Like the description states, it will work with all of the following Smith & Wesson models: S&W 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 19, 64, 65, 66, 67. Check the model of your revolver inside the yolk.

Has worked for me in a S&W; .38 Special revolver, Beretta Nano 9mm, and FNH FNS-9mm. Hope that helps.

I have a Charter Arms 38 special Undercover...2" barrel......the cartridges line ok up but it in no way works as a speed loader for this pistol....cylinder hits the rubber grip.

Michael, I use this HKS with my model 10 - 6 shot for PPC shooting. The CTG is suppose to be like the model 10 (K Frame). These loaders are OK, but the snap loading releases I find are a few seconds faster. In PPC, seconds count. A long as your CTG is a 6 cylinder, I believe it will work.

I use mine with a Browning Hi-Power in 9mm. It's a double stack magazine so the real issue is the overall size of the Sig magazine, as compared to the Browning. I'm going to say the loader will not work with the Sig, but it's only my best estimate

depends on the ammunition manufacturer...some brass/aluminum vary slightly so that makes for a very tight fit in the speed loader...loader will loosen up with usage..also there are other brands of speedloaders

My safariland which I used for my S&W; model 36 .38 special snub nose broke. I have and would recommend the HKS speed loader instead.

No! Sorry I'm responding late but I wrote a review earlier this year describing your question. This speed loader does not work smoothly for my S&W; .38 So +P Hammerless Airweight. With the right amount of wiggling and twisting you can get the bullets to fall into the cylinder but in a firefight or life and death situation you would not want to rely on this. I don't know why everyone else who responded said it does work but they either have a different pistol or mine is abnormally shaped. Again, I have a S&W; .38 Special +P Airweight with an internal hammer and it does not work. Contact me if you have any other questions. No!

It will work with almost any speed loader. I use it for 357 mag and 22 long rifle loaders.

Doubtful it would work. It is very difficult to use with my magazines. Ended up using a different speed loader.

This will work but loader + ammo will obviously be shorter leaving excess room in holder. This might make slight noise and could possibly loosen ammo from speed loaders if jolted vigorously.

No. This works with .223 or 5.56. That being said, depending on the magazine, one can get speed loaders for them

It will work with models 586, 686, 581, 681 in S&W. Check the speedloader HKS website for additional types. Model number is pretty important because J frame does not pin it down enough. I always start with searches by the exact model number. It will be marked on your weapon. Example is a Model 29 may indicate after the model number what era it was made in, whether it was a pinned barrel etc. for the old 44 magnum so you might see 29-2. You will find things like is it a stainless steel vrs blued with the model number code. In reality the model number will be most important for is it a 6 or 5 shot due to the distance between the drilled holes and their location on the cylinder for the sake of the speedloader use. Massad Ayoob has a good video on you tube on how to use a speedloader with any revolver. The term J frame, N frame, K frame has more to do with the size, caliber, beefiness of the frame than how many holes are in the cylinder and where. The right speedloader does not care if it is a fluted or straight cylinder for example only how many shots and where did they drill the holes.

Per the HKS product description, the 36-A speedloader should fit any j-frame S&W.
