As a public service, I wish to state that Safariland speedloaders are much better than HKS speedloaders. I now return you to your regular internet browsing.....
Seriously. After all these years... I have had HKS speedloaders for a long time, and they're ok, but they're fidgety, and the shells splay out and don't want to all align, and my bullets of choice (158gr. SWC HP) really don't like that arrangement. And sometimes, the speedloader wants to drag a shell or two back out.
So, I finally decided to get some Safariland Comp I and II speedloaders. Wow. What a difference. They hold the shells still, making it MUCH easier and faster to get them all aligned into the chambers. Even my lead hollowpoints work pretty well with them. And just push. Click. You're done. Everything I have read about them seems to be true. Only time will prove durability, but I don't really have concerns there.
I got K frame and J frame size. The J frame one works even though the grip panel is still kinda in the way. I can still get the cartridges in well enough to make 'er go. The K frame ones operate almost effortlessly.
I just wish they made one for a .357 Model 27/28! (they do make an N frame .44) I have to stay with HKS for that one!
They're like eleven bucks and change, so they're definitely worth a try, if you're looking for speedloaders.
