Safariland VS HKS Speed Loaders
I want to get a couple speed loaders for my S/W J frame. After doing my due diligence, I am torn between Safariland and HKS. HKS seems more popular, but one blogger said Safariland was easier to use. Can anybody who has used both recommend one over the other?

They're both good while some feel the Safari is faster and they are clearly smaller. Still, a lot of us use the Bianchi speed strips. Anyway, I ordered 2-two many of the Safari's for a friend who then opted out. If you're interested, PM me for details. Yes, they are "new" .38 Comp I for the J.
Regards,

Does anyone know which of the Safariland speed loaders will work for the Rossi .357 Magnum? Its a Rossi 462.

If it has the Hogue grips - no. Mine has them and they are to wide to accept the speed loader - I use Bianchi Speed Strips.

The grips do not say Hogue. There seems to be a cut out in the grip where the thumb would go (right handed) and it seems the speed loader would work here.
Do the speed strips load two bullets at a time? Ive never used em. That may be an option too.
