Badger Grips are an improvement:
Hogue wood grips work as well: And you may find an old Mustang grip for round butt Rugers: These guns are as pretty as any other, and I trust them with my life.

My final advice to anyone is to snap up any Security/Speed six in good shape you find. A few years ago, I hunted gun stores for a long time before I found my Speed Six SS .357. I paid $250 then, now I am not sure what it would be worth, but it is a moot point because I am not selling. I like my Smith's, Colt's, and other Ruger's, but my favorite is still my Speed Six. |

Surprisingly enough, these $7.00 aftermarket grips from CDNN have been some of the best "practical" grips for my security six guns.
The wooden ones on my stainless sure do look pretty, but they make me bang my knuckles on the trigger guard (OUCH!). The el-cheapo rubber ones are great and absorb a LOT of recoil!

Wait, stop. I just realized I have Pachmayr grips on my Colt 1911. I bet JMB's ghost will visit me soon. |

Recoil? What recoil? You guys are act like a .357M kicks. I had never shot one before I bought my SS and was a little aprehensive. Boy was I in for a suprise, .357's are a kitty cat. Even more so in factory SD loadings. My .45 Witness-P and the Glock 45's have more recoil.
Too many better options for Ruger's Six line and life's to short to own ugly guns. LK |

I must be confused. A guy who likes the Glock is calling a Security Six ugly? That can't be right...

Like glocks? Where did I say I liked glocks? I've never owned one, never will, don't like em. But I've had numerous tries at shooting them thanks to a fellow shooter that owns 2. And the Witness-P is gone too.

my friend came in possession of a 3" SS security six model. How rare and good are they, and what are yous thoughts on them?

I recall one of the first reviews of the Security Six was by the late Bob Milek, he gave the factory grips thumbs down. Mine has Pachmayrs, I didn't fire it once with the factory grips.

A Security Six will not make you rich, but it's nice to have a quality pistol that keeps gaining in value. |

Never had a better revolver. Had a 4" stainless model that was very accurate - I could put all 6 rounds in a paper plate ate 100 yards. Used to deer hunt with it, and it was my service side arm when I served as a volunteer "special deputy" with the local county sherriff's department. Can't believe I sold it. Would by another in a heartbeat if I ever get the chance.

One of the best revolvers ever built.
And that's coming from a die hard S&W wheelgun owner.
If they made it in .22 it would be perfect. The Ruger is a tank. Drives tacks and will outperform in adverse conditions just about any other handgun ever produced. And it has very good styling for a revolver. I guess that just about sums it up for tonight. More input later from the others that really like this wheelgun too.

I love mine.
Fun to shoot and like a lot of Rugers, overbuilt. Really strong. Get an aftermarket spring kit for it and it makes the action a lot nicer.

My friend bought the Ruger SS with serial number starting by 150xxxxx. He is unable to find grips for it. Any help would be great. Hogue does not have 'em.
