It has been my experience that the Detective Special and a Model 36 (or similar) J frame are usually interchangeable in the same holster. Not so with the 2" K frame and DS.
I just took some quick measurements:
K Frame Cylinder = 1.445" Dia.
DS Cylinder = 1.401"
K frame frame height in front of cylinder = 2.272"
DS frame frame height in front of cylinder =2.075" (almost .200" smaller.)
In addition to these differences, the K frame is approximately .200" longer than the DS and you may have retention strap problems.
I put a detective special in a 2" K frame holster and the holster is way too big for the DS. It swims in it.
Maybe you can get the Galco DS holster (depending upon the model holster) to stretch in several directions, but I wouldn't count on it.
