Speedloaders!

[Erni]

So I when I got my speedloaders in the last century the loaders came with a 6 round post. They worked fine, but always bothered me. Updated posts were about $10 and with over 4 speedloaders....
Enter 3d printer, Blender software and calipers. 7 round post, reverse engineered with a nylock nut for security.
Here is the first set with an old pist for comparison.

Interesting. The only speedloaders I've ever owned or used were made by HKS and have a knob on top.

My revolver is cut for moon clips. So grab the rounds and the clips and off you go.

So a moon clip holder. Nice work on making your own 7 round plastic.

Why not a simple plain post? We used to stack our loaded clips two deep. Your segmented holder won't let you fidget spin.

This is what I have and what I carried for years on a duty belt. With practice, we were pretty quick reloading with no light and no looking at the weapon.

Speed loaders for rimmed cases and moon clips for rimless(not exclusive but typical)

With practice and drill reloads with both can be fast. There are a couple folks on this forum who compete with revolvers and can reload faster with moon clips than most of us can with a mag on semi auto.

I prefer round posts on my carriers just for the fidget factor(bad habit).

1. The CA Comp holders are tight on the clip and I was worried about clip damage.
2. I am trying to get good at Blender as a CAD tool, even though it's not really meant for it. (But its free, and with a bit of practice very fast for basic items)


You guys with the two on a post: ever reach for it and find it empty during a course.

And yes moon clips are stupid fast. Just ask Jerry. [emoji477]

That is a neat one. I am adding that one to the design and print que!

Belly overhang. And don't move fast.
