Security 6 grips

[Crazy Horse]

I have had my Security 6 about 1 year now. It came with the original wood grips, which I love but they were way too small. I don't have large hands, but the wood grips are very small for a 357, and after about 24 rounds, your hand starts to sweat making them not only small, but slippery. I have a Pachmyar grip on my Taurus 38 blue Titanium and love it. So I purchased a Pachmyar grip for the Security 6. It fit, but not perfect, and it felt nowhere near as perfect as it does on my Taurus. So, I broke down and purhased a Hogue grip. The installation required removing a pin, but was pretty straight forward. Overall, it's the best grip for the Security 6 that I have held.

Is there some kind of roper style grip available? Eagle etc? Gun that pretty needs walnut

There are two grip frame sizes for the Security Six. Grips don't interchange. Serial number prefix determines grip size.

I agree, but the stock ones were very small. I'm sure I could find other larger wood (walnut) grips, but They would probably be triple the cost of the hogue grips.

Overall I like the functionality and price of rubber grips.

Crazy Horse, do you find the Hogues to be as comfortable in recoil? I put on Pachmayrs for mine and agree they don't fit perfectly- they don't completely close together in front. It doesn't affect the shooting, but they do cover the backstrap, which for me was the main thing. Recoil makes me cry.

Col,

I took it to the range today. Funny thing, I took reloads that I thought I created using TG powder, but actually were reloaded with 2400. Don't know if you've used these powders before. Anyways, 2400 creates a significant light show. But the recoil. It was great. The Hogue grips are softer than the Pachmyar grips. Previously I had only fired 2400 reloads using my GP100. Which is much larger and heavier than the Security 6. It was the first time I had shot reloads with 2400 powder through the Security 6. I can honestly say both the firearm and the Hogue grips impressed me. The gun fired the bullets with no issues and the grips absorbed the recoil, to the point where in retrospect it felt the same as in the GP100 which is larger and heavier.

I have the Pachmayr Presentation Grip (size small) on my Service-Six. More purchase than the wood originals when shooting magnums, but not overly huge like some other products. I am not generally a fan of finger grip cutouts on revolvers.

The best grips ever made for the Security Six. Wood grip with rubber finger grip insert, but they were discontinued in 1981 and they are nowhere to be found anymore. Pachmayr did continue making them for other makes and models though.

Yeah, those are some nice grips. Love the wood around the rubber. I've seen similar style grips on the SP101. Wonder if Ruger had anything to do with them being discontinued.

I have those on my 2 3/4" Service 6. My 4" Security 6 has the Hogues like the OP has. Works for me.

I have Hogues on all of my DA revolvers. They are the cat's meow.

I just bought another set for my Taurus 65. Was debating wooden grips, but I really liked the way they felt on my Security 6.

I have PACHMAYR and HOGUE grips on my 6's. I prefer the HOGUE'S.

Pachmyar were the first aftermarket grips I purchased. They are excellent on my Taurus 85, but for larger revolvers, I have to agree. Hogue are better.

Back when the Ruger Security Six was gaining popularity Ruger came out with some large grips for them that fit my hand perfectly. I put them on 3 Security Six's and really like them. The grips are out of production now but you can occasionally find them on Ebay.

That's a pretty Sec 6.

I have the Pachmayr Presentation grips on my S6. Tried the Hogue and didn't care for the looks of them.

I have a large set of what I suppose are target grips from a Security 6. They do not have an emblem of any sort but I suspect they are walnut. I will trade you mine for yours.
