-standard 357/38 special
-A police department version chambered in 38 special
-9mm that did not need moon clips

The Security Six
-357 magnum
-38 special only chamber for police contracts
-9mm

The SPEED Six
-38-200/38s&w for the india order, and i have seen some on
online auction sights claiming to have been marked with the
HONG KONG police department
-357 magnum
-38 special only chamber for police orders
-9mm

The sp-101 came out mide 80's. I remember seeing on many forums that Ruger cut the 38 special +p version chambers long enough to fit 357 magnum cases containing 125 grain or lighter bullets. And that such were safe to fire in off the shelf factory loaded 357 magnum boxes.

Again, a point that most people fail to remember... no two guns are the same.
