I have a new-for-me Ruger Speed Six with a 2 3/4" barrel.
Very few places mention holster compatibility with a Speed Six. If a holster fits a Security Six the fit should be exact, as far as I've understood. The Internets also claim a holster meant for a K-Frame would fit, but I would like to confirm this from a more reliable source, such as you guys. Any difference between leather and kydex (if such a thing even exists as a Kydex K-frame holster... ), or something else like that one should take into consideration before buying a holster meant for a K-frame for use with a Ruger Speed Six?
To facilitate a faster sight picture, I painted the front sight orange (with a white undercoat first). This works very well in good light. However, in poorer light (like say around dusk, or shooting at the local outdoor range after dark with the range floodlights on) the orange color tends to disappear. The front sight appears to be pinned in place so in theory it is replaceable. The Internet claims a Ruger SP101 front sight will fit, just needs a hole drilled in the right place for the retaining pin. But is that actually true? And are the sights the same height?
