5 Star N8-357/38 Speedloader for S&W N-Frame, Ruger 8-Shot .357

It's good quality and super light. Fits the performance center 327 cylinder perfectly. Others say it's the best quick loader around, and while I can't confirm that since it's my first, it seems like a smart buy so far.

So far I am liking this item. I have tested it reasonably well. I have the speed bees loading dock and the loader p8cks everything up well . Locking all in a simple twist. And then releases again with a twist with out much effort . I found the speed bees to be a little bulky. And this is not. The machining of the part is good . And has good tolerances. . I am happy I bought this. The speed l9qding options or limited for 8 capacity revolvers. And with a loading dock this is very easy to do. I wish the speed bees was twist locking like this

For many years, no one made a reasonably priced speed loader for a .357/.38 special 8 shooter revolver such as the S&W 627. So when these Five Star Firearms 8 shot speed loaders became available I snapped up several of them. These are beautifully made speed loaders that are designed for, and work perfectly with, the S&W 627 revolver. While not cheap, they are worth the money. These speed loaders are made entirely of high-quality aluminum and thus are both light and strong. And they look terrific. They function perfectly when used with the S&W 627. Until these came along the only practical way to speed load a 627 was with moon clips. Moon clips have their uses, but at the range when firing a considerable amount of ammunition speed loaders are much more practical than moon clips, especially for .357 as there are no polymer moon clips (which are quicker to re-load, especially by hand) available in that caliber. These are a find, and I have bought and enjoyed several of them for use with my S&W 627. Highly recommended. RJB.

Works great is exactly what I needed

Would have given a five star if returning was easier. Had to make a special trip to ups to return

Excellent product. Does what it’s intended to do and doesn’t feel cheap like other plastic ones.

Good quality.

Great product. Warranted a five star ratings if not for the way to lock and release knob would be more ergonomical if it was reversed. ie. release turning counter clockwise. Otherwise excellent product.
