Am not aware of a speedloader made for the model 30-1 . . . or any model chambered for 32 S&W Long.

I did use speed loaders for my model 36s in .38 S&W Special caliber, but encountered the same problem you describe with the factory as well as many after-market stocks. I now use Bianchi SpeedStrip for the .38 and a Tuff Products "QuickStrip" for the .32. They work great, are much easier to carry and - with a little practice - can be as quick to use as a speed loader.

Good luck and enjoy,

Russ
