I had several of them years ago and sold them off before I knew better.
The Speed Six is the same gun as the Police Service Six except for the round butt. You can broaden your search to include Speed Six if you're OK with the round butt. I like the round butt on my short barreled Speed Sixes and my 4" bull barreled Model 10s.Anyone finds me a 4 inch blue police six for 400 or less I’d buy it now! ( I shouldn’t but would!)

Same here though I traded most of mine in on semi-autos instead. Had a GP100 but didn't care for it as much as I loved the Security Six.
I think that the Security Six fits very nicely between the SP101 and Redhawk size wise!
If Smith can bring back its classics and Colt can bring back the Python, why can't Ruger bring back the Security Six? No one said they have to stick a 1970's price tag on it.
Sorry, I meant it might be time for you to own one again, I have a 4" SS SS, and posted a pic of it.I'll send you a link momentarily.
5" gp has been on my want list. I have a 6" but chopping that one inch off does something special . won't get rid of the 6" of I get the 5" but it'll see less use- currently it's my most fired gun- it eats everything and asks for more.The 357 MC and the lipsey’s 357 five inch are both on my must have list. Basically the same gun but different purposes. I gottz to have me some blues steel and walnut!!! (Model10 too)

I really liked my GP100. But, it always felt a bit clunky to me. I really prefer the Sp101 size. I had a bit of an epiphany and thought if I am going to carry the weight and clunkiness of a GP100, I'll just get a Redhawk 5 1/2" in it's place.

My question for Ruger is = since the Speed 6 was so popular that you cannot find one in decent condition .except for a HIGH premium price.OrangePwrx9
Sigh...
I would be the first one in line to buy one if they did but I highly doubt it. Still it's a happy thought I like to keep buried deep in that part of my brain which clings to old fashioned notions and forlorn hope.

Probably because Ruger figures they've got their .357 Magnum bases pretty well covered with their current line-up and don't need the Six Series in the mix.
And for the most part they certainly do, however i'd love a GP100 with an 8 inch barrel as a standard offering
Please correct me if I'm wrong. The GP100 is very similar in size as the S&W L frame. Were the six series is closer to a K frame. The SP 101 is smaller than a K frame but not as small as a J frame. The LCR is close in size to the J frame.
I would love to see Ruger come out with a GP 100 in 41 mag with a 7", 5", & 3" barrels. I would have a hard time deciding what length to buy first
