Anybody notice the Security Six article in the Jan '25 American Rifleman? These revolvers just wont go away quietly.

Read the article. It was a "good" beginner piece. Nice to see the Ruger "Six" Series Revolvers in print though.Anybody notice the Security Six article in the Jan '25 American Rifleman? These revolvers just wont go away quietly.![]()
I've not noticed any differences. But maybe I've forgotten.Read the article. It was a "good" beginner piece. Nice to see the Ruger "Six" Series Revolvers in print though.
I did notice that the Security-Six illustrated in color is a "high back" and the one depicted in the "Parts Legend" and the "Disassembly Instructions" is a "low back".
Years ago I disassembled a "low back" to clean (first & only time doing so) & encountered difficulty reassembling it. It didn't quite go back together as the "high back" does, which i have done many times. Anybody else encounter this?

I brushed the workings of my revolvers with some fancy Floropolymer or something gun grease about 20 years ago and haven't felt the need since. They don't get shot that often though.I've not noticed any differences. But maybe I've forgotten.
There was a time I field stripped every Ruger revolver every time I shot it. I don't shoot any of my low-backs, and I only regularly shoot just one of my high-backs. And what I've discovered over many years, they don't have to be field stripped very often.

I always thought the Security Six with the GP100 style grip would be ideal. I like my GP, the 5 shot SP .357's never really appealed to me. Don't know about everybody else, but if Ruger would make a Security Six again I'd hop right on one.
