Speed Beez® 8 Shot (38/357) Speed Loader

After my initial practice use I was confused. "I spent all of this money on junk!" With that disappointment I loaded my revolver again. WOW! I was blown away at how fast I could reload a 8-shot revolver. I became faster by aligning the rounds up with the holes and popping the top of the speed loader. The Speed Beez loader flew off and I was able to close the cylinder and be up ready to fire. I'm glad I purchased three Speed Loaders. It's a 1,000 times improvement over loading six rounds and having to twist to release the rounds. Outstanding product.

Works great! Took some practice to get it down, but it does the trick for my S&W 327.

I purchased four of these for my S&W PC R8 They are a little tight when loading. The cylinder release just gets in the way little bit. With practice though loading and reloading becomes pretty quick. You can hit the release 3/4 the way in the cylinders, the rounds slip right in place and you're back on target. These are a lot easier loading than moon clips and make reloading at the range simple.

There are not many speed loaders for the S&W 327, but speed beez nails it for the most part. They are not ideal for pocket carry, due to lack of a locking system, but they seem to be faster in that reguard, no mechanism to fumble with. Just align and slap it home and get back to business. The only gripe I have is with the rounds tightness tolerances in the loader were higher. Getting them aligned under stress can be a chore on that cylinder, but with practice you'll get used to the slop. I feel these were made for competitive shooters, so for edc, you may want to look at one of the other companies but all in all, they work well.

Love it!, It's a simple push in mechanism that saves time for the reload. It doesn't shake at all, but it does take some practice to load it. Overall, LOVE it since there is no repetitive turning like the turn reloaders. You can't accidently push it and lose all your rounds. The only thing is it's a bit... pricey... and it lacks some kind of belt holster. The only solution is putting it in your pocket, make that your cargo pockets. Love it, but I hope that this reduces more in price so I can get more. updated: 9/19/16 2-3 star rating. This fits more of the smith and wesson 327. This has some slight problems with the smith and wesson 627... in fact, it scratched the left side =(. The 627 pc and this reloader have a slight matching issue. I asked the seller for replacement springs due to some dings and hits when reloading resulting in a less grip on the bullets... seller did not reply. I am assuming the seller wants you to buy another one. Honestly, reloading with these make me so focused on holding on to the reloader (it's so expensive) that my speed is affected. I'll say that the seller listened and made holders for these which is useful. Otherwise, go for the 5star speed loaders. they are light, cheaper, despite the shaking sound of bullets in the 5star speed loader, I don't mind losing them because they are cheaper. But nonetheless, these are great, but beware if you do own a smith pc 627, it will scratch your gun =( Edit November 4,2016. Star rating 1: I'm angry at my 627 being scratched.... product is horrible if you own a 627. Buy the 5 star reloaders insteaad.

Due to the thickness of the black plastic surrounding the spring, it does not work properly for a SW 327. After dremeling the grip and the black plastic on the Speed Beez, I was able to force it to work. But is certainly cannot be described as a "speedloader" for this gun. It still is too snug to easily pass the grip and cylinder release. I'd return it but I used a Dremel on it. Oh well, it's now a "range toy" instead of a "competition tool".

It will not work on the Ruger 8 shot 357 mag. You need to make that clear in the ad

A very well made product. I use for the super GP100 8 round. I prefer this to moon clips.
