    I just purchased Taurus 85. I got an HKS speedloader for it but it hits the handle and won't drop in any suggestions on other options?

    You don't have to push the speed-loader down so far that it hits the "Grip".

    Just get the noses of the bullets started in the cylinder and turn the release knob.

    The cartridges will drop right in.


    PS: I have an M85 and HKS speed-loaders.

    You may have to angle the speedloader outwards and only put it far enough for the bullets to enter the chambers. Then you unlock it and give it a jiggle to drop the rounds in.

    An aftermarket grip with more clearance for the speedloaders might also be necessary. I also prefer the Safariland speedloaders to the HKS. They are a little smaller and don't require a jiggle. You just press it against the cylinder and it unlocks itself.
