What’s Included
- Ruger Police Service-Six .357 Magnum revolver with aftermarket wraparound checkered black rubber grips
Built in the United States in 1981, this full-size Police Service-Six represents the fixed-sight variant marketed to law enforcement. Its rugged, one-piece investment-cast steel frame eliminates a sideplate, contributing to the model’s well-known durability.
The revolver is finished in blued steel with a polished frame and a 4 inch barrel. It uses a six-shot fluted cylinder and a swing-out crane for loading and unloading. The knurled ejector-rod head offers positive purchase during ejection.
Operation is double-action/single-action with a smooth-faced trigger and a spurred, checkered hammer for confident cocking. Ruger’s transfer-bar ignition allows safe carry with all six chambers loaded.
Sights are fixed: a ramped, serrated front blade paired with a square-notch channel milled into the topstrap. The aftermarket wraparound checkered black rubber grips provide secure, full-hand coverage.
