Stiff.....and slow - Pachmayr Competition Speed Loader 6-Shot S&W L Frame/Ruger GP100

I had high hopes for this as it is very PRETTY and of seemingly higher quality than the traditional plastic HKS speedloaders I've used for the last 30 years. Sadly this thing is a pretty but useless item. it's VERY stiff to work lock/unlock action which makes it a SLOW LOADER rather than a speedloader. So just save your money and get the standard HKS units. They aint shiny but they WORK!
