Re: RUGER Security-Six
I own 3 Ruger revolvers chambered in .357 magnum; stainless Ruger GP100 w/ 6" barrel circa 1996; stainless Ruger SP101 w/ 3" barrel circa 2006; stainless Ruger Security Six w/ 4" barrel circa 1982 (the Sec Six is my latest acquisition & I haven't fired it yet; it has Pachmayr Presentation grips that wrap the entire frame~very hand filling design that looks like a pair of bell bottom jeans)
last year I owned a blued Security Six w/ 4" barrel and a Hogue Monogrip that left the backstrap exposed; it had been 'polished' (probably to remove surface corrosion) and reblued...the bluing was even, but not a durable job...the bluing on the backstrap started thinning out from shooting and cleaning; the timing, action, and trigger were good, but I saw the 6" GP100 and lost interest in the Security Six
my experience is that they are well built, tough, and durable; before switching to Beretta 92's in 9mm, the Pennsylvania State Police used Ruger Security Six revolvers as their duty guns; I am trying to research which variants and the ammo specifications that they used;
BTW: speedloader...HKS Mk 3 is the designated one that works with Security Six
