these are however very popular with J-frame users , not as fast but not nearly as fat in the pocket , or prone to dumping rounds

Thanks Pete, I looked at them but “air weight” was not listed.

the HKS that greencountypete provided may be wrong. I have both the speed strips and a HKS for my J frame. My HKS is a 35, link below, shows its for j frame.

Edit**** I stand corrected. I never bothered to count the rounds the loader holds in the link. But at least they feller has options lol.

I looked at the air weight model https://www.smith-wesson.com/product/model-340pd

then matched the model to the description

the jframes as I understand it have a 5 and 6 shot version but a 5 shot regular to a 5 shot air weight have the same spacing on the cylinder

I have one for my Smith 38 Air Weight. I don't have it with me, but when I go home I can check and see where I got it or what kind it is. It works fine.
I'll let you know tomorrow.

When I had to qualify in the revolver days the instructors were not keen on speed loaders, they liked the strip loaders instead, loads 2 at a time and takes about the same time instead of lining up all 6 in a speed loader, plus they're easy to carry in a pocket., YMMV

The Lyman competition J frame speed loader is an pentagon shape instead of round. This gives enough clearance to get by the cylinder release, which the round loaders can hang up on.

The speed strips are also useful.

"Speed" is are pretty optimistic description when talking about loading a J frame

I use moon clip with my S&W. The cylinder have to be cut to use them. Some ammo fits better than others.
