Ruger 357 Revolver info

[hit and miss]

Just purchase a Ruger Security 6 357 Revolver for my wife - don't know much about big calibers. I want to know if I can shoot 38 or 38 specials?

You can shoot 38 specials out of any .357 Magnum revolver.

.357 Magnum and .38 Special.

You can shoot anything from the mildest .38 specials up through the wildest, buttstomping .357s.

As an aside you got yourself a damn fine revolver.

thanks for info. i bought this gun from a farmer selling off a small collection of guns today. gave 200.00 ithink .357 is a little too much for her.

$200 is a good price, if in decent shape. The Six series is heavy enough that your wife may not have difficulty shooting .357 magnum loads, but if she does, then use a decent .38 +P. I find that my 2.75" Speed-Six is more manageable than my S&W 2.5" 19 with full house .357 ammo, even though both wear the same Pachmayr grips.

Make sure it's .38 Special and not .38 Super or .380.
