Thanks bigtubby, congrats on your new find and show us some pics!

I was converted from the GP to the Security Six about 4 years ago. I still have one GP left after trading another for a Security Six. And I might trade off my last GP for another Security Six as well. I really have no use for my GP after purchasing my Security Sixes.

It's always my 4" Security Six that makes it out the door. The GP is a fine revolver, but once you experience the sleekness and awesome balance of the Security Six it's hard to go back.

Here is a side by side comparison...

Real nice pieces... both! Jealous!

Are you looking to replace the rubber with rubber or with OEM wood?

Never been a huge fan of wood, I'd prefer rubber, but am open to any options.

BTW finally got to shoot it yesterday- sweet!

Wood grips are quite pretty, but punishing to shoot. For a shooter you'll want recoil absorbing rubber with grooves.

Congrats!

For $250, pretty much any functioning Security Six is a deal.

I agree 100%

Nice find. I was too young and dumb to appreciate what great guns the six series Rugers were when they were in production, but hind sight is letting me see what gems I missed out on. I'm gonna have to look harder for a six to add to the herd, only problem being they seem to be as rare as hens teeth. I almost never one for sale, the folks that have them seem inclined to hang on to them.

Good luck & good shooting with your six!

I really do like my Security Six, I like the Hornady XTP 158gr HP or FP. I load with Accurate #7and9 and 2400, but if you prefer to not only put a hole in something but also start it on fire 16.5gr of H-110 works well

I had a couple/three of those Ruger "Six" series back in the day. I didn't appreciate just how good they were. The last one, a 4", SS one, my ex claimed as her's when we split up. I tried to buy it from her, but she said "no way." That girl always did know good guns.

If you like rubber grips, it's hard to beat Pachmayr's "Gripper's." There was a set on that one my ex got. I figured back then a SS .357, in an Uncle Mikes Sidekick holster, with Pachmayr grips...wasn't much that was going to hurt that gun bumming around in the woods.

When they stopped making them, I lost interest in Rugers centerfire revolvers.
