Speed loaders for smith and wesson model 63 4th generation? (8 shot 22lr)

Recommended Posts

I'd try the one for the 317 but it's 30$. One reviewer said it worked in their 63 another said it didn't, so that's not great odds for that price.

 

What about speed strips? Anyone know of any 8 round 22 speed strips? I'm having trouble finding anything other than 6 and 10.

Specifically what didn't work? Did they work in a 317 but not the 63? Or did it just not work well in either

 

As I said originally, both J-frames, both 8-shot cylinders. A J-frame, is a J-frame, is a J-frame - dimensionally they are identical. A speed loader that works in the one will work in the other.

 

I have never seen speed strips for rim fire rounds.

 

Adios,

I agree with Bob,

 

it'll probably work just fine. And 30 bucks is pretty standard on a 22 speed loader. You'll also need to have a " loading block " for it so you can quickly load the speed loader.

 

 

I'd skip the speed strip idea, might as well load by hand if thats the case.

Thanks for the info guys! I didn't know j frames all had the same dimensions, I thought the letters had to do just with the overall size of the guns.

 

I found some of those blocks you mentioned, alec.mc, definitely beats getting 5 speed loaders.

 

I'll probably buy the speed loader and block after trying one competition with the gun and seeing if I want to keep using it or switch to another gun.

 

Pizza Bob, the reviewer isn't clear about what exactly doesn't work, he says he would like an instruction manual. May not have been a problem between the 63 and loader at all come to think of it. Guess I might be finding out for myself soon enough.

 

Thanks again!
