Thoughts on speed loaders for .357. What is consensus in the best and easiest speed loader to use?

Something like this is the most readily available, easy to use speed loader that I know of.
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

I like the HKS 10/10A.
For me its the easiest, particularly with the DW .357's as I'm holding the cylinder with my left hand so all I do is push & twist & I'm done.

I prefer the Safariland Comp2 for ccw or comp 3 for competition. Buy the ones for a k frame Smith. You don't have to twist it. Just shove it in and it releases.

Thanks for the input guys. I've been looking into maybe getting 3 or 4. Wasn't sure which worked better for the Dan.
So basically, the same as the K frame smitty just a choice to my tastes on release. Good to know.

That's it, just pick your favorite style in "K" frame size.

BTW, this also works for holsters. Smith K=DW Small Frame

Why do you need a speed loader ? ?
Self defense ? Competition ? Convenience ?
Either would require a fast, secure, consistent and fail safe loader.
I'll just throw this out there...why would you "push and twist" when you could just " push " ? ? ?
Also, which type has been more accepted world wide for LEO use ?
I like Safariland ...if you can't tell by now

I usually make my holsters, Steve but that is good to know too.

Blacktop it is more a convenience thing I suppose if I go out to my range or when I take family out on camps. Usually I carry a 9 or a 45 but im thinking I should get the old girl out a little more often.

I've actually found holsters for the slightly larger S&W 686 (L frame I believe?) are a better fit. Particularly if you have a HB. The squarer shape of the DW under-lug seems to prefer the little extra "toe room"!

Good point, it is actually either Smith K or L, and especially on a VH
Colt Python is also usually a good fit.
