RUGER SECURITY SIX SERIAL NUMBER UPGRADE
īy the early 1980s, Ruger commissioned a heavier duty upgrade of the Six line that could handle a "lifetime diet" of full-powered magnum loads. While Ruger's Security-Six line has been out of production since 1988, a total of over 1.5 million revolvers were produced and they remain well-liked and respected, as well as highly sought after in the second-hand market due to their strength and reliability. The Security-Six and its derivatives also became the standard issue service weapons of a large number of police departments, in addition many were exported overseas. Various models were issued by US government agencies as diverse as the former Immigration and Naturalization Service, the Postal Service, the Border Patrol, and numerous police agencies. The "six series" line enjoyed sales success because of their basic features, solid construction, and competitive pricing. The Ruger Redhawk, introduced in 1980 and also designed by Sefried, was a scaled-up and improved version of the Security-Six. Ruger's new double action revolvers were unlike other guns on the market in that they used a one-piece frame, rather than a removable sideplate, which lent them superior strength. The grip profile of the Sentinel was used on the "Six" line.
Sefried had previously worked for High Standard Manufacturing Company, where he designed the High Standard Sentinel revolver. As with all Ruger firearms, the Security-Six revolvers were robustly designed with large, heavy-duty parts for durability and to allow for investment casting.
Ruger used investment casting for most parts in an effort to hold down production costs. The corporation's earlier designs had been Colt Peacemaker-style single-action revolvers. The introduction of the Security-Six and its variants marked Sturm Ruger's first attempt to enter the double-action revolver market. Smith & Wesson and Colt at the time dominated the medium frame law enforcement double action revolver contracts. Despite being popular with civilians, Bill Ruger wanted to get into law enforcement and security contracts. As far back as 1966, Ruger designers Harry Sefried and Henry Into began working on the company's first double-action revolver.
