will it allow use of hks 36-a speed loaders on s&amp;w 642?

Yes, but don't let the ammo go all the way in. Set in about 3/4 of the way and release. They will drop in effortlessly.

Don't worry about this product. It worked for me very well with my Sig P938 which is, by the way, similar in design as your P232. The loader is well made and will work fine with the calibers the company recommends. and will work fine with all the calibers the company recommends

Sir: If the loader will fit over your S&W; mag (dimensions given given by another responder then it should work. It works on my Ruger 22/45. As most 22 magazines are similar due to size constraints of the ammunition itself I would think that it will work.

I don't know about the S&W;, but it broke the clip on my Beretta Nano. I would look hard at the Lula speed loader. It's not as complicated and is much easier to use.

Yes, I was able to use a speed loader on my Model 66, which is the same K frame. Same size gun that is.

Per the HKS product description, the 36-A speedloader should fit any j-frame S&W.;

The Hogue grips are slimmer than S&W factory grips and the left grip panel is inletted so you should not have a problem with speed loaders.

It should work fine. I've used the loader on a variety of pistols including your model. You won't be disappointed.

Jeff - sorry - I'm not a gun expert - just an amateur who enjoys an expensive recreational hobby. Short answer - yes - it should work quite well for the S&W; Airweight. Long answer - I originally obtained the HKS-36-A for my wife's Taurus...and it DID NOT work - the diameter of the loader was off from the Taurus cylinder (like getting a wheel with a slightly off lug pattern). I replaced my wife's Taurus with a S&W; Bodyguard w/built-in InSight laser (and she LOVES the new gun...but that's a different story) and the speed loader fits like a glove. And it was perfectly rational reason for me to buy a new Bodyguard...so it would fit the speed loader, eh?

Michael, I use this HKS with my model 10 - 6 shot for PPC shooting. The CTG is suppose to be like the model 10 (K Frame). These loaders are OK, but the snap loading releases I find are a few seconds faster. In PPC, seconds count. A long as your CTG is a 6 cylinder, I believe it will work.

Speed loaders work better with the houge on my 686 than they did with my factory wood grip.

I personally do not know. But I would pose the question back to safariland and ask them what type of speed loader case works best for their speed loaders for the .357.

I mounted the grips on a S&W; mod. 36 Chief five shot. The HKS 36a speed loader worked well.

It will work with models 586, 686, 581, 681 in S&W. Check the speedloader HKS website for additional types. Model number is pretty important because J frame does not pin it down enough. I always start with searches by the exact model number. It will be marked on your weapon. Example is a Model 29 may indicate after the model number what era it was made in, whether it was a pinned barrel etc. for the old 44 magnum so you might see 29-2. You will find things like is it a stainless steel vrs blued with the model number code. In reality the model number will be most important for is it a 6 or 5 shot due to the distance between the drilled holes and their location on the cylinder for the sake of the speedloader use. Massad Ayoob has a good video on you tube on how to use a speedloader with any revolver. The term J frame, N frame, K frame has more to do with the size, caliber, beefiness of the frame than how many holes are in the cylinder and where. The right speedloader does not care if it is a fluted or straight cylinder for example only how many shots and where did they drill the holes.

The loader is not brand dependant. It should work fine with other automatics using a similar caliber round such as 9MM, 40 S&W;, and 45's
