Speedloader for S&W Model 60?

[antsi]

My wife just picked up a Model 60, and wants a speedloader for it. However, most of these are labeled "for N frame" or "for J frame" and I have never understood the S&W frame system.

What speedloader will work for my wife's model 60?

Also, she didn't like the HKS speedloader for a different gun because of having to twist the knob to let the cartridges drop. Is there another brand that's easier to use?

Her model 60 is a J frame. I can't stand the HKS speedloaders either. I use Safariland speedloaders: no knob to fiddle with, just get the cartridges started in the cylinder and push forward and the cartridges pop free automatically. You can see them at http://www.safariland.com/duty/speedloaders.asp

There are three different models, Comp I, II, or III. Basically small, medium, and large depending on whether you'd rather have minimum size or a better grip. The Comp IIIs are also spring loaded, good for fast reloads in competition but maybe a bit bulky to carry. I believe J frame speedloaders only come in the smallest size, Comp I. That's what I use and I have no trouble manipulating them.

You might look at Bianchi speed strips, which are slightly slower to use, but take up less pocket space, and have given me no problems in nearly three years' use.
