Ruger Security Six

[Dregg]

Pick this one up recently. Can anyone chime in and tell me about the grips ? They certainly don't look "factory" to me but, perhaps I'm wrong. No matter, they're staying. I really like these grips and would like to pick up another set or two.

Agreed, they do not look factory. I can't see clearly enough, is there any crest on the upper grip medallion?

Nice revolver ...LPS has a 6 inch Security Six thats about ready to come out..my name is on it...

I have seen the large 'target', smooth, grips on some special comm. editions although none that dark. The smooth grips are far less common.
I'd like to see a photo of the other side of the revolver. I've just noticed, recently, some special versions with unique markings on the right side.

looks like the grips that Sile used to come up with and sold to Ruger back then, seen a VERY FEW over the years, most have been checkered versions,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,yours show the proper medallions and hardware ( screw& escutcheons)

I have a smooth set of wood grips on my 6" 357, but it's a special edition and came that way from Ruger. A little different than yours. I like how those grips are not as wide at the bottom. They look very comfortable.

You scored on a nice Six there. Congrats.

Thanks fellas. I really love these grips....so much that I'd like to find another set or two.

I found this beauty at the LGS for an asking price of $399.

Ruger did put grips of that shape on some special edition models but they weren't that dark and they did have the Ruger emblem. I have two sets of the Ruger ones that I got somehow. I do know that they put them on a FBI commemerative model for the 50th anniversary of the FBI Academy. But again, the were the standard light wood models.

The medallion is in the right place (but I can't really tell what it is) and the screw and escutcheon look like Ruger factory.

$399 for that model is a VERY VERY GOOD price. It's one of the later models by the style of the red ramp front sight.

Makes the grip angle similar to a Bisley Grip...I really like the slight palm swell

Good score. Local shop has a Speed Six Stainless and wants $550. Excellent shape but not as clean as yours.
