The 45 AR round takes a different speed loader than 45 Colt due to the rim thickness difference. Sometimes you can make AR speed loaders work with Colt ammo, but not always. Many years ago I picked up a bunch of speed loaders for AR very cheap because of this. No one was wanting them at the time so we did some trading. The HKS ones I have are marked auto rim on the knob above 25. Not sure how the Colt models were marked.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MRW: I'm interested in this, as the charter arms seems to be the easiest way to get into a 45 revolver. I looked at two of these at a local gun show yesterday. Both were very roughly finished and assembled quite crudely. I know it's only a $400-450 gun, but even at that price point the level of finishing was low to me. |

I stumbled across a Smith 625-8 JM today at my LGS. My wife has picked it up for my Christmas present this year. I’m a lucky man!
It’s going to be sweet with my 325NG and 1917. Unfortunately I won’t get it till Christmas……. |

I recently borrowed some 45AR brass to test in a 44 magnum safariland comp 1. It jammed up due to the rim thickness.
I just acquired some repro SL variants in 44 magnum. I'm 87% sure the 45AR will fit these. |

One BIG plus in a revolver is you get to choose bullet profile based on efficiency rather than "will it cycle".
