Like spare magazines for a revolver!

The value you receive is excellent. I have over a dozen of these now for various revolvers. My problem was keeping track of which speed loaders fit specific revolvers. To address I now use a paint pen to place a red color dot on the Smith L Frame/Ruger GP speed loaders, and my 686+ (7-shot) gets a green dot. Colt gets a white dot. Hey, it works for me. Be mindful of the grips you use, because really thick/large grips can make it difficult to use speed loaders.

HKS speed loader

I picked up two of the model DS-A .38 Spec. (Colt detective, special, cobra, agent, D'Back) for my Enfield No. 2 revolver and they work great with it. I would get more.

Smith & Wesson 626 plus speedloaders

Work great. had a little difficulty with one as the 'lock' wouldn't engage to hold the rounds in...through some finagling, I got it to work. The rounds have to fit the 'goldilocks zone'. All in all, I would get some more.

Speed Loaders

I use this beand of reloaders many years ago. Now that I am retired, I still use them. Simple to use. Great prod!

Works well

These work well with revolvers that have standard size grips. Oversized grips may interfere with smooth operation. A little practice makes the reeload go smoother in either case. Much easier than trying to load single rounds in a pinch.
