A few years ago I was looking for a reliable .357 mag. Revolver in a managable size. A local gun shop had a second-hand 2 3/4 Ruger Police Service Six in stainless steel. It was like new and I bought it for 250 €. A while later I found in the Internet, that the grip of all pictured Ruger Police Service Six look different to that of mine. The grip was called round butt and it should be a Speed Six grip. The serial number shows 1985 as year of production. I heard that Ruger took Speed Six frames if they had not enough Police Service Six frames for large orders from Police departments and marked this frames with Police Service Six. Could that be possible? If yes, which department could have ordered this Revolver?
