skidder:

The scallop on the right recoil shield began to appear by at least serial number 158-14100. This would have been in 1982. I have a Ruger news letter somewhere which indicated that the scallop was done to make the Security-Six easier to draw out of a holster than the prior round recoil shield style-mainly for police usage.
