Security Six - looking for 愼栠敲㵦⸢⼮湩敤瑨汭㸢楰瑳汯朠楲獰⼼㹡
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Greeting to all. This is my first post. Hope I'm doing this correctly. I am looking for pistol grips to fit a Security Six (s/n prefix is 150-) which Ruger dates to 1972. Was thinking about Pachmayr, but am undecided. I may go with something keeping more to original appearance. Anyone have any experience with fitting Pachmayr pistol grips to this revolver? Does anyone know a reliable source for pistol grips that would look "original"? I've already contacted Ruger. They still have some parts, but no pistol grips.

cdnn has original wood pistol grips.

Just heard back from Pachmayr. They state they have no pistol grips available for a model of this age (1972). I see the pistol grips from CDNN. Pricing looks almost too good to be true!? Thanks for the direction.

Posts: 249 The CDNN pistol grips are not for the early(150 series)Security Sixes! They only sell pistol grips for the newer model(151 and up!)Security Sixes!
I would recommend that you watch eBay auctions for some Herrett's "Shooting Stars" wood pistol grips for the(150 series)Ruger Security Six! These were made for both the(150)and the(151 and up!)Security Sixes and are very nice looking target pistol grips, that are styled very original looking, to the "Classic" design of these early Security Sixes! The Herrett's box for these pistol grips, will be marked in large(Bold)letters, as follows:
1)150 series, will be marked RSS(Ruger Security Six)and, Ruger Security Six will also be shown on the box(In very small print)!
2)151 series, will be marked RNSS(Ruger New Security Six)and, Ruger New Security Six will also be shown on the box(In very small print)!
3)NOTE: On both of the above Herrett's pistol grips, if no box is available with an auction for these, remember to ask the eBay seller, to look on the inside of these pistol grips for a sticker that will either read RSS or, RNSS?
I used to own a(150 series)Security Six and I did the above and found a set of these Herrett's "Shooting Stars" pistol grips-and, my Security Six looked very handsome indeed with these! Although these pistol grips don't come up on eBay everyday, I have seen them to appear from time to time, on a regular basis!

Posts: 277 What boa2 said. Also some of the Jay Scott pistol grips were made to fit the 150 and 151 guns. The easy way to tell if they'll fit both guns is they have 2 grip pin holes. I bought a pair of Jay Scott checkered walnut pistol grips off e-bay for $20.00.
You could also modify the grip frame to take the later model pistol grips. i did my 150 pre-fix gun and it turned out great. It only took about an hour.

Posts: 122 Lett pistol grips makes the pistol grips for Ruger. They also make and sell excellent custom pistol grips for Rugers of all kinds. I just bought a pair for my old Vaquero - pistol grips and service excellent.
www.lettpistol grips.com
They are the most likely source, great people. My pistol grips were shipped the same day they were ordered.

Posts: 249 The Lett pistol grips Company stopped making the pistol grips for the older 150 series and also the (151 and up, series)Security Six, Service Six, and the Speed Six revolvers, years ago! Their double action revolver pistol grips, are only made for the GP100 and the SP101 revolvers!
It is true however, that Lett does make pistol grips for Ruger's older single action revolvers!

Posts: 107 I don't where you live, but here there are several gunsmith shops. In the past I've gone to them because they all have a box of old pistol grips that they took off when doing a re-finish. In my case the smiths just set the box in front of me and let me scrounge. So far I've found Pachmayer Grippers for one of my M28's and a pair of magna pistol grips for my M49. In the case of the Pachs I was charged $10.00 and the Magnas ran me $5.00. I recall seeing older style Ruger wood pistol grips for the Security Six series and a set of wood pistol grips fro a Python.
Just another possibility - in case you're still looking. Half the fun can be in the looking.

Posts: 155 Do searches on Ebay. They pop up from time to time. There is a guy on Gunbroker selling some too, but he has kind of unrealistic price expectations
