speedloaders won't fit

[Paolung]

My speedloaders won't work with my Dan Wesson revolver - the grips don't let the speedloader get into the right position. What am I missing? Is there some trick to it?

Different grips.

This is common

Thanks. Unfortunately, DW grip options aren't all that common. I'll see what I can dig up - I think Hogue makes some.

It's a shame too, because Dan Wesson factory wood grips are comfy.

Sounds like you're in need of some strippers....

They really are. And I have two sets - one is my presentation grip (in great condition), the other is the one I usually wear with it out (it's more beat up so I don't worry about that one as much).

 

[Knobgoblin]

Some new and different flexible speed strip coming out.

Yep, speed strips are where its at. They are also helpful when you want to add rounds to a cylinder that is low but not depleted. Rather than turning the gun and dumping the brass, with muzzle pointed down, push up on the ejector rod and release, fired brass will stay up and unfired rounds will drop back into the chambers, remove brass sticking up and reload the empty holes two at time as shown in pic above and get back to work.

As long as they're wearinng pasties with tassels.

A 16 grit grinder will fix it.

 

[titsonritz]

I think those are your choices: replace grips, modify grips or don't use a speed loader and use speed strips (or similar technique). Not sure what a four option would be.

Panties? We don't need no stinking panties.

Pasties either, for that matter.

Yeah, but then you gotta explain all the glitter on your, ah, gun, to your wife...

Bump..

I don't play race games with revolvers so don't use speed loaders even though I've got a couple. . I just drop two at a time in the cylinder. Works on all my double action revolvers from 32-20 to 44 Mag with no extra fussen' or parts to lose.

I play race games with revolvers.

It may not take much removal of wood to get the speed loader to clear. Worth a look.

Option 4 is to have the cylinder cut for moon clips.

 

[Ben B.]

Moon clips are soooooo nice for revo reloads when playing race games with revolvers, versus the 'so-called speed loaders.' They keep your brass together for retrieval. But…milling the cylinder costs money and usually you have to send it out. They can get stepped on and there goes $8-$14. Moon clips are kind of a PITA to empty and refill when you get home and just wanna sit down, take the shoes off and drink a beer. They don't conceal easily or all that well, if that is your thing.
