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

this item really looks great nice and shiney made with some real quality a good value and is easy to use looks very durabble fit is a little tight but managable

I just received. Lightweight aluminum, but it appears to be machined well locks the ammo in and releases as intended. I haven't noticed, nor does the company advertise, that this speed loader will also work for the Taurus 608. I have tested it for the Ruger Redhawk and the Taurus 608 and the speed loader feeds both cylinders smoothly. Sure beats using moon clips.

I have not used them yet but they appear to be of good quality.

Fantastic workmanship, loads my Tarus 608 flawlessly! Looks and works fantastic!

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.

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

I generally don't write reviews but felt the need to compliment this product. I have tried every speed loader on the market and have found this one to be the very best in quality and functionality. Some reviews talk about the rounds being wobbly or lose in the loader but this actually gives just enough play for the loader to drop into the cylinder before you release the rounds. The counter clock wise knob is much better for opposite hand reloads and the all metal design is tough enough for dropping the loader with out getting damaged by the fall. I have all ready bought 2 more. Thanks for a great product.

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.
