Security Six Stainless MORE PICS

[got2hav1]

Over the years I have acquired several of these old Rugers and somehow never keep them. I recently won this one and should have it in a few days. Not the best photos but I think it can be cleaned up. I really do like how they look and shoot. Reminds me of the S&W 66 snubbies, but more heavy duty.
I'll post up the cleaned up version when I get it in hand. I know you guys are big fans of these as well.

 

[Zebraranger]

Well thats one nice win. Looks just like one of mine, I have the 2-3/4" with a T grip and a 4" version which is my regular shooter.
And I agree, heavy duty, like little tanks.

 

[got2hav1]

Zebra, I hope mine looks that good in person. Well done. How do you like the grip adapter with the factory stocks? I looked them up already planning to do the same thing. A T8 I believe is the correct one.

"heavy duty, like little tanks."

An excellent description.

 

[sceva]

That is a really nice one.

I love the 2 3/4" sixes; Mine is a Speed Six

 

[got2hav1]

Many years ago my nephew was a deputy in our small NC town. They had some surplus speed six revolvers for sale. Poor as dirt , I didn't have the funds then but always harbored a desire for a speed six. Love the stags and the grip adapter, the perfect look.

I've got a blue Police Service Six .38 w/2 3/4"bbl. and square butt. My favorite Ruger handgun--controllable and still compact. Also has the best factory fixed sights of any stock DA revolver I've found.

I had at one time a S&W Model 10 and 15. The 10 of course had fixed sights and the 15 had adjustable sights. I shot the Model 10 better. So I would have no problem owning a Service Six . I do prefer the SS versions over the blue though !

[got2hav1]

[contender]

I kinda like the Security Sixes.



Same 3 but day out in the field burning powder.

 

[got2hav1]

Hittman, that's a nice pair . The first two are early models also aren't they?

 

[hittman]

Yep …. First 2 are the “low back” models.

I am currently on the hunt for a 6" Stainless Security Six. If anyone has one to part with or knows where one is available, please let me know.

 

[got2hav1]

Missed one a couple of weeks ago. Gentleman in Roxboro NC had a beautiful 6" with yellow box. I made an offer but he wanted more. Next day it was gone. Don't see many around here for sale 4 or 6 variety.

Just got my Security Six in. Tried to look up the serial number on the Ruger site with no results. What year would this be 159-60XXX? Thanks for the help.

Shipped 1983, most likely.

Ruger has kind of hidden the charts, but they’re still on their site.

 

[got2hav1]

Better photos , cleaned up nicely still has a few bumps and bruises but functions great. On my trigger guage I got 10 lbs in DA and 4.5 lbs in SA 8)

 

[got2hav1]

I had a chance to shoot it some today. No issues at all. 148 gr. wadcutters. Shoots nice. Put about 25 rounds through it all in a fist size group. Happy with the purchase.

 

[Mag-force]

Wow! you folks have some nice Security Sixs there

 

[contender]

!59-60xxx would be a 1983 according to the RENE Guide. (It's more accurate than even the factory site sometimes.)

Nice ones there.

 

[got2hav1]

Contender, thanks for verification on the date. I did eventually find it on the Ruger site.

 

[P94/GP100]

Mine with a set of Trausch grips, a Millett Orange Bar front sight, and a new Ruger white outline rear sight, hand-polished with Mother's Mag Polish:

Best, Jon

 

[MinorLV]

Sweet Sixes gentlemen!

I love the Trausch grips…they are hard to find.

My first duty gun was a Security Six 4" Stainless which I bought in 1977. Eventually sold it but always wanted another one. I eventually traded a S&W 645 I picked up in another trade for a 2 /34" one last spring. I traded it to a retired deputy who had polished it and did a trigger job on it. It has a really slick trigger, though I'm not thrilled with the shiny surface but that can be fixed.



I need to get one of those Tyler T grips

Here are my Six series. 4-5 years ago this 1975 vintage 4-inch stainless showed up at a LGS so I asked to look at it simply out of habit without any intention to buy. Upon realizing what an amazing trigger it had, however, I couldn't bring myself to leave the shop without buying it, especially considering the price which was well under 4 bills. I'm not sure what the DA trigger weight is, but the SA breaks at 1lb 12oz! As good or better than ANY of my S&W's even though that's sorta hard for me to accept. :? It came with a hard nylon Hogue Monogrip, and while I personally wouldn't have polished the gun or installed the PolyChokes rail it grew on me and I really enjoy the unique look. The nylon grip had to go, though, and was replaced with this Hogue Hardwoods.
The 1979 snubbie was an Armslist find from a local guy 2 years ago. It is almost mint with only a hint of muzzle wear and included the original grips, a set of Herrett Shooting Stars and cheap, no-name rubbers. After selling the (ugly, IMO) Herretts to someone who wanted them more than I did, my total investment ended up only being $335. Try finding one now at that price!
