The HKS Speedloader # for your M85 is 36A

The Safariland Comp I Speedloader # for your M85 is J-C7

The Maxfire Speedloader # for your M85 is M4K

Midway has the HKS 36-A (http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=466721&t=11082005) on sale for $6.99 and it's available.

Midway has the Safariland J-C7 (http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=127569&t=11082005) for $10.99 and it's available.

Midway has the Maxfire M4K (http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=149448&t=11082005), $10.99 for a package of 2.
I have never used them so I can't recommend them but they are another option available to you.

I have used both the HKS and Safariland Speedloaders with my J frame and both work well though I like the Comp I Speedloaders better. I have sold all my HKS Speedloaders and replaced them with Safariland Speedloaders, they are that much better IMO. I also use Bianchi Speed Strips (http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=243389&t=11082005) because sometimes Speedloaders are just too bulky and you need something that's flat and will fit in your pocket.

thank you for that info.

Wow. I agree 100% with everything ArchAngel said.

You're welcome, I'm glad I could help....

The other way to phrase it: any speedloader for an S&W J-Frame 5-shot 38Spl or 357 will work, as will speedloaders for the 357 Ruger SP101.

Don't forget Bianchi Speed Strips for those times when you do not want an unsightly bulge! :)
