Opinion on Ruger Security Six?

[easyrider604]

A Ruger revolver is like a homely wife who can cook, keep house and raise the kids to be good citizens.

A Smith&Wesson revolver is like a trophy wife who can almost do the same things.

Because my problem is I cannot choose between the two, I have and love both brands. Problem solved.

I have and love both brands also. Crowds the safe though

I have got a 686P in six inch stainless, a Security Six in four inch stainless and a "shooter" Speed Six in four inch stainless. I like both the Rugers and the S&W. All are great revolvers IMHO.

To me the Secuity Six is as good a defense gun as any made -- they ain't purty -- but they work as well as any revolver I have ever owned -- and I have owned a BIG bunch of them -- all brands -- over the years

The first really "nice" gun I ever owned was a Security Six with the 2-3/4" barrel. Loved that gun! I'd love to find another one but blued ones with that barrel are apparently rare as hen's teeth. Not long ago I picked up a really nice 4" but it just didn't move me so it moved on down the line.

I would buy that one.

Absoultely!!
Fine handguns. My grandfather has one and it is a shooter!

Can't say as to price, but as to reliability I've been very satisfied with my 4" blue .357, which I purchased in 1985. At the time, Bill Jordan (who was still alive back then) commented in Guns & Ammo that it's one of the strongest designs ever made. From the massively heavy top strap in these photos, you'll see what I mean.

You need it

You need that gun. Very utilitarian for what you want to use it for. Make a great nightstand job. I had to trade in my model 10 snub and I wish I still had it. Perfect for what it was intended to do.

Good, tough revolvers. I would also buy it at that price.

A virtually indestructible firearm at a very fair price - grab it before someone else does!!

I have two Security Six revolvers; one four inch and one six inch. The Pachmayr grips make a big difference in handling those heavy revolvers as opposed to the original (and slippery) factory grips.
I bought both revolvers used and immediately detail stripped them for thorough cleaning and a good lube job. That's the neat thing about the Rugers; ease of maintenance. Triggers on both are nice and smooth and of course full house magnum loads are a non-event.

Gotta love the "Six" series!

Go to in house:
2 & 3/4" SS Speed Six loaded with Buffalo Bore 158 +P's.
End of the world bag:
4" SS Security Six loaded with the same
and 500 Federal 125 357's.
Strong as a bull and no tools needed to take them apart
except a screwdriver to remove the Pachmayr grips.
GREAT guns!!!
