Recently DS-10 Speed Loaders sent me 5 of their new design to test them out compared to my older generations. I have 4 different sets of different configurations now and have 19 loaders all together.

Over that past few months I broke a couple of loaders while in my tight fitting shooter's bag. They were the original designed blue loader. I put all 19 in a plastic bag in my shooting bag and it's so tight that I broke the exposed nut on 2 of them.

All the others are working fine but the newest model is working best. It's easier to grab and to reload with it so to replace my old broken ones I ordered 3 of the new design today to keep my total for matches.

I also ordered a LPA rear sight for my S&W 617. The stock sight will not give me a consistent zero at 25 yards and is hard to see against my black front partridge front sight. I do you black sight spray and it helps but I want better adjustment capability.

With the new speedloaders my loads are almost as good as when shooting my centerfires with moon clips. That's a big advantage when shooting Steel Challenge and I actually needed to reload on two stages today. I need to concentrate on that front sight in the center of a blurred target. When I remember this I go 5 for 5.

I love the DS-10’s. I only have 5 though. Are you going back to shooting irons?

Reminiscent of the old Dade speed loaders with the external spring. I still have a couple that fit my Ruger Speed-Six.

I assume that the DS-10 is the only product in the line, only for the 617?

I've been shooting iron sights for past 2 months and having a real good time. I just got an LPA rear sight to replace my S&W one. I'll probably shoot iron sights for the rest of this year.

It takes a different focus and I'm really working on watching the front sight. When I do I have good runs.

AZ let us know how your LPA sight works out, I have one on my 6" 617 and I really like it but I had to do some milling on the LPA sight base to get the POI lower. I could have installed a taller front sight but I don't like tall front sights.

The DS-10 speedloaders are the best for .22 cal. I have several in 6 shot and 10 shot.

The LPA rear sight is my favorite one for a Smith revolver. I think they give the best sight picture.
