When you need to reload fast, plastic speedloaders can feel flimsy and aluminum loaders are often overbuilt. The Pachmayr Competition stands in the middle ground, combining serious durability with practical handling. It's machined from solid aluminum with precision that shows the moment you hold it, yet it's light enough that carrying two won't weigh you down.
The one feature that sets this loader apart from competitors is its polygonal body. Instead of a round profile like most loaders, Pachmayr cut flats into the design to reduce overall diameter. This isn't just for looks. When you're working with a revolver that has aftermarket grips, full combat grips, or even just your hand in the way, those shaved sides make a noticeable difference in how easily the loader clears everything and slides into the cylinder. The flatter shape also helps if you're carrying the loader in a jacket pocket where space matters.
The O-ring at the base of the loader contacts the cartridge bases once the knob is twisted clockwise to lock. This keeps your rounds vertical and completely rattle-free whether you're moving around the range or carrying the loader for defense. The large knurled knob itself is easy to grip under stress and turns with straightforward, simple motion. A counterclockwise twist releases the cartridges into the open cylinder. Note that this operates opposite to HKS loaders if you're switching brands, but once you get the motion down it becomes second nature.
Aluminum construction with hard-anodized blue finish stands up to the drops, dings, and rough handling that happen in training and competition. The loader weighs about two ounces empty, so carrying a pair doesn't add noticeable burden. For L-frame revolvers running .357 Magnum or .38 Special, this loader holds all six rounds securely.
Yes, this L-Frame loader is designed to fit both S&W L-Frame revolvers and the Ruger GP100. It will also work with the Colt Python. Always verify fit before relying on it during use.
The solid aluminum construction is significantly more durable and resistant to cracking or breaking when dropped, which happens regularly in training and competition. The precision CNC machining and polygon shape also make it more compact than standard round loaders, especially helpful if your revolver has aftermarket grips.
Slip the loader into the open cylinder with cartridges pointing into the chambers, then twist the large knurled knob counterclockwise. The cartridges will drop freely into the chambers. Note that this is opposite to HKS brand loaders, so practice the motion before relying on it.
The loader can feel firm right out of the box, especially when fully loaded. This is normal and actually indicates tight cartridge retention. With a few loading cycles, the mechanism smooths out noticeably. Some users report applying a light coat of oil helps if it feels binding initially.
