Sturm, Ruger & Co. hasalways been a bit of a dichotomy of a gun company. They use the most modern ofmanufacturing methods, that of precision investment casting, much as would ajeweler or dental lab, to provide a near-final-sized raw part which thusrequires a minimum of machining to become a completed arm. While doing sohowever, they have embraced neo-classic aesthetics in their arms; examplesinclude the their Blackhawk single-action revolvers, the M77 bolt action andNo. 1 fallling block sporting rifles and the Gold Label side-by-side shotguns.
In the early 1970s, whenthe double-action revolver was still the preference of most US law enforcementagencies, Ruger did not have a weapon to compete for this market, nor forcivilian home protection users. They rectified this in 1972 with theintroduction of the Security Six and Speed Six revolvers, building both of regularblued, carbon steel as well as their proprietary Terhune stainless steel.Security Sixes were generally .357s and had adjustable rear sights, while SpeedSixes were fixed sight guns that were made primarily in .357, but also in .38S&W Special and 9mm Luger.
Both were so-called“medium-frame” revolvers, in much the same vein as a Smith & WessonK-frame, or the Colt D-frame, exemplified by the Diamondback. However, theRuger engineers took a good look at the competition’s designs and followedanother path to ensure the new gun’s durability.
First, the engineers bulkedup key frame dimensions, including the height of the frame, the thickness ofthe top strap and barrel shank support and the cylinder diameter. They also offsetthe locking bolt notches on the cylinder to provide added strength to thatmost-thin area of each chamber.
They comprehensively lookedat the sometimes fragile and hand fitted lockwork of these designs, and inusual Ruger fashion, over-engineered all the working parts. If one were to do acomparison detail strip of a Smith, Colt and the Ruger, one would see that piecessuch as the cylinder locking bolt, the hand, the size of the double andsingle-action sears on the hammer, one would see that the Ruger pieces arequite a bit larger.
In addition, the Rugerfolks incorporated a transfer bar firing system. While both S&W and Colt usedrebounding hammers to provide a drop safety scheme and S&W had added thesliding hammer block in 1943 to WWII production “Victory Models” andsubsequently carried this change into civilian production post-war, Ruger feltthat the use of a rising ’transfer bar’ of steel interposed betweenthe flat-faced hammer and the frame-mounted firing pin was even safer. Onlywhen the trigger was fully-depressed in a firing stroke would the transfer barrise and allow hammer to strike it and “transfer” that impact to the rear ofthe firing pin, discharging the chambered round.
Ruger arms are also made ofvery good, fully heat treated steels. This means long component life. The frameitself dispensed with the usual side-plate design and the piece is easily“field-stripped” for detail cleaning of the lockwork.
The downside to thisshooter is that the double-action stroke is problematic. Colt’s hand fittingand S&W’s selective-assembly methods meant that revolvers were fitted to thedimensional accuracy of the trigger and hammer pin locations on the frame.While this added to the cost of production, it means that the finished armgenerally needs no trigger action job to make the stroke smooth from front toback.
The Ruger has notableglitches in its DA pull. While I admire the way their engineers over-built therevolver’s internals, and knowing that they were attempting to bulldoze theirway into the marketplace via cost competitiveness by eliminating hand work, inmy opinion the Security Six is a “single-action revolver capable ofdouble-action firing.” Generally, the single-action pull is nothing to writehome about either, usually at least four pounds with some creep, compared tothe 2-3 pound triggers standard on period Colts or Smiths.
However, most shooters werewilling to accept this for the strength and price paid. At its introduction,the Colt Trooper was sold for $161, while the Smith M19 went for $143 and theRuger retailed for $121.
Thirty years on and a good usedSecurity Six can be had in the lower $300 price range. I’ve fitted mine withthe “Reduced” weight spring package from Wolff Springs, yet the DA pull must stillbe at least 14 pounds, with the aforementioned glitches. A prior owner hadtaken the factory walnut “target” stocks and cut finger-grooves into theirfront and reduced their overall girth, making them suitable for smaller hands,but very slippery with the not-inconsiderable recoil of a full-house .357round. I will probably have to fit other stocks affording me a more secure grip,as it squirms beyond my ability to hold it consistently.
Ruger chambers are usuallya bit oversized, easing extraction when dirty, if compromising case lifesomewhat. They are also usually razor-edged at the rear of the cylinder,requiring a light chamfer to ease the use of speedloaders.
However, and this is thereal reason why these guns are a solid buy, they will simply out last any otherDA revolver over thousands of Magnum rounds. (With the exception, of course, ofRuger’s follow-on piece, the GP-100.) If one bought a Security Six, one couldexpect a lifetime of full use and still be able to hand it to one’s childrenwith nary a problem. I once knew of an indoor range that had one as a rentalgun and it digested, by their estimate, some 1,400,000 rounds with no partsbreakages and minimal maintenance. That is the essence of a good deal!

The Ruger Security-Six and its variants, the Service-Six and Speed-Six are a product line of double-actionrevolvers introduced in 1972 and manufactured until 1988 by Sturm, Ruger & Company. These revolvers were marketed to law enforcement duty issue, military, and civilian self-defense markets.[3]Development and history[edit]
As far back as 1966, Ruger designers Harry Sefried and Henry Into began working on the company’s first double-action revolver. Despite being popular with civilians, Bill Ruger wanted to get into law enforcement and security contracts. Smith & Wesson and Colt at the time dominated the medium frame law enforcement double action revolver contracts.[4] The introduction of the Security-Six and its variants marked Sturm Ruger’s first attempt to enter the double-action revolver market. The corporation’s earlier designs had been Colt Peacemaker-style single-action revolvers. Ruger used investment casting for most parts in an effort to hold down production costs.[5] As with all Ruger firearms, the Security-Six revolvers were robustly designed with large, heavy-duty parts for durability and to allow for investment casting.[5][6]
Sefried had previously worked for High Standard Manufacturing Company, where he designed the High Standard Sentinel revolver. The grip profile of the Sentinel was used on the ’Six’ line. Ruger’s new double action revolvers were unlike other guns on the market in that they used a one-piece frame, rather than a removable sideplate, which lent them superior strength. The Ruger Redhawk, introduced in 1980 and also designed by Sefried, was a scaled-up and improved version of the Security-Six. The ’six series’ line enjoyed sales success because of their basic features, solid construction, and competitive pricing.[5]
Various models were issued by US government agencies as diverse as the former Immigration and Naturalization Service, the Postal Service, the Border Patrol, and numerous police agencies. The Security-Six and its derivatives also became the standard issue service weapons of a large number of police departments, in addition many were exported overseas.[3] While Ruger’s Security-Six line has been out of production since 1988, a total of over 1.5 million revolvers were produced and they remain well-liked and respected, as well as highly sought after in the second-hand market.[3][6]
By the early 1980s, it was determined that the Ruger Six line guns were wearing out faster than expected from users that practiced frequently with .357 Magnum ammunition. Ruger commissioned a heavier duty upgrade of the Six line that could handle a ’lifetime diet’ of full-powered magnum loads. Ruger’s answer to this problem was the GP100, which featured a beefier frame and barrel, stronger steels, a redesigned grip frame and, most notably, a triple-locking cylinder to give extra strength to the action. The GP100 quickly replaced the Security-Six in the Ruger product line, but the Six line is still popular with shooters and collectors today.Features[edit]
The Security-Six and its variants were more or less identical in basic design, with minor differences in sights (fixed or adjustable) and frame (round or square butt). Although medium-framed in size, the Security-Six was somewhat stronger than competing guns like the Smith & Wesson Model 19 as the Ruger featured a thicker frame without a sideplate cutout, a stronger barrel shank support that prevented catastrophic barrel failure in the six inch model revolvers, larger, stronger internal parts, and an increased diameter cylinder with offset bolt locking notches. The new revolvers were initially manufactured in a bluedcarbon steel finish; in 1975 stainless steel versions of all models were added to the lineup.[3] Featuring six-roundcylinders, the Security-Six series represented one of the first modern revolver designs to feature a hammer powered by a coil spring utilizing a transfer-bar firing system, and was chambered for a variety of centerfire ammunition cartridges including .38 Special and .357 Magnum, as well as .38 S&W and 9×19mm Parabellum (9mm Luger).[3][6] All Security-Six series revolvers came with original equipment manufacturer (OEM) supplied service-style woodengrips.[3] The wood grips were all manufactured for Ruger by W.F. Lett Manufacturing in New Hampshire, a now-defunct contractor. Most of these wood grips featured a diamond-shaped panel of pressed checkering, though smooth walnut grips with uncheckered panels were shipped with some commemorative models. Oversized walnut target/combat grips were also available as a factory option. During the 1980s, some of the Speed- and Service-Six models were also shipped with rubber Pachmayr grips containing the silver Ruger emblem.
Another feature of the Security-Six was straightforward disassembly, which required no tools with the exception of a flathead screwdriver, coin, or cartridge case rim used to remove the grip screw.
Disassembly of the Security-Six is as follows:1: Make sure the firearm is unloaded.2: Turn out grip screw.3: Remove Grips.4: Compress main spring.5: Insert pin and decompress main spring.6: Remove main spring.7: Remove hammer pin.8: Remove hammer.9: Release and remove trigger assembly.10: Release and remove Cylinder.Security-Six[edit]Ruger Security Six with a 2.75’ barrel (70 mm) and rubber grips.
Introduced in 1972, the Security-Six was the original model of the new series.[7] The majority of these guns were manufactured with adjustable sights, though a few early models were sold with fixed sights. Security-Sixes could be ordered with either service or ’target’ (combat) -style square butt grips. Nearly all Security-Sixes were chambered for the .357 Magnum cartridge, which also permitted the use of the shorter .38 Special cartridge. Ruger also chambered the Security-Six in .38 Special for some police orders by fitting different cylinders that could only accommodate the .38 Special cartridge. Barrel lengths available on the Security-Six included 2.75, 4, and 6 inches.[3][6]
The .357 Magnum, four inch barreled model was standard issue to uniformed officers of the former U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service[8] as well as Patrol Agents of the U.S. Border Patrol until both agencies adopted .40 caliber semi-automatic pistols.[9]Service-Six[edit]
After a few months of production, Ruger renamed the fixed-sight version of the Security-Six the Service-Six or alternatively, the ’Police Service-Six’. This was largely a marketing decision and an attempt to capitalize on the lucrative law enforcement service revolver market. The Service-Six was normally chambered in .357 Magnum, though Ruger also built versions in .38 Special and 9mm Luger (Parabellum) for some police orders.[5] The U.S. Military contracted for the fixed-sight .38 Special variant adding a lanyard ring to the butt and designating it the M108. It was to replace aging Smith & Wesson Model 10 for issuing to air crews and military police.[citation needed] The 9mm variant featured cylinder chambers bored to headspace the cartridge on the case mouth instead of the rim, using a patented spring moon clip to permit extraction of the fired case. These alterations allowed the rimless 9mm cartridge to be used in a revolver design. Barrel length options for the Service-Six included 2.75 and 4 inches.[5] The 9mm was also marketed under the designation M109.Speed-Six[edit]Rare Speed-Six variant in 9mm Parabellum, which uses moon clips to chamber the rimless cartridges
Incorporating fixed sights and a round-butt frame, and available in .357 Magnum, .38 Special, .38 S&W (.38-200), and 9mm Luger, the Speed-Six was intended for use by plainclothes detectives and others desiring a more concealable handgun. The standard barrel lengths available for these models were the same as those for the Service-Six, but also included a 3-inch length in certain law-enforcement contract orders, such as for the U.S. Postal Service (Model GS33-PS). The .357 Magnum, three-inch barreled model was standard issue to Special Agents of the former U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service[8] as well as Patrol Agents of the U.S. Border Patrol working plain clothes assignments until both agencies adopted .40 caliber semi-automatic pistols.[9] The .38 S&W variant (in England known as the .380 British or .38-200) was equipped with a military-style lanyard ring, and was sold to law enforcement organizations in India.[3][6] The .357 Magnum version was standard issue for the Royal Ulster Constabulary, who, unlike most police officers in the United Kingdom, were routinely armed.Operators[edit]
