FWIW, here's a site from Australia that carries them. Unfortunately I don't see one for the 686P 7-shot, just the 6 shot.

Also, I just found this in THR archives from a year ago:
Many thanks to all! I just ordered from Midway:
2 HKS Speedloaders
1 HKS Double Speedloader Pouch (Med)
2 Maxfire "Soft" Speedloaders
I also found the address/phone for S. L. Variant Speedloaders
FX3 Enterprises L.L.C.
4509 Dusty Trail
North Las Vegas, NV 89031
702-396-0027

I tried the number (after hours) and it works. These Variant speedloaders sound comparable to the Safariland Comp III's, just more expensive. I'm going to order a couple tomorrow. FX3 doesn't have a website to order through, so looks like the phone is it.

I also just purchased a 686-6 2.5 yesterday. I bought mine used however.

Shot the 686P.....WOW! Love it! Shot 38spl standard loads and .357 magnum 125gr's. Those .357's kick like a mule but are quite controllable. I also ordered a OWB holster from Milt Sparks and already got my speedloader order in from Midway. The HKS speedloaders and pouch are quality merchandise. The Maxfire soft speedloaders.....
Don't waste your money. Junk with a capital J. I also ordered some of the Variant loaders which won't be in for a week or so. The wheelgun experience continues.....and I like it!
PaleRyder, is yours the 7 shot? Have you been to the range yet? Congrats!
