Does anyone have any experience with the speed beez revolver loaders. I'm looking at the combo with the loader and loading block for my s&w model 18 I'm picking up later this week. thanks in advance.
 
I have a Speedbeez for the S&W 7-shot .22 magnum J-frame revolver. It's ok. Wouldn't call it super durable - relies on a light-duty coil springs wrapped around it.

Another thing to keep in mind is that regardless of speedloader design, rimfire cases have more surface area and tension than bullet weight. When combined with generally extra propellant residue when firing rimfires in revolvers, rounds generally don't reliably fully seat in the chambers. You have to do final seating of each round. This might not be laborious but it's an extra step. I found it just as fast to reload the rimfire revolver with speed strips.
 
I have a Speed-Beez combo with the case, loading block and speedloader for my S&W model 63 8-shot .22lr.
I really like it at the range. I can reload 10 times with the rounds I set up in the loading block. The case makes it easy to load up the block snap the lid closed and toss it in the shooting bag.

I would like to get the same set ups for my other revolvers.

This is the one I have for my 63.

I have the 100 round kit for my S&W 617 10 shot. I really enjoy having it. I’ll load it up well ahead of time and it has been super reliable. My kids love it as they can do a quick reload and ring steel again and again. I alway give them the cheap bulk box stuff to use as one time they got into my suppressor stuff and burned through $100 of ammo just blasting. Oh well, lesson learned for me to keep them out of my bag.
