Description

This Ruger Security-Six is a double-action revolver chambered for the powerful .357 Magnum cartridge, featuring a 4-inch barrel with a six-round fluted cylinder capacity. The firearm is constructed of steel with a blued finish and is equipped with a ramped front sight and an adjustable rear sight for target acquisition. The receiver displays the model designation RUGER SECURITY-SIX and the Ruger logo on the right side, while the right side of the barrel is marked .357 MAGNUM CAL. The left side of the barrel features the standard manufacturer and safety three-line roll mark: BEFORE USING GUN-READ WARNINGS IN INSTRUCTION MANUAL AVAILABLE FROM STURM, RUGER & CO., INC. SOUTHPORT, CONN. U.S.A. followed by the Ruger R trademark. The serial number 154-72793 is clearly stamped on the bottom of the grip frame. The revolver is fitted with two-piece checkered walnut target grips featuring silver-tone Ruger medallions. According to published Ruger serial-number references, this example was manufactured in approximately 1979. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.


Condition report:

The revolver retains a strong blued finish with minor holster wear visible at the muzzle and along the high edges of the frame. The cylinder exhibits a faint turn line and typical thinning of the finish at the locking notches. The grip straps show slight thinning consistent with handling. The bore is bright with sharp, well-defined rifling. The action appears to function correctly in both single and double action, and the cylinder locks up securely. The checkered wood grips are in good condition with minor handling marks and light finish wear at the base, but no visible cracks. Mechanical function has not been independently verified through test-firing.
