10-A Revolver Speedloader for S&W 10,12,13,14,15,19,64,66,67/Taurus 606, 65, 66, 80, 82, Black

The HKS 10-A Revolver Speedloader works good enough for the Armscor / Rock Island Armory M200 4" barrel revolver. Note that it is not a perfect fit for the M200, but this particular speedloader does truly work with the M200. Let me explain. I have included several photographs with this review.If you notice in one of my photos, the M200 cylinder does not swing out far enough to clear the revolver's frame like how many other revolvers do. I assure you that it will be fine, it's just not perfect. When you attempt to load the M200 using this speedloader, you will not be able to insert the cartridges all the way like how you can with other revolvers. If you look at another photo that I uploaded, I tried to demonstrate how far you can insert the cartridges and you should see that the cartridges don't insert all the way into the M200's cylinder while you attempt to load the M200 with this speedloader. Once you get to this point, all you have to do is just turn the speedloader's knob clockwise, let gravity work for you, and the cartridges should fall into the M200's cylinder. As I said, it is not perfect, but it works.Originally, I bought only one of these speedloaders to try out first to see if it will function well enough to load my M200. Once I confirmed that the HKS 10-A does work for my M200, I bought a couple more and also four Bianchi Speed Strips. Obviously, the speedloader is the fastest way to load a revolver, but the speed strips are flat and not bulky to fit inside one's pocket and they still load a revolver faster compared to manually inserting cartridges with your fingers.I would say the quality of the HKS speedloaders are pretty good and I expect them to last a long time.

Carried two of these on my chest pack in Alaska with my sidearm. Functioned perfectly when training with them. No complaints.

As speed loaders go, this is not a mercedes, but it works well. Great for range use, everyday speed loading. The construction is a plastic outer guard (the black area) and aluminum clip and knurl. For the price the quality is excellent, and a great addition to a shooter's bag for the range. Although it's plastic, it is well made and sturdy, but I would recommend a full aluminum construction loader for professional service use.Pros:-Inexpensive, lighweight, easy to load.Cons:-Low cost material, not recommended for service use.A simple 'click to turn' locks loaded rounds in place, and a quick opposite turn drops them in. If you haven't used a speed loader before, this unit will drop the shells about 1/3 of the way into the cylinder, where you will twist to release them and then using gravity, allow the rounds to drop the remaining distance into the cylinder.Overall:HKS makes great products at an affordable price. At under $10 you can't go wrong with this addition to your shooting accessory bag.

Not sure why but these were mechanically better made 20 years ago. They look the same but the internal locking mechanism is not as smooth as in past manufacturing generations. 20 years ago, the knob would easily click lock and unlock effortlessly. Some of these (the last 4 I've ordered) are a bit sticky, meaning they don't unlock as effortlessly as in the past. It takes a drop of WD-40 into the center of the mechanism to get the locking mechanism to loosen up so that twisting the knob is effortless to quickly release the bullets into the cylinder. (In a defensive situation, you really can not afford a delay in loading your weapon). I still think they are among the best speed-loaders on the market, though a bit too expensive at $14-$19 a pop. I am surprised that China has not started making these and selling them for $2.50 ea. Otherwise, they get the job done.

High quality and works well for wheel guns.

Cartridges stay in place until released and slide in perfectly

Bought this in spite of so many negative reviews. But I didn't want to pay $30.00 for the other brands. I bought two of these HKS Speedloader's for my S&W Model 65 .357. They do exactly as advertised. When you load the bullets, hold them in the palm of your hand, pressing them into the speedloader, and turn the knob locking them into place. When ready to reload, open the cylinder empty the spent rounds and align the speedloader, twist the knob and they all drop effortlessly into the cylinder. I have had no issues whatsoever. None with them coming loose in the carrying pouches. The only thing I would suggest is when pulling them out of the pouches, don't grab them by the release knob. And you shouldn't have any problem. So for me, not only a good value, but a good product and one I recommend. Lastly, no issues getting the loader into the cylinder as I've read in other reviews. At least for my Model.
