5 Star Speed loader issues

[bobby]

So I bought a couple of the 5 Star Speed loaders for my SW 30-1 32 sw long. Loaded them up tested them a few times no issues. Dropped them into my pocket and went about my day. Well 2 days later I hit the range for some self training. Run the cylinder reload run the cylinder reload well now the 2nd reload didnt go well one round was stuck in the 5 Star. yep it was bent. so no HKS it is,.,,

Opinions vary, but if you really feel the need for extra ammo, consider five (or six) loose rounds in an empty pocket large enough to quickly get your hand into. With a little practice, this works well for reloading just as it did years ago and you needn't deal with a bulky, not-easily-concealed speedloader that could be problematic.

I like speed strips. Not the fastest but, less fumbling and more positive for me.

Give them a call, their customer service is very good.
I've used 5 star for all the large calibers for years without issue.

Update they are a standup group... I got not 1 but 2 speedloaders to replace with no need to send the bent one back. they rock for sure
