This is a Ruger Security Six. It says "Made in the 200th Year of American Liberty," so it must be from 1976...which just happens to be the year of my birth. I'm not a "revolver guy," but I found it easy to hit 8" plates at 25 yards. It fits well in my hand and the trigger is very nice. It has a little muzzle wear near the muzzle, but it is in great shape for 35 years old. I paid $150 cash. 
... now how did I get such a great deal? Well, the seller was my brother, and he knew damn well it was worth more than that. He's just a nice guy. |
First centerfire handgun I ever bought. You will enjoy it.

OP: Nice snag for a great price. If you are interested in some good wood factory grips for yours take a look here and see if they will work with yours. If it is a 151- or newer revolver, they will. Here is what they look like on my Security-Six, and I believe they are on sale for about $10 right now.

Nice score, It's also got a rear sight and most I've seen only have the grove in the barrel for a rear sight.  The one with fixed sights is the Service Six, but the "groove" is in the frame. I paid US$140 for this .

For my old Service Six, it is hard to find grips, so I snatched up the Tyler' s in a trade for the Pachmayr's I had gotten along with the gun. Your Speed Six is a nice shooting iron! |

I agree with you about service grips. I am keeping my eyes open for a dark set of Tyler's for my Model 18. |
