3.0 out of 5 stars
Does not work well with ANY Ruger LCR...,
By gh (sacramento, ca usa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: HKS Revolver Speedloader with Caliber .38/357 (Sports)
First off, I love these in the 6-shot versions. They seat all the way in & does its job well. Great for nightstand...
In the 5-shot version, I read that Ruger LCR with Hogue tamer grips don't work well. I have a Ruger LCR with the Boot grip. There are no issues with the loader getting hung-up on the grip (like the Tamers). The problem is that the 5-shot spacing is not identical to the Ruger. Thus, the further the speedloader is seated, the results are your casings getting wedged in the cylinder. For best results, seat the ammo about 1/3 of the way down -- anything further & you can really get wedged in. To simulate a stress situation, I pushed the loader in deeper... the results were that when I twisted the release knob, the rounds did not drop in the cylinder... & I had to finesse the loader off the wedged rounds. If you force the loader free, a couple rounds could easily come back out & drop (leaving you with a randomly filled cylinder). While these work well enough for range time, beware of its limitations for CC use or other stressful fire situations. On the plus side, I've become much faster & comfortable with my Bianchi Speedstrips ;) P.S. If you are looking for Ruger LCR speedloaders, be aware that these are the SAME ones that Ruger currently sells on their own website. I recommend waiting (& hoping) that some manufacturer makes a better fitting loader.

Does not do what it is supposed to with S&W J frame,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I own a S&W 642 J frame. This speed loader fails to do its job. While the literature states that it fits my weapon, this is entirely false. I have the factory stock grips on the weapon, and the speed loader gets jammed against the grips. It is anything but a speedy load. In fact, it will get you dead. I have unfortunately found that the fiddling with this speed loader to extract it after loading takes substantially longer than simply loading in five shells into the cylinder by hand. I am trying out some Bianchi Speed Strips (also sold here on Amazon) and will rate those soon. But in the meantime, do not expect this speed loader to work with the 642 or any other J frame. It will not, and if you take your safety and that of your family seriously, please do not purchase this product.

Oldie but goodie,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: HKS Revolver Speedloader with Caliber .38/357 (Sports)
A must have for revolver owners. Fit is a bit tight on five shot revolvers and you should consider the size of your grip when purchasing as it can get in the way.
Positive cartridge retention and easy to grip and turn knob.
