Guy's experiences with the HKS brand speedloaders are opposite of mine...been using them for better'n twenty years...NEVER had one fail to work or break. I will admit that they ARE about the SLOWEST speedloader out there, but there ARE VERY SECURE...I've dropped 'em, tossed 'em to people, handled 'em pretty roughly...never had one "drop" the rounds when I didn't want 'em to...can't say that about several OTHER brands, including the old "Dade" loader, the ORIGINAL Safariland that was a one-piece rubber job and the present Safariland 333, which is, I believe, currently the "Fastest" speedloader out there...tho' I PERSONALLY believe moonclips to be a smidge' faster, but Guy will probably disagree...you pays your money and you takes your chances!!!....mikey357
