Using Speedloaders with J-frame?

[wlc]

I have several speedloaders for my Taurus "J" frame copy. I haved turned down the outside of a couple of them, modified the grips, and reshaped the cylinder release. They still don't work very well. I'm going to try speed strips for extra ammo. I don't carry the revolver much since I got the CM9 though. For me, it's more comfortabe to carry.

Well, I got my J frame AFTER I got my beloved CM9. I have crippled hands, so the tap, rack and bang drill is becoming a more challenging thing to be having to do in a s.h.t.f. situation.

I haven't got any speed strips, yet. But I have found that the Hogue Bantam Rubber Grip clears the speed loaders with room to spare. I want to try an HKS speedloader, as well as a speed strip.

New Holster for my J-frame

I just received the LOBO Enhanced Pancake Holster that I had ordered for my 638. I got it lined with smooth leather to protect the Duracoat finish. This holster is made using welted-seam construction, which is explained at the linked page. It has several advantages, but I really like the tunnel style belt attachments which results in a smooth outer shell uninterrupted by belt slots. The belt lies flatter behind the holster instead of writhing like a snake through conventional belt slots. The fit to the gun is perfect. The holster rides high and tight at 8:30. And it is very beautiful!
