Ruger Speed-Six .357 Magnum 2.75" Stainless Revolver (1980)
Built in 1980, this Ruger Speed-Six pairs the strong investment-cast stainless frame of the Six-Series with a short 2.75" barrel and round-butt profile engineered for discreet carry.

What’s Included
- Ruger Speed-Six .357 Magnum revolver
The GS-32 variant features a solid one-piece frame without a side plate, delivering the trademark Ruger strength that made the Six-Series popular with law enforcement. The transfer-bar safety lets you confidently carry all six chambers loaded, a practical advantage over designs that require an empty chamber under the hammer.
A pinned serrated ramp front sight teams with an integral square-notch rear sight for a snag-free profile—ideal for its intended role as a defensive or plain-clothes sidearm. The smooth DA/SA trigger system gives you the option of rapid double-action fire or precise single-action shots.
The brushed stainless finish resists holster wear and weather, while the checkered walnut grips provide a secure, comfortable hold. Combined with the underlugged 2.75" barrel, the revolver maintains manageable recoil in both .38 Special and full-power .357 Magnum loads.
Serial number prefix 156 confirms 1980 production, placing this revolver early in the Speed-Six timeline and offering collectors a well-preserved example of Ruger’s no-nonsense design philosophy.
