New Security Six

4457 Views 35 Replies 14 Participants Last post by  CA357
I put an unfired blue 6" Security Six on layaway today. It has the red box, plastic bag and manual.

However, since it's my favorite model double action Ruger and I can't afford safe queens, it is going to be carried as my woods gun. I'll load it with Corbon or Buffalo Bore hardcast loads. Sorry, no pics until I can afford to bail it out.

(My favorite single action Ruger is a 6" stainless OM Vaquero in .44 Magnum and I'd get another in a heartbeat if the circumstances were right.)

I won't have it paid for until sometime in January, so pics then. I love the look of the Six series 6" half lug barrels. I really don't think a .357 needs a full lug barrel.
We both know what you should test it on, repeatedly. :D They may still be all groggy in January.

I like the full underlug on my GP100; it gives it the illusion of more strength and more pistol-whippin weight. :D

And they would make lovely rugs for your new home......bear for the bathroom, methinks.
DAM! Wheres that thing been all these years :confused:
I dunno. It's a consignment from a friend of the gun shop owner.
Good choice. I only have had one large bore wheel gun. 6" King Cobra..wish I never sold it.
Congrats! The Security-Six is a fine weapon. I bought one many years ago and still have it. I've never found a wheel-gun that I like better.
Thank you for the kind words gents.

I almost hate the thought of shooting it, but it's not exactly a rare revolver. So...

I've been hanging on to an old Bianchi thumb break basketweave holster for years and it will ride in that.

You lucky duck :eek::D
The one i had 30+ yrs ago is one of the ones i ask myself--"WHY didn't I keep that one" :(
I've got a bunch like that. I worked part time in a gunshop and I actually had money. I went through more guns than I can count. :eek:

I can relate :)
Retired now so had to slow down :eek:
Congrats!

You know I am partial to the Sec Sixes. :D
What is the prefix of the serial number? A 150 prefix is a low back model and rarer but I have one and I still shoot it; if it is 151 prefix and beyond then it is a more modern and more common one.
It's #154...
Yea, you're GTG! Blast away bro.
I'll shoot the heck out of it. :D
