[QUOTE="1911user, post: 1258237, member: 543"] If Safariland makes a speedloader for something, I have no interest in any other offering especially those from HK (which I have used). Safariland model 2 speedloaders are nice for general use (model 1 is a more compact version). The model 3 (aka comp 3s) are competition (only) oriented where they actually use springs to push the shells into the cylinder instead of relying on gravity like the model 1 and 2 (normal use speedloaders). The comp 3s are also about double the height of normal speedloaders. With the HK series, you [U]must[/U] hold the cylinder then twist the release knob. With the Safariland ones, just push them forward to release into the cylinder; no holding the cylinder required and no certain place on the speedloader that must be held or twisted. What would I use? For carry, Safariland model 2 then 1 in that order. For competition, comp 3s, I guess, but I don't plan to shoot a S&W 625 in any form of competition. For deep concealed carry of a 38 snubby, I have and would use Bianchi speed strips. They're slower to reload with but make a small, discrete package no speedloader can compare with. [/QUOTE]
