Ruger Security-Six .357 Magnum 4 in Brushed Stainless DA/SA Revolver, Adjustable Sights (1986)
This late-production 1986 Ruger Security-Six stands out with its brushed stainless construction, 4-inch barrel, and adjustable sights. Built on Ruger’s solid one-piece frame with coil-spring lockwork and a transfer-bar safety, it represents the final era of the Security-Six line before the transition to the GP100 platform. The six-shot fluted cylinder, practical sighting system, and durable stainless finish make it a strong example of the series.

What's Included
- Ruger Security-Six .357 Magnum revolver
This Security-Six features a 4-inch stainless barrel with a serrated top rib that helps reduce glare. The pinned ramp front sight with an orange insert pairs with a black, square-notch adjustable rear sight offering windage and elevation adjustments.
Its brushed stainless frame, cylinder, and receiver provide corrosion-resistant durability and a clean, uniform appearance. Wood grip panels with Ruger medallions complete the classic look and secure in-hand feel.
Mechanically, it is a double-action/single-action revolver with an external hammer and Ruger’s transfer-bar safety system. The six-shot fluted cylinder uses a left-side push-button release, and the knurled-tip ejector rod includes a short shroud at the muzzle.
Built in the United States in 1986, this example reflects a late-production Security-Six configuration, known for its solid one-piece frame without sideplates and coil-spring lockwork—hallmarks of the model’s robust design before Ruger introduced the GP100.
