Match Champion and speed loaders

[Retired Guy]

I seem to be having trouble with Safariland speed loaders and my 357 MC. I am need to pass a timed test that requires a reload. There seems to be interference between the body of the loader and the MC grip which slows the reload. Any better loaders, or do I just need to practice more.

Grips often interfere with speedloaders and need to be shaved down. Very common. Break out your sandpaper.

Swap grips, shoot test, replace grips.
.38 specials are shorter if you don't need to shoot .357

Thanks for the replies. I'll try different grips. Don't want to damage the wood grip.

There is an online company called 5 Star which makes very nice speed loaders. The Safari ones did not work with my LCR as they would bind up on the grips. The 5 Star ones, milled out of billeted aluminum are more sleek and slim and do not bind up. You might google 5 Star speed loaders and see what they have to fit your revolver. Best of luck
