I guess I have technically been collecting Rugers for 39 years? My first firearm was a gift from my dad. A Ruger Security Six in 1978 when I turned 21. I mostly collect Ruger hand guns. A few 10/22s And a M77 in 30-06.
Looking forward to learning from this group.
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same. - Ronald Reagan
Welcome to ROCS. There are a lot of very smart people here that really know all aspects of Ruger. One of my good friends in the group lives across the River from you. Security Six is a nice piece, I like my Police Service Six. I had a 6" blued Service Six that I sold. Wish I had kept that one
Some people sit on $.05 of knowledge like it is the treasure of Egypt. I will teach anyone $.10 worth just to prove a point...
Welcome... You will fit right in....Don't hesitate to ask questions, we love them and you will get several responses hopefully answering your question.
I bought my wife a Security Six in .357mag. about the same time you got yours. It is still in service today and still shots better than I do.
Great to have you visit us on this informative forum. Rugers are fun to collect and you have found a large group of like minded collectors. I bought my first Ruger in the middle 1960s while attending The Ohio State University in Ohio. I still have my Ruger Super Single Six today and one of my grandsons wants it? Post any questions or wants that you have and we will try to help you.
