HKS 22-HR Revolver Speedloader for H&R 9-Shot, Taurus 94 Black

Works for my Higgins

Purchased for use with a Taurus 94 22LR/22WMR revolver. The spacing is a hair too small to fit the wheel on the Taurus 94 perfectly, but I'd give it a 97%. When loading, you must push down slightly to get the cartridges lined up, but it's still close enough that I'm still quite pleased with it. Combined with a Pelican shot block, it greatly increases the number of shots I can squeeze into my sessions. There's a fair amount of cartridge jiggle when it's locked, but that's not a bad thing, as I need that extra give. The knob twists very easily and I haven't had any problem with either cartridges falling out or sticking in the speed loader. I was able to use it during the winter without freezing my hands off, but depending on where you live, your mileage may vary. Remember folks, 22WMR has an additional .001 inches in the diameter up at rim, so this loader will not fit 22WMR rounds. I haven't found a 9 shot 22 magnum speed loader to go with the second wheel. Edit: http://www.amazon.com/Taurus-TRACKER-Speed-Loader-MAGNUM/dp/B00BXQYXHQ/ref=pd_rhf_pe_p_t_1_R9F3 is designed for the 22 Magnum wheel. Haven't purchased one to try it yet, but its on my to do list. In short, it was well worth the money, and it's taken the first 300-400 rounds without any problems.

Works perfect with my h&r 929.

Basic line is, it's ok. Since you have to turn the knob to unload it, it requires two hands, and that's after you've used both hands to line up the ammo to fit into the cylinder. It's still faster than manually reloading. But, unless you've got a few dozen of these lined up to go - it's probably better to just hand load anyway. Especially at $10 a pop per speed loader. A better method would be push to release - but I'm guessing that the method they use of a rotating teeth is far cheaper than that. In the end, yea, it's an ok product for a niche fun gun. I would like to see if it is possible to have a version of this with a more recessed locking pin so that it can be pushed flush to the cylinder for reloading, maybe even a version with some sort of spur or bar on the exterior diameter that locks against the top frame and allows one handed operation of the rotating knob to release the shells.

Cheap, simple, works. Bear in mind it's the first revolver speed loader I've ever used, but it's great. It does it's job, and vastly improves chambering one round at a time on my H&R 9-shot (break action type). Play around with it to get the feel, of course. After breaking open my gun, I hold it by the top of the barrel with my fingers around the cylinder to keep it from rotating. After inserting the rounds as far as they'll go, roughly 1/3 the way in, I hold the sides of the speed loader to rotate the aluminum nob, then gently back it off the top of the shells so it doesn't pull any out. Most of the time I have to push some of the rounds completely in so they're seated all the way, but that's probably a bad cleaning issue on my part. Like I said though, far faster and better than fiddling with one round at a time, and dealing with things like dropping them in the process.

I purchased a couple of these speedloaders to jazz up my shooting experience with a High Standard Sentinel Imperial, and find them to function just as intended, with no hanging up as the rounds are aligned. Do note that you will likely have to push the low-mass cartridges home after dumping them from the loader, even more so after shooting for a little while as .22 revolvers tend to foul up in short order, but you'll still have a much faster reload than 1-at-a-time 9 times, and with far less fiddling and chance of dropping a loose round for those with big hands.

I am an old cop. So old in fact that when I began on the job we were armed with the Smith and Wesson Model 19 in .357 Magnum. Well as my career went on, I saw the use of the wonder 9's come and, well fail many. Then I went to .45 ACP for Duty. At any rate, I retired and well just had a bit of love for the old wheel guns that we all started with in the 70's. Now my father had a revolver that he carried on his trap line when we were on the farm, it was a Smith and Wesson 22-32 kit gun, and I loved that little revolver but dad never let me play with it. Fathers are like that I guess. So last year when I went to the local Gun Show, I found a Taurus Model 94 new old stock that is a clone of the old smith. Picked it up for about twice what I thought it should cost. When I carried the 19 we carried speed loaders when they came out so I wanted that option for my Taurus. This model speed loader was said to work, and when they arrived, they were a perfect fit. I now carry them for reloading when I decide to go armed with a .22 instead my heavy old M1911A1. This when I am going to small town America, for Big City shopping, I still go with the old M1911A1. It was good enough for America in 2 world Wars, Korea and Vietnam, it is sure capable of defending me on America's mean streets. 230 Grain Hardball is good feed for the old war horse and, well good enough for today's miscreants.

I’m not surprised that these work well, I have 2 made by the same company for my H&R model 925 so when I got an H&R model 904 it was a no brainer to get some for that and yes they work great. Will keep buying these type of speed loaders for all my revolvers

Works great but pricey!

This little speedloader is a perfect match for the Alfa Proj 2251 .22 revolver. The key to its success is to make sure all the cartridges are pressed firmly into the cylinder by hand once you release them with the locking knob. This ensures that the cylinder rotation will not be impeded by any cartridges that are not firmly positioned.

Works as expected. Also works on some Alfa Proj revolvers. Locks the ammo in place, doesn’t drop them. Turn the release knob to drop the ammo into the cylinder of your revolver.
