steel1212 Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I'm sure these have been answered but I couldn't find it doing a search. Which speedloaders do you guys prefer the Comp IIs or IIIs? What is the best speedloader holder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lugnut Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I really like the Comp IIIs. A couple tricks and they work very well... you do need to enhance them. You need to plug the little hole that goes into the ejector and you need to cut off some of the face otherwise the rounds wouldn't load into the cylinder well. These mods are required in my eyes. CPWSA's Ready Tactical pouches are the best IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel1212 Posted November 27, 2010 Author Share Posted November 27, 2010 Yup, forgot to look at Chris's website! Do you have pics of the mods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lugnut Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I don't have pics of mine but this thread should help you out. The pics aren't the best. http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=27520&st=0&p=519470&hl=comp%20bubber&fromsearch=1entry519470 Bubber might have more!

Bubber Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Yup, forgot to look at Chris's website! Do you have pics of the mods? The process is listed in FAQ,s on the Revo Forum. Not good pics but you should get the idea. I cut mine down a lot more than depicted. I don't know if you want to go that radical as I do. Mine are cut just enough for the rims to hold in the holders. Several holders out there. Bob Purdue, "North Mountain", has a new design out for holders. You may want to check his out. later rdd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Orr Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Between my eyes and those photos...... I remain Clueless as to the actual mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nashvillebill Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 CPWSA sells Ready Tactical speedloader holders. Great design and IDPA legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel1212 Posted November 27, 2010 Author Share Posted November 27, 2010 Why is it more expensive to play in SSR lol. Moon clips are cheap and you can be loaded up for a entire match Anyway, how many speed loaders do you guys generally have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashvillebill Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Same reason divorce is expensive, it's worth it. I always carried four as a minimum. The fourth one to use at LAMR and just is case some large dummy steps on one. Three holders and you're good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBorland Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Pretty sure those went Idpa legal :-) A heads-up that Safariland holders aren't, either. BladeTech & ReadyTac are. Anyway, how many speed loaders do you guys generally have? For IDPA, 2 in front of the holster, 1 behind, and a 4th (a compII) in my pocket for LAMR. For ICORE/USPSA, I'll put 5 on my belt and LAMR from my pocketed compII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyberiad Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I use Ready Tactical holders now but I emailed Bob Perdue at North Mountain a couple of weeks ago and he told me he was going to offer Comp III speed loader holders "shortly" (not sure when).

lugnut Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Do you guys cut the speedloaders as much as in that link? I cut mine so that the holes are even with that plastic star in the middle. I've used ones that were cut lower than mine and it seemed like the cases wobbled to much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Nesbitt Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 You can see from the picture in my avatar that I cut them down pretty far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cut mine so that the holes are even with that plastic star in the middle. I've used ones that were cut lower than mine and it seemed like the cases wobbled to much. I remove the center pin (trigger pin?)on my Jetloaders, cut/sand the housing flush with the star and re-assemble. Fast, easy and works great.

MrBorland Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I cut mine flush with the star. The inner plunger protrudes. I also do mine on my band saw. Takes about 2 minutes each. 'Course, could take 2 minutes to ruin a speedloader, so slow is good. I've also experimented with filling the inner plunger hole with JB Weld. Seems to release the round a bit sooner during The Release, and there's no countersunk hole for the ejector star plunger to get hung up on when the speedloader's supposed to drop away. Doesn't seem like a bad idea, as I've noted the recent additional JetLoaders I just bought have a solid plunger, i.e. no hole. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lugnut Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 You can see from the picture in my avatar that I cut them down pretty far. I've seen your reloads... but I don't know how the rounds don't wobble enough to cause you grief! I've also experimented with filling the inner plunger hole with JB Weld. Seems to release the round a bit sooner during The Release, and there's no countersunk hole for the ejector star plunger to get hung up on when the speedloader's supposed to drop away. Doesn't seem like a bad idea, as I've noted the recent additional JetLoaders I just bought have a solid plunger, i.e. no hole. This is probably the most important mod IMO. Can't understand why but without that hole plugged up it cause all kinds of issues. I found an appropriately sized rivet and glued the head into the hole. Nice ejection is key.
