Will the HKS PY-A speedloader fit both .357 Magnum and .38 Special rounds in my Colt Python?

Yes, the Model PY-A is specifically engineered to securely hold and dispense 6 rounds of either .357 Magnum or .38 Special ammunition. Its 'A' series zero-jiggle design indexes cartridges rigidly to prevent rattling and ensure a smooth entry into the cylinder.

Are there any grip compatibility issues I should watch out for when using this speedloader with a Colt Python?

Yes, oversized aftermarket target grips can physically interfere with the clearance of the speedloader during reloading. If your Python is fitted with extra-thick wooden or rubber grips, you may need to use grips with a speedloader relief cut or opt for low-profile speed strips instead.

Do I need any special permits or electrical compliance certifications to purchase this speedloader in Australia?

No permits or electrical compliance certifications are required. Because the HKS PY-A is a purely mechanical, non-powered firearm accessory used for target shooting under Category H licences, regulations like 240V mains power and SAA/RCM approvals do not apply.

What storage cases pair well with the HKS PY-A speedloader for range use?

This model fits standard medium-sized speedloader pouches. For a reliable dual-carry option from our range, it pairs exceptionally well with the Hks 203 Double Molded Speedloader Case in plain medium.

Colt Python Speedloader - HKS HKSPYA

The HKS Model PY-A Speedloader is a manual revolver reloading accessory engineered specifically for Colt Python and Colt Officers Model Match cylinders. Built with a high-impact injection-moulded black polymer body, internal metal locking pins, and an aluminium knurled twist knob, this "A" Series loader holds cartridges rigidly in place to eliminate cartridge jiggle and ensure smooth chamber alignment. With a bare weight between 30 g and 50 g (approximately 75 g packaged), it provides positive, single-twist reloading for 6-round cylinders without adding unnecessary weight to a shooter's belt kit.

Key Features

Rigid "A" Series Design: Keeps cartridges firmly indexed to prevent play and misalignment during entry into the cylinder.
Manual Twist-Knob Mechanism: Releases all 6 loaded rounds instantly with a simple mechanical twist of the knurled metal knob.
Textured Aluminium Knob: Ensures positive, slip-resistant grip when reloading while wearing gloves or operating in wet conditions.
Durable Construction: Combines impact-resistant Delrin polymer with metal locking components for long-term range durability.
Compact Profile: Fits standard medium-size speedloader pouches for secure belt carry.

Who is the HKS PY-A Speedloader for?

Colt Python target shooters — relies on dedicated 6-round spacing for .357 Magnum and .38 Special cartridges to reliably reload standard factory Python cylinders without cartridge binding.
SSAA Service Match and ICORE competitors — utilizes a rigid 6-round indexing format weighing under 75 g to ensure snag-free, repeat reloads during timed revolver discipline stages.

Less suitable for: Revolvers with 7- or 8-shot modified cylinders, alternative frame geometries such as S&W L-frame or Ruger GP100 cylinders, or setups fitted with oversized target grips that lack relieved cutouts; these configurations require frame-specific speedloaders, dedicated 7-shot or 8-shot loaders, or flexible low-profile speed strips.
