I hope this hasn't been discussed yet.
I found this speedloader while wasting time on the interwebs. I am not sure what I think about it.
It is 3D printed so I am not sure how durable it will be.

Interesting.

Weird and complex is my first reaction, but I sort of want to get one and play with it.

I think that's a really slick idea, I would like to see that design built upon.
Come, mother, come! For terror is thy name, death is in thy breath, and every shaking step destroys a world for e'er. Thou 'time', the all-destroyer! Come, O mother, come!
At $50/per, I can resist.
If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.
Me too. If it was half that price, I'd be tempted to buy one knowing full well there was at least a 75% chance it would wind up in my Box Of Bad Ideas along with all the other speedloaders I've tried that aren't Safariland Comps.
I was into 10mm Auto before it sold out and went mainstream, but these days I'm here for the revolver and epidemiology information.
Interesting. Even neat. Seems overly complex. I get why its complex, there are people that like speed strips (generic term) for lay flat, but want the speed of a speedloader. That said, I guess I have never understood why people can dress for a revolver but cant for a Safariland Comp1. To each his/her own.
Nope.
Way too many small parts, matched with a complex series of actions to prepare it for use.
I have no doubt it's a fascinating tool, but I just foresee too many chances for failure under stress. When I need to reload a K/L/N-frame revolver under a speed constraint and NOT dropping it and pulling the backup J-frame, the last thing I need is a speedloader that could be deformed due to a spring failure of plastic part snapping.
Yes, my Safariland Comp's are made of a polymer/plastic/recycled Chiclet material, but are not designed to change their outer geometry in this fashion.

Looks like an atomic mousetrap. I’ll pass.
Honestly, besides the “Strip Clip Thing” that everyone hated but I kinda like, I’ve found myself using a simple old school dump pouch. I know...it’s not cool and will probably not optimum...but neither is the snubby. Or me for that matter.
Working diligently to enlarge my group size.
Interesting, but I'm skeptical.
Likes: - Adaptablility to a flat storage/pouch profile
-Somewhat easy conversion from flat profile to the actual circular configuration needed to reload
Dislikes: - Price; as others already said, at $15-$25, I'd likely get at least one to experiment with, but $50 is no bueno
- Probable complexity, along with multiple fiddley motions required to utilize for the actual reload. Not likely good for stress-filled real life required defensive reload situations
- Unproven durability and reliability, especially with/for defensive use and/or organizational use
Since it's significant plus is its profile configurability for defensive carry, it in my mind that singular advantage is negated by the dislikes I've listed. For admin/range/competition use, I can deal with the additional bulk inherent to Safariland Comp and HKS existing and throughly vetted alternatives.
Best, Jon
