The HKS 10-A Revolver Speedloader works good enough for the Armscor / Rock Island Armory M200 4" barrel revolver. Note that it is not a perfect fit for the M200, but this particular speedloader does truly work with the M200. Let me explain. I have included several photographs with this review.If you notice in one of my photos, the M200 cylinder does not swing out far enough to clear the revolver's frame like how many other revolvers do. I assure you that it will be fine, it's just not perfect. When you attempt to load the M200 using this speedloader, you will not be able to insert the cartridges all the way like how you can with other revolvers. If you look at another photo that I uploaded, I tried to demonstrate how far you can insert the cartridges and you should see that the cartridges don't insert all the way into the M200's cylinder while you attempt to load the M200 with this speedloader. Once you get to this point, all you have to do is just turn the speedloader's knob clockwise, let gravity work for you, and the cartridges should fall into the M200's cylinder. As I said, it is not perfect, but it works.Originally, I bought only one of these speedloaders to try out first to see if it will function well enough to load my M200. Once I confirmed that the HKS 10-A does work for my M200, I bought a couple more and also four Bianchi Speed Strips. Obviously, the speedloader is the fastest way to load a revolver, but the speed strips are flat and not bulky to fit inside one's pocket and they still load a revolver faster compared to manually inserting cartridges with your fingers.I would say the quality of the HKS speedloaders are pretty good and I expect them to last a long time.

Carried two of these on my chest pack in Alaska with my sidearm. Functioned perfectly when training with them. No complaints.

High quality and works well for wheel guns.

Not sure why but these were mechanically better made 20 years ago. They look the same but the internal locking mechanism is not as smooth as in past manufacturing generations. 20 years ago, the knob would easily click lock and unlock effortlessly. Some of these (the last 4 I've ordered) are a bit sticky, meaning they don't unlock as effortlessly as in the past. It takes a drop of WD-40 into the center of the mechanism to get the locking mechanism to loosen up so that twisting the knob is effortless to quickly release the bullets into the cylinder. (In a defensive situation, you really can not afford a delay in loading your weapon). I still think they are among the best speed-loaders on the market, though a bit too expensive at $14-$19 a pop. I am surprised that China has not started making these and selling them for $2.50 ea. Otherwise, they get the job done.

An absolute necessity to carry with your revolver. Being rather elderly, I sometimes fumble about loading ammo into my revolver while on a shooting range, out plinking or just working in my shop. Having the ability to take my time pre-loading my speedloader in the comfort of my recliner is a blessing.The shells drop right into the cylinders and with an easy quick turn, they are locked into their chambers and remain firmly entrenched until you release them into your revolver. As an additional benefit, you're much more readily prepared to protect yourself and your home should that horrid event ever occur. I've had one attempted break-in while I was at home and rest assured I was armed, locked and loaded. I'm never more than 5 feet away from a firearm these days. The crime rate in my area has skyrocketed and I must do what is needed to assure my family's safety My advise is to pick up an extra speedloader and double holster while you're ordering this item. There are some great deals to be found on Amazon! With the political climate being questionable at present, there's a good possibility that Amazon may lose their ability to sell firearm related items in the not so distant future. This speedloader greatly exceeded my expectations. Solidly built and easy to use. The item was securely and safely packed in an unmarked box and arrived much sooner than I anticipated. The price is right and the quality is excellent....and best of all, it's AMERICAN MADE!!!!!

As speed loaders go, this is not a mercedes, but it works well. Great for range use, everyday speed loading. The construction is a plastic outer guard (the black area) and aluminum clip and knurl. For the price the quality is excellent, and a great addition to a shooter's bag for the range. Although it's plastic, it is well made and sturdy, but I would recommend a full aluminum construction loader for professional service use.Pros:-Inexpensive, lighweight, easy to load.Cons:-Low cost material, not recommended for service use.A simple 'click to turn' locks loaded rounds in place, and a quick opposite turn drops them in. If you haven't used a speed loader before, this unit will drop the shells about 1/3 of the way into the cylinder, where you will twist to release them and then using gravity, allow the rounds to drop the remaining distance into the cylinder.Overall:HKS makes great products at an affordable price. At under $10 you can't go wrong with this addition to your shooting accessory bag.

Cartridges stay in place until released and slide in perfectly
