Brothers from a different Father

[morrcarr67]

Two of the greatest gun designers gave birth to two great guns almost 60 years apart.

John Moses Browning gave birth to the iconic 1911 and William (Bill) Ruger gave birth to the Security Six.

And now I own a Security Six and a 1911 made by Ruger.

Sweet! If I can find a good used sr1911, I'm buying it.

I got mine here on CalGuns for a reasonable price. Keep looking one will pop up.

I have an SR1911 CMD. I'd love to have a security six too!!

Sorry to burst your bubble but Browning did give birth to the 1911, Ruger copied it and Ruger did not give birth to the DA revolver but copied it too in a poorer rendition than S&W and Colts.

You need to work on your reading comprehension.

Did you actually read his post?

And OP thanks for sharing, those are two beauties.

You DO know he was referring to models, not platforms. Reading comprehension 101.

Bill Ruger said that he lost money on every Six series gun he sold.

Anybody remember the old revolver advertisements where Ruger and S&W would go at each other?
Here's a link with the story and ads from back then, including info on Smith and the Six / GP100 series:

I forgot about the burger ad.

That was a good read, thanks for sharing.

That revolver looks beautiful!!! Does it handle 357 magnums like the GP100?
