The bad reviews are from people that don’t know how to read instructions. Worked great for my j frame

I bought and tried a selection of speedloaders. I didn't expect much from these, given the price. The build quality doesn't seem good at all when you hold them in hand. And yet...after testing 4-5 models, I settled on these. I've yet to break one. And why would you throw $40 loaders on the concrete when you can buy (and replace, if needed) these for for less. They're the most functional and reliable of the ones I tried, and at the end of the day, that's all that matters -- not how they feel. I was very pleasantly surprised.

It is a very good speed loader if you take the trouble to use it the right way. You do NOT use the ejector to push up on the loader, just ridiculous. Just line up the rounds with the cylinder, like any other loader, and push it down, or to the cylinder firmly until it clicks releasing the rounds into the cylinder. Push the entire outer loader down, NOT THE BUTTON IN THE MIDDLE. When you push it down to the cylinder ALL THE WAY, the center of the speed loader contacts the cylinder pin, which pushes up on the speed loader release, releasing the rounds. The button in the middle is only for locking the ammo in the loader. I hold mine upside down with one hand and put the rounds in, with the other hand I push up on the button and rotate it clockwise which locks the rounds in. What is hard about that? It does say you can load it with the ammo tips down on a flat surface and do it upside down, this works just as well. As far as clearing the grips, this is as thin or thinner than any other speed loader. It is not the loaders fault, but the grips. It seems that the factory S&W grips weren’t really made to clear speed loaders. It can work, but is tight and makes you have to load the ammo at a slight angle to start. I put a set of the VZ black and grey grips on and the speed loader clears easily. Even the Crimson Trace green laser grips allows the speed loader to clear. Also, on the good side, the Safariland speed loaders hold the rounds much more tight than others making lining up the ammo in the cylinders very easy, and as others have said, no rattling around like some others. For me, I like these and the HKS loaders both, but the Safariland is easier FOR ME to use, I like the way you just push it in firmly without having to twist the knob and hold the cylinder from rotating.

Bin Jäger und habe mir den Speedloader für meine Nachsuchewaffe gekauft.Funktioniert prima. Die Patronen halten sicher bis sie in die Trommel eingesetzt werden.

Sorry for the alarmist title, but in the worst-case scenario, this loader could be the reason you end up in the ground.I own a S&W 638, it's a J Frame .38 with a 2" barrel, and I bought this to load it.I was unable to do so.I read the instructions (brief as they were), filled the speedloader, released the cylinder, and gave it a try.Nothing happened.As far as I can tell, you're supposed to line up the rounds with the cylinder, then push the ejector rod until it presses a release mechanism on the speedloader, dropping the shells into the chambers. After 5 minutes with no success in releasing a single round, I realized that I could have handloaded the gun a couple dozen times, and any threat that called for speedloading would have had 4 minutes and 55 seconds longer than I'm comfortable with.It must work on some revolvers, but it sure as hell doesn't work on the S&W 638. I don't think the ejector rod reaches far enough to hit the release, and the body of the item presses against the stock grip, so it doesn't line up parallel anyway.The question I have, regardless of whether it works on larger revolvers, is about the operation of the release:Assuming I just shot 5 rounds and wanted a reload, I'd drop the cylinder, push the ejector rod to clear the spent casings, then move my speedloader into place to refill it. I'm holding my gun in my right hand, and keeping the loader aligned with my left. Which hand is going to reach around and push the ejector rod? I personally had to prop the gun between my leg and the side of my right hand, using my right hand to hold the loader in place. Then my left hand was free to push the ejector rod. Again, after already ejecting the previous rounds.Why not a simple push button on the back of the loader, so you could hold it and release with the same hand?At best, you'll be 5 times faster just dropping in a round at a time. At worst, you'll have to fumble with the release so you can dump the rounds into your hand and you can drop them in one at a time. If you're carrying in public, you have to carry unloaded (in my state, anyway), so you need to be able to load in seconds.Either way, the only advantage of this item is that you can keep 5 rounds in your pocket without having them bounce around while you walk. And speed strips do the same job with a lower profile. And they actually load faster than dropping in one at a time.I'm sending this back, and I'm leaving a disclaimer that the manufacturer shamefully neglected to mention: this will not function properly with your small frame revolver, and you will be in a world of trouble if your safety depends on this speedloader.
