Sorry Evonge, but I don't think your going to be seeing any of those any time soon. Bianchi and HKS are the two main manufacturers of speed loders and strips, and I don't think they make those.
I think the biggest loaders I've seen have been for .45LC.
Nobody makes, or is likely to make, speedloaders for the X-frame Smiths simply because there is no market for them. It would be cost prohibitive for anyone to design and manufacture them, because the ROI wouldn't justify the costs.
The X-frames were designed, and are marketed as, hunting revolvers. How many scenarios can you think of where a speedloader would be necessary on a hunting trip?
Hmmm ........ I rather doubt it because usual construct on speedloaders employs plastic moulding techniques - plus the need for incorporating the hold/release mechanism.
I am an (old) engineer and reckoned I could usually make about anything but ... yes the ''but'' - bottom line would be a prohibitive price possibly. Could maybe be made out of a solid chunk of nylon, machined and drilled but then - the problem of the mechanism.
Right now I am feeling your quest may well be difficult if not impossible for all practical purposes.
I think it might be possible to construct a "speed strip" easier than a speed loader. Probably start with a piece of rubber, maybe reinforced with some nylon (think like an insole for a tennis shoe). You could cut a .500 sized hole in it, and peel it away to load.
Good lord man, you carry that thing? Concealed? I must have skiped over that the first time I read this post. How do you carry it? Curious.
