So when I purchased my new Ruger GP100 357 Magnum I knew right where to go. I purchased 12ea Safariland GP100 Speed Loaders and as expected they work great!!
I highly recommend the Safariland brand for anyone with a revolver, you will not be disappointed.
Flaw. The push knob has a sharp rim, and it is a stiff, clockwise turn to lock cartridges in, so I sanded it down a bit, and it is much more comfortable to use.
Impediment. Locking requires more strength than my arthritic hands like, but manageable. Should be no problem for healthy hands.
Loading requires a firm push on the body to release cartridges, but when it clicks, cartridges easily fall into the chambers. Clearly no compromise on alignment with cylinder chambers.
Diameter is less than any other speed loader I have seen. That makes it easier to line up and drop cartridges in the tight spaces encountered in many revolvers.
After practicing with it for a while, I found out why it is so well-liked. For the price, perhaps any price, it can’t be beat. I just compared it to the two, other popular speed loaders, one 4x more expensive, and the Safariland was by far the fastest.
Also, unlike other speed loaders I’ve tried, the Safariland makes it easy to unload as well.
It IS NOT flimsy; it is molded plastic, feels firm, and appears to have the potential for 100s of reloads.
However, the great feature of holding the cartridges tighter than say a HKS speed loader, they are also a tiny bit harder to line up to the cylinders. The "floppiness" of the rounds in the HKS is a little more forgiving with reloading under stress.
I have practiced with HKS to where I can reload faster than I can with an auto, even without looking. I have not (so far) be able to do that with these loaders. The HKS's twist release, while not as secure, is actually a little easier to operate than the press into the cylinder release these offer.
With that having been said the loaders are still fast, and are of very high quality. They do not seem to be as prone to leaving you with a pocket full of loose cartridges as the HKS occasionally does, and for that alone for the CCW crowd should probably use this style loader.
Keep in mind I have also been practicing for years with the HKS style, and these are new to me, so that this for what it's worth.
Therefore based on that I went with the HKS. Simpler loading, seemed roughly similar in effort for unload but not similar in how its done.
I wanted a couple more speedloaders so I bought a couple COMP IIs.
Loading the revolver with the Comp II is like night and day. Much much simpler and quicker. They keep their alignment better than the HKS and the COMP II releases the shells much cleaner and easier. Not that the HKS is hard, just different. Where the HKS has some issues is over time the shells are not held tight and getting them lined up with the revolver can take a little wiggling.
Now for the original reason the HKS was bought. The COMP II process for loading new shells. The videos I saw had you put new shells in, place your hand over the end of the shells holding them in place, then quickly turning them upside down over a flat surface, then press down and twist. HKS you just load them up and turn knob. Seemed much simpler which it is.
I found though if you simply load up the shells in the COMP II put the shell ends against the heel of your hand, flit over and apply slight pressure and twist it works just fine without the acrobatics of getting the shells on a flat surface.
After working this out there is no competition between these two products from design and use.
I can't speak for durability yet though.
So far HKS would get a 3.5 out of 5 and COMP II a 5 out of 5. Much better.
Since they unload differently for personal defence I dont think you would want to use both. For recreation I dont really see an issue with having both as you are not trying to learn a repetitive task quickly.
I like the HKS, I love the COMP II.

Für mich unbrauchbar, da schon beim Test in aller Ruhe die Patronen nicht in die Trommel gleiten wollten.
In seltenen Fällen hat es funktioniert. Die Zentrierung der Patronen im Speedloader ist mangelhaft.
Möchte mich im Wettkampf oder Notfall nicht darauf verlassen.
