586 L comp speedloader

Do they exist? I checked Safariland and as far as I can tell, they don't make one for the 7 shot.

HKS and 5-Star are both of the twist-knob release - which, while faster than loading singly or from a speed-strip, is not as fast as the spring-loaded speed loaders like Safariland Comp III's and Jetloaders (neither of which make a loader for the 7-shot L-frame).

Google Speed Beez speedloaders. They make a 7-shot L-frame loader that appears to be spring-loaded (no personal experience). Or get your cylinder cut for moon clips.

Adios,

The 586 L Comp is cut for moon clips from the factory! No need to fool around with speedloaders, moon clips are simply the fastest way to load and unload your 586. Get some moon clips, and moon clip tool and you will be all set!

These folks will take very good care of you, they always do:
The Revolver Supply Company moon clips, loader, checker, holder

Thanks for the suggestions. The gun came with 2 moon clips but the rounds are kinda floppy in them which is why I asked about a speed loader. I guess certain brass doesn't mix well with certain clips so I guess I'll play around with different ammo.

Federal/Speer works best with the majority of moon clips. The rounds are supposed to be a little loose anyway. Just go to revolversupply.com and they will take care of you. Call them and they will set you up with the right moon clips. 38/357 comes in 3 different thicknesses.

Moons are much better than speedloaders. Once you use moons, you won't go back. I have over a dozen S&W revolvers. Just about all of them are cut for moon clips. For defensive use, nothing is faster than moon clips. As fast as loading a semi-auto pistol.

I haven't used moon clips before but they seem like a lot of trouble with the use of the tool. I'm sure I could learn with practice. BUT...

CAN you use speedloaders for the 586 L Comp? If so, which are best?

Moonclips work best with the shorter 6-shot 45's or 9mm's. The longer .357's on a flexible 7-round clip take extra concentration for alignment. The speedloaders are rigid and easier for me to reload.

The seven shot HKS is the 587-A.
