Looks like initially sold for S&W K frame and Kimber.  $50.

That’s pretty neat .

You have to press a button to "roll" the speedloader into a circle as you draw it from the belt so that the rounds will line up with the chambers.

 

THEN you have to orient the button facing away from the gun otherwise you can't reach it to press it and release the rounds.

 

So they're adding even more f*#kery to a process that's already ultra fumble-prone.

 

AND it costs fifty freaking bucks!

 

LOL

+1 way to much trouble and expense

I'll echo EEH's comment, pretty neat, the button issue doesn't look like a big deal if you put the unit in your pocket the right way much like

rounds pointing the right way when putting a mag into it's holster (holder).

I think I would be concerned about lint getting into the innards and clogging up the works and I think it needs to be made in a 5 shot J frame

version for all those snubby's out there.

 

Some great thinking there, if it works dirty it beats speed strips and dump pouches

Neat job of engineering, that's the fun part of a new design. Time will tell if it was worth it just to reduce a little lump in your pocket.

I concur.

Neat concept, but making sure that you have the correct orientation when loading under stress - either competition or a dangerous encounter - will make then virtually useless.

[No.343]

I will take two when they make it for a snubby.

 

[Distant Thunder]

When I carry my revolvers I dress to conceal both the gun and the loading devices so this one doesn't interest me personally. 

[S&W627shooter]

That takes the "speed" out of speedloader. 

[RePete]

I wonder how it would compare to a speedstrip?

[Toolguy]

It looks to me like it's slightly curved on your belt, then when you pull it out, it coils into a circle like a regular speedloader. Too expensive for me, though.

[10mmdave]

Another way to do it, not available at the moment but interesting.

I still think the op's idea is interesting, might need it's own carry pouch to keep it flat.
