    Default Speedloaders!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
