1511. Speedloader for a revolver.


Looks like an earlier incarnation of the Maxfi
http://www.speedloaders.com/

What's the spring at the ring attachment for, though?



The spine on the back of the loader is a hinge and the spring keeps
it in the position shown, if I remember correctly it rotated about 30
degrees, but I don't know why this was necessary.

Most speedloaders have a means to keep the cartridges locked in the loader
until you want them to come out . The spring is probably part of that
mechanism .
