Ruger revolvers wich one's for you ?

[gmh1013]

Security Six was the best Ruger ever produced in a 4 inch but now a 3 inch SP 101
for current models.....my problem with Ruger is most models are just fugly to look at

I only have one wheelgun and it's a 4 5/8 Ruger Blackhawk .357/9mm convertible. If I could only have one I guess that one works for me.

I would really like to give an SP101 a spin though.

10. SECURITY SIX

SRH- The hand cannon.

I love a lot of you people because I can show my wife some of the collections and it makes me seem much more sane

I obviously like the SP101 in 3" .357 Magnum best because that is what I bought.

This is like Sophie's Choice for crying out loud!!!

Only one?

 

[Guy de Loimbard]

They're Rugers, you can't have just one!! I have a Blackhawk in .45 and a Security Six in .357. I like them both, and for the same reasons. I can load light powderpuff loads to uber magnum bear killing loads (well, maybe not so much in the .357 - but still, plenty stout) and I can carry them both given an appropriate holster. Why would you handicap yourself by only having one? I think that your question should be, "In what order would you buy these?"

 

[hmphargh]

I'd go Security Six as my first choice, and SP101 for current production.

I checked the LCR but it would have helped to know what the weapon was to be used for, SD, target or whatever. I could never justify buying a SUPER RED HAWK .44 for anything other than having it as a conversation piece.

Tough choice,I have 3 Redhawks,357,44 and 45 Colt,3 Blackhawks 2 45 Colt and 1 44,a gp100 and 3 Ruger MK IIs I'd say my ported 4 5/8 44 mag for keepers

Actually, I do own a Redhawk in .44 Mag. But it isn't my favorite, which is not listed in the poll: the Police Service Six.

I recently acquired a Police Service Six 4" blued .357 Magnum. It balances as well, or nearly so, as a 4" S&W K Frame Magnum and it costs far less. The Security Six is the same gun, but with adjustable sights, so I like them almost as much as the fixed-sight Service Sixes - I guess I just find the Service Six more asthetically pleasing than the Security Six. Both are better looking than the GP100 that replaced them though, IMHO.

I don't own a Single Six, but I'd love too. Thing is they are darned expensive in my area, and I've got a cheapie Heritage that works just fine and cost half as much. I can get the Single Six NIB cheaper (about $299) than used, as I rarely see used Single Sixes selling for less than $350 in my area. Over $400 is fairly common.

I have owned four Rugers. I still have two. But I agree the one I could not do without is my Police Service Six in 4 inch. I would sell my GP100 before I would give up my Service six.
Below is my pride and joy.

Mine was not listed-

I like my Speed six the best of all the ones I have and of the ones listed I would go with the 3" inch SP101.

 

[kanook]

Redhawk in 357 hands down the beast. You can shoot the lightest 38s to the hardest of the "silhouette" loads (that fit in a revolver). Nothing like being able to push a 180jhp over 1400 fps.

And if you get the 356GNR conversion done, It only gets better.

The Redhawk in 45Colt would be a very close second.

 

[ClemY]

Talk about overkill. My 5 1/2" .44 Redhawk weighs 53.5 oz. I hate to think what it would weigh in .357. My S&W 627PC weighs 46 oz. and it is no light weight.

 

[batmann]

I choose my Alaskan, but it was a tough choice between that and my Lipsey .44 Spl Flattop.

 

[drumz2129]

Ill have to go with the GP100. I picked up a GP100 6" stainless .357 this past weekend for $350. It has virtually no wear and after cleaning it, I doubt they fired anything other than 38spl in it. It is my first revolver (other than my grandpa's old RG 66 .22lr) and it wont be my last.

 

[Fishman777]

Depends on your need...

If it were me, I'd take the GP100. I was faced with this decision and decided on the GP100. I would do it again. No complaint. If I needed a gun for CC, I might consider an SP101. The GP100 is more pleasant to shoot and fits my hand better.

 

[md7]

there is NO wrong choice for a ruger revolver. they are all built well and right imho. for my personal taste, i'll take the GP100. love mine in 4" ss. would like to have a 3" fixed sight, and an additional 4"er with half lug. a service six would work just as well for that.

 

[doubleh]

Any and all of their single actions. I'll pass on the double actions. There are better choices from other brands on double actions.

 

[NMGonzo]

Redhawk

I need the 4 inch barrel

 

[bhp9mm]

my sp101 9mm

Security Six, #10 on your list but omitted from your poll.

What you buy, use and feel comfortable with..........then go for it.
