I could have gotten the J frame full block but with the gun loaded and the 2 HKS loaders and two 5 star loaders loaded I couldn't see myself going through 13 cylinder fulls straight in a J frame. This will give me 7 full cylinders in a row with my J frames and that's plenty for a small revolver.

I love these blocks as they let you train to use speed loaders much quicker than having to reload each speed loader individually. That's great for a revolver guy like me!

Good heavens!
You have more money in speed-loaders then I have in my post-war S&W collection!

More power to you!

I have the "5-Star Bedside Set", and love it, especially at the range. The speed loader by itself outdoes any other on the market. Neat little package for me, but you have outdone yourself there, really nice.
 
I got these for my 500. My only complaint is that you have to turn them counterclockwise to unlock.

Do you guys use those pretty little things? You will do as you train and you should bounce those little preciousess upon the concrete with each and every reload.

I use mine all the time!

That was actually a purposeful design feature. I explain it in my video below. BTW, I want your 500 snubbie! jealous1.gif

Well that's all good and proper then perhaps. Happy bouncing and gravel grinding.
While they are purdy; they are all tools to me. I have no safe queens. I carry some pricey guns in some pricey leather too. I often carry my S&W m22-4 Heritage Series with the Turnbull case-hardened frame. Its not too hard of a carry gun because of the tapered pencil barrel, and I carry it in my custom Sting-Ray leather holster:
