Looking for 32 speedloaders and carriers

[Up1911Fan]

Need some speedloaders for my .327 LCR. The 5Star look good but the only have a carrier for the .38 version. Anyone have any ideas?

At one point HKS made speedloaders for the S&W model 31. They are six shot j frame 32 S&W longs.

I meant to say SpeedBeez and not 5Star in the initial post. That's what I get for waiting until the end of a long day when I'm tired to post.

I've used the HKS speed loaders. Amazon has them but says only 15 left in stock, order soon!

HKS 32-J Revolver Speedloader for Ruger SP101/Taurus 73, 74, 731, 741/J-Frame Size, 6-Shot

They work for me at matches but I'm not worried about speed as these are bug, outlaw and I just want to shoot the gun. If I carry the 432, it's with a speed strip.

To carry the speed loader at a match, I use these clip on holders, that slip over your belt. Duh, can't remember the manufacturer just now. They are not secure for any kind of rough interaction. Only for standing vertical at a match! Just any easy convenience and not serious competitor or EDC holder. I shoot the 632 at matches also. Outlaw.

The HKS work. Sometimes they don't catch and dump the rounds, surprise. There is a little ball detent which vanishes, so it won't lock. Happened maybe with two out of 20 with a lot of use.

Yeah i've never cared for HKS loaders. I'm probably going to get the SpeedBeez, just looking for a way to carry them. Won't be an EDC thing, but for classes and range use.

PS - an image of my favorite 327 Magnum, I put a fiber optic front sight on mine.

It has a compensator. I've mentioned this before. With a full power 327, it's a beast. BOOM! It smacks your hand. Need to have a firm grip. At a match, I've shot 32 Longs but found they wouldn't knock down steel reliably, thus I game planned a speed loader of 327s for when I got to the steel popper. Boom, the SO (a friend LEO) thought the gun blew up and crowd jumped.

About the speed loaders, loading wadcutters with them is a horror, the flat front and the jiggle is not easy.

Safariland CD-2. I've dropped Comp3s out of them a couple times. Maybe they're okay for Comp2s?

AFAIK they were never IDPA legal because they didn't 'encircle' the speedloader, but I haven't shot IDPA in almost a decade so no idea what the current status is.

Haha, I don't think those were there last week. Thanks!

Only used them at club bug or carry gun matches, which weren't on the equipment clock so to speak. I've got better speed loader carry gear but this was a convenience. Since the stages where about 18 rounds, just clip on three without fuss. Since the 32s aren't allowed anyway, it was a moot point.

Do we need a 32 cal division? Hahaha!

I've got some hard cast Buffalo Bore 327s for the 632 as a small bear fantasy for hikes but we can't carry in the parks now anyway. I love that gun as J's fit my hand so well and it's an easy belt carry.
