Flamingo and Rob's Tools Presents: Speed Loader Along Belt

[Rick R]

CopQuest has the Safariland 371 Split-Six pouches

Due to the decrepit condition of my present Split Six I ordered one of these along with two more Safariland speed loaders to defray the shipping costs. The verification email indicated that the pouches are in stock but the speedloaders are “60-75 days” out on back order. Sigh!



Hopefully my present pouch can hang on a while more.

I built a very sturdy steel model for molding J-Frame loaders last weekend, and dropped it with Flamingo who has an actual, proper and nice kydex press on the way.

While we were doing that, we discussed the other design I'm working on, and how to optimize it for the PHLster Enigma. Fortunately, Flamingo has a couple of Enigmas so we'll be able to proto and fit and test straight away. There won't be a prototype for that for at least two months, probably closer to 3, when we're there, it will get it's own thread.

Finally, we took the time to measure the cross section of loaders we have on hand including:

HKS: J-frame, K-Frame, D-Frame, L-Frame
Jetloader: K-Frame
CompII: K-Frame, L-Frame
CompIII: K-Frame, L-Frame

For the Colt toters, the D-Frame loader is basically within a couple of thousandths in diameter of the K-Frame loader. So, we should be able to accommodate you guys without issue.

N-Frame guys, well, neither of us has an N-Frame on hand. But we might be convinced to take one for the team. But we've discussed it and will eventually make an N-Frame model for molding to accommodate you guys.

Thanks guys!

Cool!
Though I must have missed where to place my order?????????

We have a few more protos to bend up and test out to see how some proposed tweaks work out. Plus we have to figure out our fit and finish. Janky but functional is fine for our personal needs, but not acceptable (to us) for a product that you guys will plunk down hard earned money on.

We're just kind of picky like that.

Any thought about I frames/Pythons? they do make comp IIs for them I believe.

Thanks for all the work you guys are doing.

I would imagine they're fairly close to L-Frame sized just the fact that Pythons often fit in L-Frame holsters.

That said, I have them on my list of loaders to buy to use for test fitting.

[Salamander]

Interested. D-frame for sure, maybe a couple of the others you're already working on as well.

Come by the "workshop" (my basement/man-cave) and you can collect the debt.

@Flamingo Which kydex press did you get?
