Item Description
Bryant Ridge Co. is pleased to present this collectible double/single-action revolver today for a penny-start auction, this is the Ruger Security-Six.
In 1976, to celebrate the United States Bicentennial, Ruger marked nearly all of its firearms with the roll-stamped inscription “Made in the 200th Year of American Liberty.” This special marking appeared on a wide range of models, including the Security-Six, Single-Six, Blackhawk, Mini-14, and others produced that year. While not a limited edition in the traditional sense—since Ruger applied the stamp to all guns manufactured in 1976—the marking has become a popular collector’s detail due to its patriotic significance.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Ruger Security-Six, part of Ruger’s Six Series of revolvers, marks a notable advancement in double-action handgun design. Introduced by Sturm, Ruger & Co. in 1972 and manufactured until 1988, the Security-Six was primarily aimed at law enforcement, military personnel, and civilian self-defense, quickly establishing a reputation for its durability and versatility. The earliest models featured fixed sights, while most of the later iterations incorporated adjustable iron sights to enhance accuracy. Primarily chambered for the potent .357 Magnum cartridge, the Security-Six also accommodated the shorter .38 Special, offering users flexibility based on their shooting needs. Some versions were specifically produced in .38 Special to fulfill law enforcement requirements. The revolver was available in several barrel lengths—2.75, 4, and 6 inches—allowing users to select a size that suited their preferences for carry or target practice. The choice between service-style and target-style grips (square or round butt) enhanced the revolver's adaptability, catering to both duty use and recreational shooting. The Security-Six has earned a reputation for reliability and performance, making it a popular choice among law enforcement and civilian shooters alike during its production run.
