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.

Good speed loader. As far as I know, it’s virtually indestructible

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.

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.

.38 works fine, but won’t unlock loading .357 into ruger lcr when I pushed it.

I really wanted to like this because the idea is great. I especially like the idea of the cover so that I can put the speed loader into a pocket for concealed carry.The problem is the one noted by other people. It just won't work with a S&W J frame in .38 Special.I tried if first with a 642. That gun has thicker Delta Ergo grips, and I couldn't even get the rounds to load into the cylinder because the walls of the cartridge holder bound against the frame. It took a while for me to unstick the speed loader and I never got it to work.Then I tried on my Mdl 36-1. That has thinner OEM Magna grips. It worked after a fashion, but it took me about ten seconds to get the speed loader into position, drop the cartridges into the cylinders, and then release them from the holder. Even then, the walls of the speed loader rubbed up against the frame and there was a likelihood that it would damage the bluing.So, I'll return them and use either the HKS speed loaders or one from "Quickloader."Close, but no cigar.
