Title: Speed Loader Question
Post by: ZEN on March 08, 2008, 03:37:12 PM: I just bought an average speed loader to give me some aid in loading my SW629. It works fine but it has a quality that rose a question. When I lock in the shells there is enough play that they basically wiggle in their holes when I shake it gently. This was a $8 loader and I'm just happy that it makes loading easier but for the guys that shoot for times with a reload here's the question.

Is there a loader that has a "tighter" feel/design. Is the wiggle necessary to find the cylinder chambers for a quick loading? I could see that being the case. If the loader was too tight you'd have to line it up PERFECTLY every time. Just wondering.
