    Painting speedloaders seems like a waste of time. You'll more than likely be the only one using speedloaders so your risk of mixing your loaders with someone else's is basically zero. Finding them on gravel/dirt will also be extremely easy. All my pistol magazines are black (same color as pretty much all speedloaders) and I've never lost one yet.
    I've had much less issues tracking down my speed loaders since I painted them, regardless of the color of the dirt.

    I'm sure it helps in some situations. It just hasn't ever been an issue for me.

    For speedloader painters, what have you been spraying them with?

    1-Krylon?
    2-Plastic specific paint?
    3-Whatever you found on the work bench?
    4-Hambo, just STFU and paint your speedloaders.

    That I don't know.

    My carriers are some pretty old leather basketweave jobs. Nothing highspeed, or competition oriented.

    i use jetloaders for a smith 642 j-frame and they rocket in the rounds. it pays to have a spotter take note of where the loaders drop.
