does anybody know if a speedloader is available for the judge? have a couple of friends in need of a couple if they are available.
Also is there a reamer available to ream out the cylinder of the 45/410? I know I could also do this with a split steel rod and emery cloth, but would rather go the reamer route if possible.
Thanks John

In reading the listing for speedloaders on Midway, I've come away with the impression that those made for the Charter Arms .44 special will work for the Judge's .45 Colt loads. Come to think of it, I have that speedloader and a Judge. I'll try it and post on it later.

Just out of curiosity, why and to what degree do you want to ream out the cylinders on your Judge.

My speedloader is an HKS and it accepts the .45 Colt loads and would insert into the Judge cylinder except that the thumb-rest portion of the Judges grips tilts it enough to prevent complete entry of the cartridges. It appears to me that if you could reduce the thickness of the thumbrest portion of the grip there'd be no problem. I'm not sure how this could be done with the rubber grips in such a way as to retain some favorable aesthetic quality.

Stuffit, thanks for the quick reply and checking your own speedloader. This is a friends Judge". I am going to ream the throats of my Raging bull .45lc, and while I have the reamer in hand, we thought we might as well uniform the throats of his 2 Judges as well.
All we shoot in these revolvers is cast, so we kind of need to uniform the throats for best accuracy.
Thanks again John
