HKS 22-HR Revolver Speedloader for H&R 9-Shot, Taurus 94 Black

Cheap, simple, works. Bear in mind it's the first revolver speed loader I've ever used, but it's great. It does it's job, and vastly improves chambering one round at a time on my H&R 9-shot (break action type). Play around with it to get the feel, of course. After breaking open my gun, I hold it by the top of the barrel with my fingers around the cylinder to keep it from rotating. After inserting the rounds as far as they'll go, roughly 1/3 the way in, I hold the sides of the speed loader to rotate the aluminum nob, then gently back it off the top of the shells so it doesn't pull any out. Most of the time I have to push some of the rounds completely in so they're seated all the way, but that's probably a bad cleaning issue on my part. Like I said though, far faster and better than fiddling with one round at a time, and dealing with things like dropping them in the process.

I keep buying these whenever I get the chance. I wish the price didn't keep increasing. The first one I got was around $7.99. It's nice to have a quick load for range days. I keep one with shot shell in it just in case. Can't really say much, the quality is okay, seems like it's turned from delrin and the knob is aluminum. Every one I've received has had varying levels of finishing on them. One was particularly rough but I sanded it down. Very fast aid for reloading, and fun to use!

I purchased a couple of these speedloaders to jazz up my shooting experience with a High Standard Sentinel Imperial, and find them to function just as intended, with no hanging up as the rounds are aligned. Do note that you will likely have to push the low-mass cartridges home after dumping them from the loader, even more so after shooting for a little while as .22 revolvers tend to foul up in short order, but you'll still have a much faster reload than 1-at-a-time 9 times, and with far less fiddling and chance of dropping a loose round for those with big hands.

Basic line is, it's ok. Since you have to turn the knob to unload it, it requires two hands, and that's after you've used both hands to line up the ammo to fit into the cylinder. It's still faster than manually reloading. But, unless you've got a few dozen of these lined up to go - it's probably better to just hand load anyway. Especially at $10 a pop per speed loader. A better method would be push to release - but I'm guessing that the method they use of a rotating teeth is far cheaper than that. In the end, yea, it's an ok product for a niche fun gun. I would like to see if it is possible to have a version of this with a more recessed locking pin so that it can be pushed flush to the cylinder for reloading, maybe even a version with some sort of spur or bar on the exterior diameter that locks against the top frame and allows one handed operation of the rotating knob to release the shells.

Works for my Higgins

I’m not surprised that these work well, I have 2 made by the same company for my H&R model 925 so when I got an H&R model 904 it was a no brainer to get some for that and yes they work great. Will keep buying these type of speed loaders for all my revolvers

I am an old cop. So old in fact that when I began on the job we were armed with the Smith and Wesson Model 19 in .357 Magnum. Well as my career went on, I saw the use of the wonder 9's come and, well fail many. Then I went to .45 ACP for Duty. At any rate, I retired and well just had a bit of love for the old wheel guns that we all started with in the 70's. Now my father had a revolver that he carried on his trap line when we were on the farm, it was a Smith and Wesson 22-32 kit gun, and I loved that little revolver but dad never let me play with it. Fathers are like that I guess. So last year when I went to the local Gun Show, I found a Taurus Model 94 new old stock that is a clone of the old smith. Picked it up for about twice what I thought it should cost. When I carried the 19 we carried speed loaders when they came out so I wanted that option for my Taurus. This model speed loader was said to work, and when they arrived, they were a perfect fit. I now carry them for reloading when I decide to go armed with a .22 instead my heavy old M1911A1. This when I am going to small town America, for Big City shopping, I still go with the old M1911A1. It was good enough for America in 2 world Wars, Korea and Vietnam, it is sure capable of defending me on America's mean streets. 230 Grain Hardball is good feed for the old war horse and, well good enough for today's miscreants.

The speed loader was just what I was hoping for.
