TheSurlyOne from United States, IL Public Profile

Ultimately this product will be a training tool for me as I have found speed strips to be better for my individual use. HOWEVER, this comes after testing multiple manufacturers speed loaders and I have found the HKS to be at an excellent cross section of value/cost and performance.

Light, compact, and preferable to moon clips for reliability. Cartridge lock up is superior to most and when activated cartridges drop freely. YMMV, but failure to have cartridges drop free is probably going to be interference between the revolvers stocks (i.e., “grips”), your hand, and the angle of attack of the rounds entering the cylinder. This can be especially problematic with J-frame and similar sized revolvers due to the relative size of the crane.

Enjoyable to use with L-frame and larger revolvers. I would pay more for a high-vis version rather than wrapping mine in green tape to make easier to find when dropped on the range.

I bought this to stop having to need to use the US Army issue binoculars. While those are of excellent quality and have a ranging reticle in them they are quite large and heavy. This monocular gives me the same range estimation capability in a fraction of the size and weight. While one could argue that you can have a laser range finder do the same, more conveniently than mil for math. However, I appreciate the lack of batteries.
