Gents,
What are your opinions on the best brand of speed loaders? (Redhawk .44)
Thanks for the input. __________________

hillbilly68,
I have had best luck with the HKS brand of speedloaders. I have them for all my revolvers. | |

I use the HKS brand. They do a pretty good job. | |

Hello all
RON L here = SERESURPLUS'
I have used and like HKS as they are more common and do work wel! I have had a few Safariland Models for my Model 65 and my Model 28 and they were just as good, easier to use and a bit harder to find and a lot more expensive! | |

Hello All/Question to Borris
RON L here = SERESURPLUS
What are Jetloaders? I've not seen them here or anywhere else? I did use to like "Bianchi Speed Strips"! These were simple rubber strips and held 5-6 shots of 38/357! The discontinued them years back, you see them on some of the auction sites from time to time? Were those like these? | |

I have always used HKS for all my double action hand ejectors. | |

HKS loaders are the only ones I've ever found, apart from speed strips. __________________

Ron they are similar to the Bianchi spring loaded speedloaders, but they where on the market over here earlier and overtook the HKS in popularity. They are rugged but a little bulky. But they are the fastest reloader I have used, I use Speedstrips for my SP101 simply for convienence and I often snakeloads.... | |

I have both HKS and Safariland loaders. I prefer the Safariland comp 1's and 2's because:
They hold the rounds in the proper alignment for the cylinder. The HKS loaders have a lot of wobble and require a different technique. (tilt loader, insert the noses of two rounds, tilt the loader to get the other 4 in alignment, push in, turn knob "which way was that again?")
Simpler to release rounds. Insert, press, let drop free.
I have speed strips for the hide out back up gun. They lay flat inside the trauma plate pouch of my body armor carrier.
I practice with both my autos and revolvers. I can reload my 629 faster than 95% of the people can reload a 1911. My timed splits are about 3 seconds. I am not Jerry Miculek nor will I ever be that good (sub 1 second splits). But I have production guns (unmodified cylinders) w/production speed loaders (no moon clips). I do not feel out gunned with a revolver. Firepower is not round count, it is power. Six good hits beat spray and pray every time. | |
