my first carry piece when I owned a dancehall back in the '80's

ran across a nice one for not much money, so I had to snag it

built like a tank

very well balanced

smooth action and accurate

.357 barks like a big dog

[beeenbag]

that box and lighting reminds me of something that should be in "scarface" or something like that.

[Bush Pilot]

That thing is sho nuff purty.

[fireside44]

Nice. Should NOT pass up on old speed six. Should NOT sell an old speed six.:)

[bannockburn]

Nice pick-up! Would love to have just one of my Security/Service/Speed Sixes back.

[scaatylobo]

I wanted one for decades.

I have a old blued Security Six [ 2 3/4" ] that shoot oh so well,BUT its not a Speed Six.

That last post reminded me that I gave the very same holster to a young lady that bought my DAO SP101 a few weeks back.

I still have the 3 1/4" model.

But the original Lou Alessi holster did not fit that one.

I will not buy the stuff now stamped Alessi as is not even close to Lou's stuff [ rest in Peace ].

And I am still drooling over that Speed 6.

[doc540]

I did not know that about Alessi holsters.

Maybe this is an older one that I should keep if for nothing more than respect for Lou.

.357 bites like a big dog, too. A really big dog. I still hate myself for selling my 4" .357 Speed Six back in the 1990s. The previous owner had a sweet trigger job done on it. It was smooth and light.

[Rexster]

Congratulations! Mine is the 4" version, and serves as our house gun, as my wife liked it enough to claim it for that purpose. (I have plenty of other Ruger and S&W .357 revolvers.) I installed a spurless hammer, and the Pachmayr grips that leave the backstrap exposed. These are great sixguns!

[Blue Brick]

Nice.

[scaatylobo]

I know for a fact that is the older holster by Lou himself.

And except for doing that lady [ VERY cute ] a favor,I keep all my Lou holsters.

And I have more than a few.

In Lou's old shop is his old partner ,Skip Ritchie and Skip makes stuff close to Lou's as any I have ever seen.

I own a 'few' of Skip's stuff and am not at all sorry.

He backs his stuff as Lou did.
