The Police Service-Six configuration pairs a 4-inch steel barrel with fixed sights and a square-butt grip frame, delivering a straightforward, duty-ready layout. It is a double-action/single-action revolver with Ruger’s transfer-bar safety system and an exposed, serrated hammer spur.
Construction is all steel with a blued finish, including a six-shot fluted cylinder. The frame is investment-cast and sideplate-less, a hallmark of Ruger durability from this era. Checkered walnut service stocks with Ruger medallions and a single grip screw complete the classic service profile.
The barrel features a short underlug and a serrated rib. Sighting is simple and robust: a ramped, serrated, pinned front blade paired with a fixed square-notch rear milled into the topstrap.
Factory markings include "RUGER POLICE SERVICE-SIX" with the Ruger eagle on the frame and ".357 MAGNUM CAL." with the Southport, Conn. address on the barrel. The serial number falls in the 151- prefix range, aligning with an approximate 1975 ship year per Ruger’s serial number table.
