HKS 586-A Revolver Speedloader for S&W 586, 686, 581, 681/Ruger GP100 (Two Pack)

These HKS speedloaders are basically perfection for what they are. I use them for revolver carry/range use, and they do exactly what I need without being complicated, fragile, or gimmicky. The fit is right, the rounds hold securely, and the release is smooth once you get the motion down. They make reloads much faster and cleaner than handling loose rounds, especially with a revolver like a 686, GP100, or similar pattern. I like gear that just works, and these do. No drama, no weird design choice, no overthinking. Just a solid, proven speedloader that does the job. The two-pack also makes sense because one speedloader is never enough. If you run a compatible S&W or Ruger revolver, these are worth having. Simple, reliable, and hard to improve on.

Works well, but they are plastic.

High quality product basically unchanged for 30 years plus. The gold standard in speed loaders

These were a perfect fit for my Ruger GP100 357 Mag. I bought 2 packs giving me 4 speed loaders

I got a big old smithy 686 roller , and I'm moon clippy or mag pushing Gotta send the 686 in get it tooled-up for moon clips . Till then grabbed these for a twist to give um ah try . I'm right handed so I have to work 🙄 cylinder eject with the left, find on the over and drop with the right . They want to hit the wood edge of the grip , ya aa goin have ta do something bout that. Then they stick half way , that was unnerving, but I reached and gave it a twist and in they went right in and it rolled over my wrist ok as I rolled the cylinder closed with my left thumb 👍 😐 Ha ha , take some gettin used too, too. I'm used to seeing them Boogers disappear on the drop and I'm rolling closed . I lost a second or 2 there easy . Ooo Course it was my first time . Gettin better , but , and these are a lot faster then I thought . If I'd try to stop weirding out over how they just stick there and get some continuation to the movement. It's the twist roll and flip . The release , drop to the grip as the thumb does it's work . Thinking 🤔 to much bout the flip , just let it roll away as your thumb comes away headed for the grip as your left thumb 👍 does it's work . What was it she said , can ya chew gum and rub yur tummy at the same time ?? . Smarty pants . See 👀, I'm using practice rounds too , 38s cause you get 12 for the same money and the weight difference is insignificant, but 357 live seems to want hit the grip more and stick higher. Where 38s tend to go deeper into the cylinder. Mmm least seems that way for me . These babies will tune ya up , I like the idea 💡 😏 when I send the ol 686 in for a tool up , these will make me alot better prepared for rollin the 686 with moonies. It's the right hand as your coming up with your thumb catching the lip on the speed loader holster , you have to dig and line up for the over drop and achieve the proper elevated angle going over hand spread, 3 fingers and a thumb , poke and twist drop back with your right as your left rolls the cylinder closed your right gets some grip 😉 I ,1 thing , I'm having alot ah fun 😁 😂 These will get you goin , they have a good hold to them as with , their jingly but tight , don't go thinking there going to pop the puppies out all over, you don't have time , just go with it . Get some all steel practice rounds and get used to just poking them and twist. Like a top , no not the pretty orange or yellow noses, the weight it in the back , I know they look like Lazer beam bullies . Get some , but practice with the steelies. If I can do this , , you can do this I , keep thinking I'm going to knuckle the barrel and tea total the pinky . Doesn't matter , if you pet the gun , you pet the gun , it likes it . But I've got neuropathy so I'm doing good , really. So , rock and roll And have you a good er day 😊

So, I had a S&W model 19, 357 magnum of which HKS 10A speedloader fit perfectly. However, I bought a new S&W 686-6 357 magnum of which the HKS 10A speedloader still worked but the bullets did not seat flush with the cylinder when inserting the speedloader. So, I looked up the specs with HKS and saw that for S&W 686, the HKS 586-A was the correct loader. So, I thought, "ok, with the 586-A, the bullets will sit flush in the cylinder with this speedloader". FALSE!!! There is virtually no difference. The bullets go about half way into the cylinder before your turn the knob to release the bullets into the cylinder. I can see virtually no difference in the function of HKS 10A and HKS 586-A. Moral of the story: Do not replace your speedloaders when you buy a new gun until you physically check to see if they still work REGARDLESS of what the HKS specs may say. For this model of gun, HKS 10-A or 586-A seem to work equally well. If 10A is cheaper buy it. Also, for those that have a RIA M200, know that HKS 10-A works in that model gun too. Cartridges seat about half way in the gun's cylinder, before you turn the knob to release the bullets. I still find HKS to make the best speedloaders. (I still have and use my first HKS speedloaders 10-A from 1982 and they look as good and work as well as the new ones--that is 40+ years and still as good as new. A++

Cheap plastic but they work just fine. I’m wondering how they will hold up long term

There are faster speed loaders out there, but I have yet to find one that is as durable as HKS. My Safariland ones break, but I have 25-year-old HKS 586's that work as well as the day I got them. These are additional one for my students when I teach revolver skills

Exactly what I was looking for.
