The HKS Speedloader Case is from American Made materials. Perfect for the competitive shooter, the HKS Speedloader Case can carry the ammunition you need comfortably and conveniently. The HKS Speedloader Case is lightweight, durable and compact making it a great companion. The HKS Speedloader Case is able to carry your needed rounds while performing in the competitive arena, leaving your hands free to concentrate on the task at hand. The HKS Double Speedloader Case has velcro fasteners to secure
Secure speeloader case, but plastic material not leather.,
This HKS plastic double speedloader case with snaps is rigid and secure. It is designed to work on police duty belts (as well as smaller belts) and it sticks out about 2″ from your belt. The speedloaders insert and pull out easily.
It has a rigid belt loop molded on to the back (without a snap), which will fit belts up to about 2-1/8″ inches. A 2-1/4″ duty belt will also fit, but if the belt is over 3/16″ thick it will be very tight pulling through the belt loop.
The case is actually made out of Dupont Hytrel, which is a quality textured polymer material that looks a lot like leather. This case is smooth black, although HKS also makes it in a molded basket-weave pattern. According to the back of the HKS package, they also make this same Hytrel case in tan or brown color (though I have never seen those sold anywhere).
I believe HKS used to make a similar leather case, but I haven’t seen those at any stores lately. There are similar leather cases available from other police duty belt makers, but they are about double the price. Some of the other makers also have Cordura nylon covered speedloader cases with a rigid plastic frame. They cost just a little more than this Hytrel case. However, I think most of these other makers just make one size for six-shot revolvers, and the HKS comes in two sizes.
The two sizes in this HKS case are designated large and medium. The back of the package says large fits HKS speedloaders 27, 29, 25M, 25, 5, 57M, and the medium fits speedloaders 10, 586, DS, M3, PY, CA44, 36, 22. (See hksspeedloaders dot com for a chart.) There are actually smaller size HKS 22LR six-shot speedloaders, but I don’t know if they make a small size case for these also.
If you are using the medium case to hold the 36-A 5-round HKS speedloader for the Ruger SP101 and other small 5-shot revolvers, the speedloader is a little loose in this medium case and will rattle slightly if you walk briskly. However, you can cut out a curved piece of plastic from a powdered drink mix container, which will curve around the speedloader in the case and hold it tighter and prevent it from rattling.
I prefer this rigid case over the other one-size HKS speedloader case made out of flexible Cordura nylon, which just has velcro straps. The HKS Cordura nylon case doesn’t hold its shape well like this case for insertion of the speedloaders, and it doesn’t hold them as securely. However, one advantage of the Cordura nylon case is that it is more compact and sticks out from your belt less than this rigid case (especially if you sew it a little tighter around the speedloader), and it can be squashed flat with the speedloaders removed. So some people may prefer the cordura nylon case to wear under a coat or vest for concealed carry.

|Great product!,
Buy this and the HKS speedloaders and it fits perfectly. Great thing to have if you’re not into speed strips and want a quick access speed loader.

|HKS Speedloader case,
I like the overall quality of this product. The Hks loaders fit perfectly and once you unsnap the top cover, it stays out of the way and does not interfere with retrieving the loader.
