Looking for a few speedloaders for a Colt .357 Trooper, and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the different types? I see Safariland has Comp II's, but there is also some by HKS. Which do you folks prefer, and why? Which one is the easiest to use?
 
Which Trooper? The original or the Mk III? The original uses the same ones as the Python, the Mk III had it's own, although I believe the Ruger Security Six were very, very similar. Personally I prefer the HKS, just because they are the most common and easiest to get. Plus, after a while, the hand motions are automatic and if you change brands your brain has to stop for the extra/different motions. FWIW - dan

Hmmm - I didn't know they were different. There are no markings on this one at all, and it has been rebarrelled with a Python barrel. What should I look for to tell the 2 models apart?
 
Take the grips off and look at the main spring. E frames (old Trooper, Python, Police Special) have a leaf spring, J frames (Mk III, Mk V, Boa, King Cobra, Anaconda) have coil springs. Easiest way to tell if the barrel isn't there (which is where the model markings usually are). - dan
