Security Six grip alum grip adapter wanted ---
My circuity is not finding proper name this day, but they are cast alum and fill somewhat behind the trig-guard, and taper down to the grip bottom, usually with some mild finger grooves. They were quite well made, fell on hard quality times, and recently resurrected. color doesn't matter.
Reason -- the Sec has a good gripshape, if I get snuggled into it. Still, pretty tight right behind the TG. Also as the base flares out, my pinkie tends to not be as secure as I'd like.
This is in prep for hunting down [or making] a set of customs. I really like this 6" banger, for both rounds. It came with a vintage shoulder holster and that is the method of carry to which it seems to suited. I see Rob's and Mike's stuff with the slanted cross chest rigs, and also a few straight drops. Mostly for under winter or fall lighter coats when just tramping with the dogs, 'Yotes have been much in evidence in places I like for walking, out to the west side of the area.
And...as long as it Security Day, would like a brighter front sight and white outlined rear -- faster pick up with less diddling around for older eyes to get a reasonable sight pic. Not lobbing at 200-300 yard rocks, but out to a hunnert on a gong, and fifty most likely.
Thanks for usual experienced and no BS replies. This bunch of folks has saved me about ayear of hours, in not having to trudge thru every depot of firearms inanity on Web.

It's a Tyler No. 8 you seek.
The good news is they don't get snapped up as fast nor as dear as their Smiff and Colt counterparts. The bad news is they don't show up as often. I used to have an extra squirreled away...I'll check.
As for sights, I'm pretty sure XS makes a replacement...mebee in their 'Big Dot' series? I do know the front bead for a SP-101 will NOT work, at least without a fair bit of fiddlin'.
Ahh, here'tis => https://www.xssights.com/Products.aspx?CAT=8352
Edited to add: Pretty sure the rear sight blade is the same as the Black/Redhawks. Ruger did supply those with white outline at one time.
It's a Tyler No. 8 you seek.
Good research, there. will start a hunt....and give it a try. I like the rugged ness of the 'six, and there's nothing wrong with it's accuracy..
I might have a #8 as well. I sold a couple, used a couple..
They are great guns.

Last I heard Tyler was still in business making those things. I am a great believer in them. I have that same setup on my 6" SecSix, except with a reworked set of Jay Scott zebrawood stocks, and it is great. That rig is my tractor gun, carried when I am working over on the back side of my place. Pretty wild and far from roads or anything else. I like a pancake worn crossdraw for that duty, something like Rob's Roy Baker Tribute.
Security Sixes are great guns.
No go on the Tyler #8 here.
Or, I put it in a VERY safe place. Sorry.
Thanks for the shared experience.....
I'm thinking crossdraw or semi-shoulder holster. May work with the one that came with the gum. Re-strap it beet material -- the holster is fine. For these mostly farming flatlands around here, the flat-shooter is fine. first woodchuck I killed with a pistol was with my old ruger flatie -- circa 1965's.
Very safe place -- yup, when I find the one I have,
it'll have to be cleared out with a garage sale. have actually had to buy a replacement for something I knew damn well I had cached 'somewhere safe'...oh..."and easy to find," Thanks for the look-see.
