Round butt frame, the grips can have a round butt or squared off. Variants were made with adjustable sights too.The Speed is a round butt fixed sight for CCW.
That's a pretty good price on almost any functional Six series Ruger nowadays....Thanks for the response. I found a used Security six today for $350.00 It is a little worn, but appears to be fine.
Today, that ammo alone would cost $75, and yours was undoubtably better ammo.I was issued a pre WWII Colt police, with a 4 in barrel, revolver in 1973 for service carry with a small city police department. The Colt was loose and shot out, out of time (shaved lead on two chambers) and unfit for duty use. The department I was with allowed officers to carry personal weapons on duty if they meet department specifications. This was: fire 38 special, six shot double action, at least 4in barrel.
I purchased a Sterm Ruger Security-Six, six in barrel with blue finish before going to the police training (two weeks at the Highway Patrol training classes). I still have this revolver and have fired thousands of 357 rounds with it. I carried it with 357 loads in the cylinder and six 38 Special rounds to resupply other officers if needed. This has been the best firearm I have owned and is still accurate and tight. I believe I paid $75.00 and that included two boxes of 357 ammo.
The Security Six series will do to ride the river with.I was issued a pre WWII Colt police, with a 4 in barrel, revolver in 1973 for service carry with a small city police department.

The one on the right I converted to rb (and on my left is my S&W 66-1). Both outstanding ccw guns.
You went on the police force just as I graduated from high school.

Gun Master,I never got turned on by Ruger DA's, but really liked my Single Six and Blackhawk .357/9mm convertible 7 1/2" . As far as DA's, I've always been a Smith man. I'll check into it.
By the way, I celebrated my 15th year of marriage the year you graduated from high school. I've liked your input on THR and value your expertise.
