Safariland speed-loader for 7-shot 686?

jcs266 · Aug 23, 2020

I'm looking but so far have not seen a 7-shot speed-loader for my 686+. Anyone know if it's offered (I'd have thought it is, but surprised i'm not finding it). If you have maybe a part or model number maybe that will make my search bring one up quicker.

Thanks!

I had HKS for my 686-6+ but they went with the gun when I sold it.

So far (and it's been ~25 years since the 686+ models came out) there are no 7-round Safariland speedloaders.

Consider SpeedBeez should you want to try a spring-loaded speedloader:

5 Star Speedloaders has them in aluminum. They also have a bench block which makes them easy to load.

Who removed the lug?

I use moon clips for the 7 shot, but also have the 5 Star.

It was a Stocking Dealer Exclusive. That's the way it came out of the factory.

The only ones I ever saw for a 686+ were from HKS.

That's all I have, here in Seattle Gun Stores.

Thanks to all for the responses. I have one HKS for the 686+, just thought maybe I'd try the Safariland after so many positive comments on it. Alas, there is no such thing, so HKS it is!

As far as I know safariland only makes six round loaders for the L frame. HKS is your best bet for a seven round.

They even stopped making them for the model 28 and 27. Finding used ones is like looking for hens teeth.

FYI... I just saw HKS speed-loaders for the model 27 on the bay. They look to be plentiful.

Thanks Vinny, I've been seeing those online but never used them. How are they? How's the long-term durability?

Easy to use and durable too. Simple spring-loaded design. Although, I also use Safariland Comp IIIs in my 686 SSR and like them very much. These are a must when doing "Wilson 5x5" drills with a revolver. hth
