Yup, they made them.
Any of the "-six" guns seem to fetch $400 give or take $50 around here. Shorter barrels tend to bring a little more, but not much more. Obviously, condition, box, etc. plays into the price. |

Yes, and the short barreled sixes are becoming something of a cult item. Can be very hard to find.

Mine is a Speed Six. Same exact gun except for the adjustable sights.

I personally prefer the Speed-Six over the Security-Six with the 2 3/4in barrel.

I've been wanting one since I'm left handed. I find the cylinder release on them to be the easiest to work with.
ETA: just bought one. seen better days with the finish but im going to send it to mahovsky. |

I had a Ruger Security Six, 6" barrel, and a Security Six with a short, probably 2 & 1/2 in barrel back in the 1980's. I don't remember why, but I traded one, and sold the other. That was one of my dumber moves, gun wise. The short barrel one had had an action job on it & was sweet to shoot. The 6" barrel one I bought new. Both were fine guns, very accurate. I both for cheap compared to today's prices. I never did understand why Ruger quit making them. I know I wish I still had both of them.
Thanks, Mark |

The GP 100 is a fine gun too! I held one at my local gun store after I bought a new S&W 686. I have to admit, I liked the feel of the Ruger better. But after 400-500 rounds through it, I guess I am used to the 686. I don't like the lock. Thanks again, Mark |

I know what you mean. I've always been an auto guy until I handled my first jframe. I normally only buy ss pistols but now I "need" an old-school blued bodyguard or something, lol. I'm really digging those GP's. Just can't decide on full or half lug. Weight isn't a concern since it will just be a range/bedside/vehicle piece. Plus, I need a GP!
