Will the HKS Model 48-K speedloader fit my Smith & Wesson Model 51 J-Frame revolver?

No, this speedloader is specifically engineered for S&W K-Frame and Colt Mark III .22 Magnum revolvers only. It will not fit smaller J-Frame revolvers like the Model 51, which requires a different model speedloader.

Can I use this speedloader for .22 Long Rifle (.22 LR) cartridges as well as .22 WMR?

No, the HKS 48-K is strictly calibrated for six-round .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (.22 WMR) cartridges. It cannot chamber .22 LR rounds due to the different casing dimensions and rim sizes.

What speedloader cases do you stock that are compatible with the HKS 48-K for range and outback carry?

For secure belt carry during range sessions or outback hunting trips, this medium K-frame speedloader pairs very well with the Hks 203 Double Molded Speedloader Case or the Hks Model 105 Leather Case.

Do I need any special permits or licenses to purchase this speedloader in Australia?

No, speedloaders are classified as general firearm accessories under Australian regulations and do not require registration or special permits to purchase. They are completely non-powered mechanical devices and do not involve electrical certifications like RCM or SAA approvals.

HKS48K Speedloader - HKS Model HKS48K

The HKS Model 48-K Speedloader is a manual revolver reloading accessory designed to simultaneously load six .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (.22 WMR) cartridges into compatible cylinders. Built by HKS in the USA, this mechanical loader eliminates single-cartridge handling to accelerate reloading sequences during range drills, club matches, and field shooting. It utilises a high-impact injection-moulded black polymer body, internal steel locking pins, and a knurled aluminium twist knob. Sized specifically for medium revolver cylinders, the unit weighs approximately 40 to 50 grams and fits standard medium-frame/K-frame speedloader belt pouches.

Key Features

Simultaneous 6-Round Chambering: Drops a full cylinder complement of six .22 WMR cartridges directly into the chambers in a single action.
Twist-Knob Cartridge Release: Secures rounds via internal steel locking points until a clockwise turn of the knurled metal knob releases them into the cylinder.
M-Series Movement Design: Permits slight cartridge movement within the polymer body to assist alignment with cylinder chambers during insertion.
Durable Construction: Combines high-impact polymer housing with metal internal components for reliable mechanical operation without external power requirements.

Who is the HKS Model 48-K Speedloader for?

Smith & Wesson Model 48 revolver owners — requires a dedicated speedloader built to the exact cylinder spacing of the 6-round K-frame chambered in .22 WMR.
Rimfire revolver target and competition shooters — requires a 6-round capacity loading device to drop six .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire cartridges simultaneously to minimise stage and reload times.

Less suitable for: Revolvers chambered in standard .22 Long Rifle or smaller frame profiles, such as 6-shot J-frame models like the S&W Model 51; these configurations require dedicated .22 LR or small-frame J-profile rimfire speedloaders.
