60 Pro grips on J-frames - speedloader use

[Stainz]

I was asked about the function of speedloaders with my J-frames now sporting the 60 Pro grips, S&W Accessories SKU #411740000. From the upper left below, CCW, they are: 3" 60 Pro; 2 1/8" 632 Pro; 5" 63; 4" 651; 3" 63:

The below speedloaders/ammo worked with the listed revolvers, again, from the upper left, now above, CCW:

60 HKS #36/+P 158gr LHPSWC
632 Pro HKS #32/115gr Gold Dot .327 Fed Mag
63 (5") DS-10 63/317/CCI Stingers .22 LR
651 HKS #51-J/Horn 45gr Crit Def .22 WMR
63 (3") DS-10 63/317/CCI Stingers .22 LR

Loading was done 'blind' - revolver in right hand, speedloader in left hand. All were equal in effort & speed - or lack thereof. Practice would definitely help. I keep speedloaders and moonclips loaded with home defense ammo - for all of my revolvers - in the safe or not.

Thank you for the information. I have the 632 carry comp and the 632-2 pro. The pro will be pocket carry and the carry comp in a holster strong side if the mood strikes me.

For a change of pace sometime I might carry my S&W 908 single stack 9mm and pocket carry the ruger lcp for back up.
