Speedloader info needed.

[calmex]

Well my HKS speed loaders & A-zoom snapcaps arrived today, & I am impressed. They are great. Excllent fit & function.
Thanks again to you all for your information.

What part of Manitoba? I was born and raised in Brandon until I moved down here 20 years ago.

Here, we are limited to revolvers of .38 Special or Autos of .380 or under, so even Canadian gunlaws look great from where I'm sitting. However, our weather is better here than yours is gonna be.

This forum is just great. The amount of information you can find out for the price of just logging in is mind-boggling.

sorry ,I meant in reference to their speedloader holders.

Ah! Can't speak to that. I never used either of them.

The Speed Beez carries custom made .22 speed loaders for the K and L frame S&W revolvers in both the 10 shot and the classic 6 shot as well as loading blocks you can order them off their website at www.speedbeez.com

Andy Griffith: excellent post with great information; however, one correction: Bianchi also makes a speedstrip for .44/.45 caliber. I have 2 I purchased recently for my .44 Special and .45ACP revolvers.

Speedloaders: I prefer the Safariland - I use the Comp I and Comp II without any problems except as noted earlier - Safariland doesn't make them for the newer model revolvers in different calibers.

Best of luck,

Dave

I don't see any real difference between them.

I'm pretty sure that this is true in competition. In daily carry, however, the Jetloaders are reasonable in size, whereas the Comp IIIs are not.

I think Bianchi came out with the .45 speed strip after I wrote that. I think they did because they had other makers cutting in on their business and finally saw they were losing money.

What is the address of the speed bee loader maker? I can't find an address on the website at all- I would recommend posting that as soon as it can be done. I never buy anything unless I can find a physical address on the website or from other users of it that I can verify. Likely, I guess it's a sight oversight on a new website.


If you haven't looked in a while, DS-10 speed has innovated a bit- they even have inserts for the triple Safariland speedloader holder in K-frame for the 10-shot speedloaders. Also, they have a new injection molded loader without metal in it. I prefer the metal myself, but that's me because I'm not worried about scratching anything.

I used HKS and Safariland when I had my Speed Six .357. I took each brand and tested some things: such as how they would hold up when tossed onto concrete. They both worked great in that department.
If you ever do carry them in your pocket, be advised that the HKS will drop the shells, into your pocket. You can inadventently spill the rounds out that way, because of the twist-knob release.
The Safariland is more secure that way, you have to push them onto the cylinder, to get them to drop.
