The Security-Six is the adjustable-sight variant in Ruger’s Six-Series, produced from 1972 to 1988. This example dates to the 1980s and represents the robust, investment-cast construction that defined the line before it was succeeded by the GP100.
Built on a one-piece investment-cast steel frame with a coil mainspring, this revolver emphasizes strength and durability. It uses a six-shot fluted steel cylinder and an exposed hammer, with a smooth-face trigger for consistent double-action and single-action operation.
The sighting system is practical and easy to fine-tune: a ramp front sight with an orange insert paired with a fully adjustable square-notch rear sight. The blued finish is complemented by checkered wood grips featuring Ruger medallions.
Chambered in .357 Magnum with a 4-inch barrel, this Security-Six offers a balanced profile and classic configuration. Ruger’s transfer bar safety adds an extra layer of protection without changing the revolver’s straightforward manual of arms.
