RUGER'S 1ST DA REVOLVERS: THE SIXES

[Talyn]

Between 1972 and 1988, Ruger ran rampant on the revolver market with a new and innovative line of double-action wheel guns best known today as the "Sixes".

This was my second .357 mag-the first pistol I actually bought a used Taurus .38 spl from a Lady at work for $50.00.
I shot that quite a bit back in the 70's and I think I traded it for a S&W 586 Combat .
I still wish I had that Ruger though to this day I still really like them.

Love them Rugers. Back then I was to young to buy handguns.

Always liked those 6's, Security and Speed. Bought one for a song once when a friend thought the "loose" cylinder was a sign it was broken and dangerous. I could not convince him there was nothing wrong with it and knew if I didn't buy it from him at a fair price, he'd end up being taken by someone else. Sad thing was he had owned and shot that hand gun for a couple years before he realized the cylinder was "loose" and dangerous.

Many will disagree but I think the Security-Six is the finest .357 made.

Excellent revolvers.

I have an early Security Six in stainless steel. It is a thing of beauty. Ruger really got it right with these revolvers.
