Description
Loading a .22 LR revolver one round at a time gets old fast, whether you are at the range burning through bricks of rimfire or need to reload in a hurry. The HKS 22J takes care of that. You load six rounds into the speedloader, line them up with the open cylinder, and a slight twist of the knob releases all of them simultaneously. The whole thing takes a second or two once you have practiced it a handful of times.
The M Series designation refers to the design incorporating a bit of cartridge jiggle, which actually helps the rounds seat smoothly into the chambers rather than binding up. The body is made of black polymer to keep weight down, while the metal retention points inside hold the cartridges firmly so nothing rattles loose in your pocket or pouch. The release knob is knurled for a positive grip even with sweaty or gloved hands.
This loader is made in the USA and fits the Smith and Wesson Models 34, 35, 43, and 63, including K-frame variants chambered in .22 LR, as well as the Ruger SP101. One thing worth knowing before you buy: oversized or aftermarket grips can sometimes interfere with the loader clearing the frame during a reload. If your revolver has grips that flare out at the rear, it is worth confirming fitment before committing to a specific speedloader model.
HKS has been building speedloaders for decades and has a track record that stretches back through law enforcement use. The 22J is compact, lightweight at under an ounce, and easy to carry in a dedicated pouch or toss in a range bag. If you shoot a compatible .22 revolver with any regularity, picking up two or three of these makes range sessions a lot more enjoyable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which revolvers does the HKS 22J speedloader fit?
The 22J is designed to fit Smith and Wesson Models 34, 35, 43, and 63, including K-frame variants chambered in .22 LR, as well as the Ruger SP101. If your revolver is not on that list, the cylinder dimensions may still match, but it is worth confirming with HKS or the gun manufacturer before purchasing.
How does the knob release mechanism work?
You load the six rounds into the speedloader, align them with the open cylinder, and press the loader down into the chambers. A slight twist of the knurled knob releases the metal retention points, dropping all six rounds simultaneously. With a little practice it becomes a very fast and consistent motion.
Will aftermarket or oversized grips affect how this speedloader works?
They can. If your revolver has grips that are wider or flare out more than the factory stock, they may prevent the speedloader from clearing the frame when you go to release the rounds. HKS specifically notes this issue, and in those cases the grips may need to be swapped out or trimmed for the loader to work properly.
Is the HKS 22J made in the USA?
Yes, HKS speedloaders including the 22J are manufactured in the United States. HKS has a long history of domestic production and supplying speedloaders to both civilian and law enforcement markets.
How many of these should I pick up for a range session?
Most people who use .22 revolvers at the range find that two to four speedloaders is a practical number. That gives you enough pre-loaded cylinders to keep the shooting moving without spending most of your time reloading. They are compact and light enough that carrying a few extras is not an issue.
Does the M Series differ from other HKS speedloader models?
Yes. The M Series incorporates a small amount of cartridge jiggle by design, which helps the rounds settle into the cylinder chambers more smoothly rather than needing a perfectly precise alignment. This makes the loading motion more forgiving compared to tighter-fitting loader designs.
