Hi Folks:
The title says it all... Six inch barreled, Ruger Security-Six in 38 Special Only (Not 357). Blue or SS.
Yes, they were made in 6 inch, 38 spl. I want one that has NOT had the chambers reamed out to 357.
Please PM if you know of one for sale.
Thank you for your time.

The .357 Magnum......
1935
Major Douglas Wesson, using factory loads, which were a 158 gr. soft lead bullet, traveling 1515 fps, from an 8 3/4" barreled S&W, producing 812 ft. lbs of muzzle energy.
Antelope - 200 yards (2 shots)
Elk - 130 yards (1 shot)
Moose - 100 yards (1 shot)
Grizzly Bear - 135 yards (1 shot).
It kind of makes one wonder, why today, it will bounce off anything bigger than a rabbit
Got to be one out there somewhere

Not a catalog item. Some made for export and police contract runs when I worked for the company. Most went to Canada or to the EU. Best bet would be to find a .38 Special cylinder from a Service Six, which is fairly common, and fit it.
The ENEMY is listening.
HE wants to know what YOU know.
Keep it to yourself.
Thanks for the info, great to know some history on them!
