New "American Rifleman" states that HKS 36A can be used with the LCR. Anyone used this, or have personal knowledge?

    You might consider posting your question to the guys on the Ruger Forum, if our folks can't help you. GOOGLEing the name, will bring up the link.

    I have HKS speed loaders for everything from .22 to .44 and have been pleased with all. If AR says the 36A will fit, I wouldn't doubt it.

    Sure. That's the standard speedloader for a 5 shot Smith "J" frame revolver.

    The "36" probably refers to the Smith and Wesson model 36, which is the plain-jane original blued steel J-frame snubnose.

    Anyway, I've used it. . .it works fine, and I keep one handy near the appropriate gun.

    I've never tried this for the Ruger, but I'd imagine it would work fine. Supposedly these work for the Ruger SP101, I don't see why they wouldn't work for the new LCR. If American Rifleman says they work, I'd have no reason to think they didn't.

    As a matter of practice, because of their thickness, these speedloaders can be a bit bulky in the pocket, and for pocket carry, many people find the plastic Bianchi "speedstrips" (which hold the rounds in a straight line) to be more convenient to keep reloads handy.
