Decide which competition you'll participate in, then do some research and read the rulebook before buying your next gun. If it's a revolver, it'll likely be a 6-shot speedloader-fed K/L frame (or GP100) or an 8-shot moonclipped-fed N-frame in .38/.357.

Gearwise, perhaps, but keep in mind quick and efficient reloads (especially when stressed) are mainly about technique and a boatload of practice

Get a loading block if you like, but IME, they're really not necessary. Just invert the speedloader, load the loose rounds directly, then lock the speedloader closed. I competed a bunch with speedloaders and have Idon'tknowhowmanythousand reloads under my belt and never used a loading block.
