Also, the GP100 has a locking piece between the yoke and frame (instead of between the ejector rod and barrel) and a fixed (non-rotating) ejector rod.

For many people, the differences between the GP100 and the Sixes are blurry well, the differences between the Security Six and the GP100, are as follows: First, the Security Six has a full size grip frame compared to the GP100’s “stub” grip frame. Now, while the GP100 is a great gun I prefer the Security Six.
#Ruger security six series#
In 1988 Ruger broke this author’s heart and discontinued the Six Series guns and replaced them with the GP100. They were offered in a number of calibers including a 9mm Speed Six variant designed to be fired with moonclips and a. The Service and Speed Sixes were both made with 2 3/4″ and 4″ barrels with no 6″ barrel versions produced. It is a rounded butt version of the Service Six and also a fixed sight design. As for the Speed Six, it was designed with concealed carry in mind. The Police-Service Six or simply Service Six is a fixed sight version of the Security Six with a square but frame originally designed with law enforcement in mind, they make excellent carry guns for civilians. Many more of the shorter barrel models were made of the Speed Six and Service Six variants.
357 Magnum Ruger Security Six 151 Prefix Stainless Steel Model Pre-Warning It took quite a while to find one in this condition: They are harder to find in good condition. They were offered for a short time without the warning on the barrel. 357 Magnum Ruger Security Six 151 Prefix Stainless Steel ModelĪ rarer model is the Stainless 2 3/4″ Security Six without the warning message, pictured below. Furthermore, the fluting machined into the loader allows it to clear most grips with greater easy than the competition. An interesting design as they rotate opposite of the commonly found speed loaders so that the rotation of the loader does not push the cylinder closed. They are made of Billet Aluminum and are of high quality. As an aside, the Manufacturing/Engineering and Production Supervisor at 5 star firearms, Clinton Hartford, was the lead designer behind these speed loaders. It is pictured with speed loaders from 5 Star Firearms. My stainless 4″ below wearing the Kingswood grips is a 151 prefix without the ‘low back’ frame but with this warning. Early examples without the warning may be worth more to a collector. And in short order Ruger followed it with a giant warning message right on the barrel. In 1975 they brought out the stainless model. The end result was that the frame did not fit some hands and upon recoil it moved enough in the hand when shooting heavy loads to slow follow up shots, but not as much as you would think.
The 4″ blued model pictured above is a very early 150 prefix model, made in Jan, 19 1972.
#Ruger security six serial number#
The early models had a serial number with a 150 prefix code and below had a “square” butt with a low back on the end of the frame the idea was to control muzzle flip. I know that sounds confusing, well that is because there were two major “frame types” released. It was introduced in 1968, released in 1971, and in production between the years 19. I’ll start a brief history on the Security Six. 357 Magnum Ruger Security Six Early 150 Prefix Model Also, Ruger revolvers tend to be low maintenance and are very easy for a novice to completely disassembly. I even think the Security, Speed, and Service six revolvers’ DA triggers are better than other Ruger models, such as the GP100 and SP101. As compared to a Smith and Wesson I’d say there is a tiny bit of travel in single action with nearly zero pressure behind it and while the single action may not be as crisp as a S&W I like how smooth the double action trigger is compared to the Smith. In this author?s humble opinion it is the best revolver ever offered by Ruger. I figured that I might help you understand my obsession.
