Default M60 and speedloaders?

I have a S&W M60 with 3" barrel 357mag. It has the S&W wood Target Grips for a nice look and feel .I also have the rubber Pachmyr Gripper grips which are a bit slender and cover the backstrap . I would like to use speedloaders but Im hearing that they wont clear the grip to get the cartridges in the cylinder.Anyone have a j frame with Grippers or the S&W wood Target grips that have tried speedloaders that work?

i like those s&w banana and target grips from the past but they do not work with speed loaders. consider speed strips.

+1...I've never really had too much luck with aftermarket grips with speed loaders. With a little practice, you should be able to become just as quick with the Speed Strips as you might of been with the speed loaders.

yes i agree. i keep loaded speed strips squirreled away in truck, house, pocket, computer bag. they are cheap and easy to pocket. i have .38s in some and .357s in some others.
