Five star makes speed loaders for both.
Five star makes excellent speed loaders and I really appreciate there design especially for J frame sized revolvers. With that said, I am cheap and just stick with HKS.

I never understsood speed loaders, mechanically they make no sense to me; but then I've never seen one in person.
Yeah but they are adorable. I’ve had bad luck with 7 round hks loaders and prefer the direction five stars turn. They are rather pricey though. At any rate, I mostly use speed strips. Even cheaper yet.I see autocorrect changed my "affordable" to "adorable" in my post. I didn't want to drop $200 for 4 or 5 speedloaders when HKS ones work fine for $10 each
The 586 looks neat but I didn't realize that stainless was going to be a major improvement in fighting off rust. I'm not against it but I do have a thing for the look of wood grips, at least like to have the option. Does S&W make anything like that for 686s?
Yeah if I can get wood grips that complete the look, just gotta find something with a lighter stain to it, always thought bright yellow/white woods looked good with stainless
Taurus makes some nice revolvers these days and are also a lot less expensive.
I bought my wife a Model 66 , she picked it out while comparing it to a S&W Model 19. She said to her the Taurus felt just as good, was chamber for 7 shots not 6 and was $300 less. I haven't been able to get it away from her to try it out myself!When I am able to I'd like to get a 3" Taurus 692 357 with the 9mm cylinder.
.357 revolvers are like potato chips. Nobody can buy just one.
That Miculek video is fake. Any gun that can be fired that quickly would be ejecting its empty cases, something that is clearly not visible in the video.
I'm not saying i'm gonna run out and buy one, but I'm warming up to revolvers and I think i'm gonna put one on the list. I've got a few that I'm looking at though and I don't know how they stack up; I was considering a SW 686 which is nice because it's got 7 shots but it only comes in stainless which doesn't look as good to me. I was also looking at a Ruger GP100, looks pretty traditional in design so I think it's my backup choice if the 686 doesn't work out for some reason. For my more exotic choices I was considering the Chiappi Rhino because it looks neat, and a Single Action Army design also because it looks neat.
There is a S&W that is the 686 but in blue.... I just don't remember the model number.
