIRC.
I was in such a hurry trying to type I'll take them, I kept messing up. Erase, re-type, erase etc.
Finally got it through.
The grips were immaculate other than needing some work on the pin hole.
