The HKS 36A A Series speedloader is a purpose-built reload tool for shooters who carry small-frame revolvers and value speed on the range or in training. This 5-round speedloader fits a tight lineup of proven defensive and duty revolvers—including S&W J-frames (36, 47, 38, 40, 42, 49, 60, 340, 360), Charter Arms and Taurus snubbies (85, 605, 651, 851), Ruger SP101, and Rossi 68—making it an essential accessory if you shoot .38 Special or .357 Magnum cylinders in any of these platforms.
Speedloaders cut reload time dramatically once you develop the muscle memory, and the HKS design does that job without fuss. Metal points grip each cartridge firmly inside a lightweight polymer body, so rounds stay put until you align the loader with the cylinder and give it a twist to drop all five. The knurled aluminum knob is knurled deliberately—it gives you a solid, non-slip grip under stress, whether you're running drills at the club or working a reload under time pressure. That textured knob also makes the loader easy to fish out of a pouch or pocket when you need it fast.
HKS speedloaders are manufactured in the USA, a detail that matters to shooters who prefer domestic gear. If you shoot a small-frame revolver regularly—whether for carry, backup, sport shooting, or just range work—a proper speedloader transforms reloading from tedious to efficient. This is the tool that separates casual range visitors from dedicated revolver shooters.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which revolvers does this speedloader fit?
The HKS 36A is designed for small-frame revolvers, specifically S&W J-frames (models 36, 47, 38, 40, 42, 49, 60, 340, 360), Charter Arms and Taurus compact models (85, 605, 651, 851), Ruger SP101, and Rossi 68. If your revolver isn't listed here, verify compatibility before purchasing.
What calibers does this speedloader work with?
The HKS 36A accommodates both .38 Special and .357 Magnum cartridges, so it works for either caliber in compatible cylinders.
How does the speedloader actually work?
Load your five rounds into the HKS—the metal points grip each cartridge. Align the loader with your open cylinder and give the aluminum knob a slight twist; the rounds drop into place. Once you've practiced the motion a few times, it becomes second nature and cuts reload time dramatically compared to loading rounds by hand.
Is this a heavy or awkward accessory to carry?
No. The HKS 36A is lightweight thanks to its polymer construction, and the compact size of a 5-round loader is easy to tuck into a range bag, vest pocket, or dedicated pouch without adding significant bulk or weight.
