Ruger Police Service 6 arrived today....

Post by fortyshooter » Wed Jun 30, 2021 4:23 pm

Picked it up this afternoon and checked it out. Listed as in Fair condition with lots of holster wear the mechanicals seem to be okay.
The B/C gap is at .008 with cylinder all the way back and has .008 cylinder end play. Will get a shim kit to tighten it up a bit.
Trigger pull is nice and cylinder locks up fine. Looks like it spent some time in Georgia. Anyone know what GDM stands for?
Compares nicely to my S&W 66 and fits same holster too. Range test coming soon!

Looks decent. I had one like it that was a counter gun. On a flat, rubberized bar magnet under a countertop. Flawless function, accurate.. Not pretty. :D But, always handy if someone unexpected popped in thru the kitchen door. ;)

I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.

Serial number indicates a 1977 build. Will take some shots with it this weekend.

The revolver had a bit of end shake showing .008 end play and the cylinder shims I had were for S&W revolvers. Wanted to shoot it this weekend so
I punched out my own .006 shim out of some stainless shim stock. It took some hand work to get the O.D. down several thousandths to a .401 dia. but it worked out real nice. Cylinder rotates smooth with no felt end shake. Nice and smooth. I do have some shims on order for a couple bucks incase I need them. So will see how it shoots this weekend with great weather in the forecast!

Forty Congrats. No clue on what GDM stands for. I lived in Georgia for 23 years, before moving to VA. Passed thru Hoschton many times, to get to Winder when I taught motorcycle safety classes. Pretty much a small rural southern town and not much there.
