Love for the Ruger Speed Six

[357smallbore]

My favorite every day carry gun is my 1983 Speed Six. Some may claim it is to big/heavy for a daily carry. Some may say it is to archaic. While others may claim it only holds six rounds. I would say that as an every day ccw weapon. For me the Speed Six is about as perfect as it gets.
Fit/feel, the look and build quality and most important the reliability of this gun is superb. I think this is one of the finest guns that Bill Ruger every came out with.

And the last decent looking DA revolver from Ruger.

I think the SP is just a scaled down Six frame with a full lug and stub grip. I’d prefer my .327 with a half lug though.

I wasn’t sure, so thanks for the info.

I have 4" Security 6 and when I reach in the safe for a 357 to take to the range it is the one I grab the most.
