Welcome to TFB’s Wheelgun Wednesday, where we take a look at as many aspects of revolvers as we can, one week at a time. Today, we’ll take a look at a newly available speedloader, called the Wrapid Loader. The aptly named Wrapid Loader uses links to hold revolver cartridges, between which are housed some springs to wrap the connected links into a cylinder shape. Because of the springs, the Wrapid loader can be carried flat in a belt pouch, but when deployed, it returns to the designated cylindrical shape to reload a revolver. The shooter then pulls the ring at the end of the loader, and the links release their cartridges one by one as the revolver’s cylinder turns from the force.

Our longtime, loyal, wheelgunning readers may recall that the linking reloader design isn’t a brand new one, but was actually patented in 1988, which I reported on as one of my very first articles with TFB. At the time of that article, the linked loading design didn’t seem to have enough people busting down the doors to have them mass produced, until now.
