Hi All,
I've recently gotten rid of my compact semi auto in favor of the J-frame revolver.
I have been using HKS 5-shot speedloaders to load my J-frames quickly. I like the HKS loaders, but sometimes I get them stuck against the rubber Bantam Boot grips that I have installed on my gun.
I recently bought a pair of Maxfire speedloaders. These loaders took me a bit more time to get used to, but they seem to work pretty well. These Maxfire loaders have a flat side that seems to allow a little more clearance for the rubber grips and they don't get hung up on the grips as easily.
In order to load the gun with the maxfire loaders, you align the cartridges with the holes, push the speedloader towards the cylinder so the rounds are inserted into the chambers, then slide the speedloader away from the frame to shear the rounds off from the rubber loader and into the cylinders.

This works pretty well, but I'm wonder if this type of action might put too much stress on the yoke of my J-frame.
Does anyone have any experience with these Maxfire loaders? This might sound like a silly question, but do you think these are OK to use with my gun (60-14) or might they put too much strain on the yoke or other parts of the gun?
Thanks!
