I can say this... I will buy a bunch of SL’s if they come back and I also am going to try and make some of the jox type loaders Or my rendition. I don’t have time or money to wait on his. Nice guy and nice product but I’ve got to “give a go” at it myself

Safariland Comp-IIs here as well. Mine are over 35 years old and still going strong.

It can depend on the revolver. For example, Safariland are good speedloaders but they don't make one for every revolver. They're limited to 5 and 6 round models. I don't know that much about SL Variant, but if they ever were to become available, have they ever made one at all that fits your revolver?

I have in revolver-specific classes where a lot of people were shooting all kinds of different revolver equipment. The Speed-beez frequently come-apart. They usually don't break, but they become disassembled and have to be carefully put back together. HKS are popular because they're made in a lot of models that fit a lot of revolvers and they're inexpensive so their purchasers can afford a lot of them, which hopefully won't be necessary for "combat" but sure helps for practice which is a good thing if you intend to do combat.

My personal favorite option by far is moon-clips. They're so brilliant I never feel any desire to shoot a magazine fed handgun.

If you don't buy a revolver that accepts moon-clips, you can send your cylinder to TK Custom and they will cut it for you. Unlike Safariland and SL Variant, you can speed reload 5, 6, 7, and 8 shot revolvers. Order a good 30 to 50 moon-clips sized specifically to the groove on the brand of brass you use (there's no SAAMI spec for revolver brass grooves). You'll never want a speedloader again and you might not even like magazine guns.

I will say that I haven't seen 9 and 10 shot moonclips. So if you have one of those guns, it's probably not for combat, but Speedbeez.
