Ruger Security Six. Six inch Hand Cannon.

[@Don-kr5tp]

Bill Ruger's favorite gun. Said he couldn't make money on them because of how well they were made. My favorite revolver.

[@bobbowie5334]

Not for the price he sold them at.

A 4” Service Six was one of the first revolvers I purchased back in the late 70’s. Still got it.

[@fbweaver63]

my first handgun was 6" security 6 i bought when i turned 21 back in 1984.

[@hdrvman]

I still have my issued duty 4" Stainless S.S. c.1981 !!! Agreed....top rated!!!

Thanks for reviewing a classic revolver! Ruger replaced the Security Six with the GP100 as they needed to reduce production costs. New kid 'Taurus' was on the rise with significantly lower priced revolvers making S&W, Colt and Ruger 'expensive' (not to mention the popular rise in semiauto pistols). The new manufacturing processes allowed Ruger to produce the GP100 at a lower price point and gain profitability. I'm a huge Ruger fan and happen to own both a 6 in. blued Security Six and a 6 in. SS GP100. The GP100 is a 'tack driver' - I haven't spent a lot of time with the Security Six yet.

I can tell by the sound of the action that it is buttery smooth. Take care and God bless you.

I been wanting a 6” Security six to go along side my 4” and complete my 6” revolver collection. Anyhow that 4” Security Six put 4 out of 6 on a 12” plate at 100 yards. Now I did have to aim at the top of the plate to do it but I thought that was impressive. My load was a powder coated Lyman 358311 on top of a stout charge of H110. I’ll never let that revolver get away from me. Just a really enjoyable revolver that I picked up for a song in comparison to other brands in its category.

Great video as always, like a waterbury watch, are you referring to timex? Just wondering because I'm from waterbury Connecticut.

[@esquad5406]

They made real cheap watches there. When I was a kid they were a buck.

[@davek5027]

I bought a stainless 6” model a few years ago from a buddy for $400. Great pistol.

[@mrrifleman1695]

still have my 2 3/4 sec 6,not 4 sale

[@johnmadow5331]

I brought service six 4" barrel blue used at the local gun show for $110.00 back in 1990. I love it until I blew it up with reload ammo over pressure. I think I can replace cylinder for $30.00 but the factory in South Port exchanged it with GP-100 for $188.00 in 1991 with $5.00 rebate shipped director to me in MA. I collected Security Six both SS and blue new in Box.

[@lessage760]

[@CarolinaRimfire]

I would love to find a six inch one. Blued or stainless, either way. I love my four inch stainless. Part of my permanent collection. Hope your health is improving, George.

[@bobconnor1210]

WHAT Hogue Mono Grip? It’s a real pain finding the right grips to replace the original wood.

[@Brenda-v6c1b]

Thank you !!!!

[@hirambrashier1449]

Always wondered why they discontinued it.

[@ftdefiance1]

I wouldn't want to disassemble a Smith in the field.

[@MrJonathandcrow]
