i have both the HKS and the Safariland Comp-1 for my 642...they should both work with the 649 too.
i like the Comp-1 better. it's simpler to use as well as faster

Any speedloader that will work for any other J frame will work with the M649 unless you changed the grips to a set that will interfere with their operation.
HKS are the most commonly known speedloaders. The #36A work with S&W J frame revolvers.
I like Safariland speedloaders much better. They have 3 different types which vary in height. I use the Comp I loaders because they are the smallest and easiest to conceal. (Part #J-C7)
Another brand is Maxfire. I've never used them so I can't comment on them.
Another option is speed strips. I also carry Bianchi Speed Strips because sometimes you need something flat. They aren't as fast as a speedloader but with a pair of shorts and a T shirt on, they disappear in your pocket.

wep45 and his 649
I own a S&W 649 as well! Gotta love that weird curved hump... at any rate your question is about speedloaders, and I have the answer as far as my taste goes. I chose the HKS for a few reasons: theyre only 9-10 dollars per, smaller than the Safariland III, and because I have devised the ultimate modification for it. Again, I am the creator of the following speedloader modification, just see in my pictures. Oh, and my modification DOES NOT interfere with the grips or the cylinder release. It is 1/2" of heater hose (from the Autozone parts store nearby) fitted onto the twist-knob of the spdldr. It makes it easier to grab and improves the center of gravity when loaded with rounds. Also, check w/ your local armorer about having the front sight dovetailed into a red ramp-type setup for a better sight picture. He also detailed the rear notch with bright white enamel paint. Check out my pictures and get back to me!!
