Unless you modify the grips on the cylinder swing out side. These cylinders are too close to the frame to allow any speed loader to function unless you're willing to cut out the grips. to accommodate them. Like someone else mentioned you will want to put a string on the cap that covers the rounds if you plan to use this for personal protection. This will allow you to get the cap off quickly should the need arise. I still prefer the Safariland speed loaders but these work just fine.

These speed loader are so easy to use if you complain about these in any way shame on you these do have a small bullet shake when locked into the holder but that a good thing it makes for it to line up in cylinder for ammo to drop in could not be no simpler speed loader then this I use it on a Ruger sp101 2.25 barrel and it works great and it's has a hogue grip install sometimes I may have to move it a little to get ammo to drop in but that not a problem load the loader line it up when it stops push down on the case holding the bullets not the center the case you will hear a click bingo pull off they fall in practicing a little you be a pro these are so easy to use now as far as long long they last I say as long as the gun will .lol no they seem to be well made they are light but work well get your you will not be disappointed.

I bought a Charter Arms Undercover as a inexpensive tertiary sidearm. The cylinder does not open out completely to clear the plastic grips. This has the slimmest profile of any speed loader that I've been able to find. It works, but I still have to 'jiggle' it to load. I'll be replacing the grips. The loader itself has a lot of play when loaded. So if you're looking for a quite loader, this isn't it. I bought it because of the profile and price -- just in case it wouldn't work with my .38. I don't know how long the cover will last after I attach a pull string to it. Trying to get the cover off without a pull string kind of defeats the purpose of a speed loader. If you're looking for an inexpensive loader and don't care about the rattle of bullets, this is it.

Great product and the ONLY speed loader that works on the GREAT Ruger LCR. The Safariland Comp I speedloaders were my go-to speedloaders for my little five-shot S&W J'Frames, but they don't fit the GREAT Ruger LCR. These Revision CV Ammo Pod Speedloaders DO NOT let the rounds go while in your pocket and work just like my Safariland Comp I speed loaders. Very fast with an automatic release once the rounds are partially in. You can put them in your pocket without the cover on. but if you do use the cover, which is not a bad idea, you can tie a small string to the bottom of the speedloader with the other end attached to your belt loop cover so that when you draw the speedloader out of your pocket it pulls the cover off. Shown in my pocket holster and GREAT NEW bellyband holster that will become part of my CDC.

This is similar to the safariland speedloader. You simply press the loader into the cylinder and it ejects the rounds. And it’s way easier than the safariland to load all you do is put the rounds in facing up and push the little plunger on the other side and and it locks them in. So why the lower score? It’s the bulkiest of the 3 loaders. It LOOKS like it’s be the least bulky since it’s a flower shape rather than a perfect circle but because the holes fit the rounds are looser and the plastic is thicker than the other two, the overall size is bigger. Meaning it’ll interfere more with the frame grips than the other two which are almost exactly the same dimensions. And because of this too the rounds are super loose and jingle a lot, making a ton of noise but also making it harder to line the rounds up in the holes. The HKS one is my favorite. It keeps the rounds as snug as safariland and is super easy to load unlike the safari which is a pain. But it also needs that little twist to finish ejection and it’s possible that can come undone in your pocket. So for combat use as long as you already have them loaded, safari is clear winner. No extra step just push the loader in and it ejects the rounds, it’s the smallest in all dimensions and it doesn’t rattle. But loading it is a pain. HKS for fun range use, safari for conceal carry or home defense. This one is just a worse safariland loader imo. And it’s the most expensive loader! ———————— I think it has the potential to be the best one tho: if they took this mechanism which is just as good as the safari but without the drawback of being a pain to load, but slimmed the diameter shell down, just use the circle one they have or thin the plastic down AND reduce the size of the holes for the rounds so they don’t rattle! Honestly this flower shape makes it stand out but it also has the drawback that the rounds can clack against each other since there isn’t a clear division between them the rounds. I think it was a good thought maybe but in practice the flower shape is worse.

The speed loaders work perfectly in the five shot J frame. The body of the speed loader is thin enough to clear the frame and grip so that the round seat better into the cylinder. The push function release makes it easy to drop the rounds in and if your pistol is pointed downward when reloading all you have to do is pinch the center post with your loading hand and pull up and the rounds will drop right into place. They’re very fast and the function works good when reloading without looking at the pistol or in the dark. They’re also durable enough to drop after a reload without damage from hitting the ground multiple times. I use them for both 38 caliber and 357 magnum and have not seen any issues from either As far as hanging up when loading. There is just enough movement or slight rattle in the rounds to help them find their place in the cylinder when loading as opposed to loaders that hold the rounds firmly which makes it more difficult when loading quickly or on the fly. I can’t speak for other manufacturers but for Smith & Wesson J frame these are by far the best I have used and I have tried them all. You also can’t beat the price.

I have 10 of the 8 shot 22LR ones and love, love, love them. This is pure junk. It's going back.

I'm honestly surprised to find that I like this revision cv .38 Special/.357 Magnum Ammo Pod for S&W J-frames and Ruger LCRs as well as I do. I've used HKS speedloaders since the mid-Eighties and Safariland Comp IIs since the early Nineties as well as zeta6 J-Paks and J-Clips, CKT Tactical Ripcords, Bianchi Speed Strips, DeSantis Swift Strips and the 5 Star aluminum speedloaders for this style/size revolver. My previous preferences were the Safariland Comp IIs, the zeta6 J-Clips and J-Paks and they're all good, but Mr. Vang has a product here that beats all of these for my use. Simple, FAST, easy to operate, trustworthy and reliable - and also priced decently and available. I don't find that the rubbery cover pops off as quickly as it might, but it was easy to address the issue with some strategic lubrication and better too tight than too loose! Locking the ammo into the clips is MUCH simpler and faster than even on the one-piece zeta6 products and just seems impossible to mess up when compared to the Safariland Comp II. While all these devices are reasonably quick to load a cylinder, the revision cv Ammo Pod is the fastest for me. The fact that it works just fine with both a J-frame and an LCR is a real bonus for me, too. I intend to buy more now that I've tried this one out.
