Pachmayr Competition Aluminum Speedloader S&W N-Frame .44 6-Shot

Description

Anyone who has fumbled a reload on a big-bore revolver knows the value of a loader that holds your rounds where they belong and drops them clean. The Pachmayr Competition Aluminum Speedloader is built for S&W N-frame .44 revolvers, and it comes CNC machined from a solid block of aluminum rather than the molded plastic you'll find on a lot of competing loaders. That extra material means it stands up to real use and years of rattling around in a range bag.

What Sets the Pachmayr N-Frame Speedloader Apart

Instead of the usual round body, this loader is cut in a polygon shape with flats along the sides. That trimmed-down profile gives you the smallest possible outside diameter, which matters more than you'd think when you're trying to work the loader around a set of oversized grips. It also carries a little slimmer if you're tucking it into a pouch or pocket. The blue anodized finish rounds out the look and gives the aluminum a bit of protection.

Holding Rounds Tight on the Pachmayr Competition Loader

Up top there's a rubber O-ring that grabs the cartridge bases and pins all six rounds firmly in place. No droop, no jangle, no rounds slipping loose on the walk to the line. When you're ready to load, you seat the cartridges into the chambers and give the large knurled knob a twist to release. That oversized knob is easy to grab and turn, even with cold or gloved hands.

This is a twist-style loader, so it takes two motions: seat the rounds, then turn the knob to drop them. Plenty of revolver folks prefer that positive, deliberate release. Beyond the S&W N-frame, the same body works with a range of other large-frame wheelguns chambered around the .44, including Ruger Redhawk and Super Redhawk, Colt Anaconda, Taurus .44 and 444 Raging Bull, and Dan Wesson revolvers. If you run a big double-action revolver, this is a solid way to keep your reloads fast and organized.
