Installed hogue rubber grip on my 686P which I love. But now I realized that the grips impede the quick use of speedloader. Has anybody run across this issue and what have you done to the grip to allow the use of the speedloader?
Thx in advance.

I have used speed strips if a set or grips impeded my ability for the speedloaders.

Use different grips. You can also cut away the section of the Hogue grip that interferes with the speedloader. It won't look like much, but it'll solve the problem.

I guess It's dremmel time.

Mark the boundaries for speedloader clearance on the grips. Remove the grips from the gun and put them in the freezer. When frozen hard, recontour the grips within those boundaries by hand or carefully by dremel, periodically testing clearance and fit on the revolver. Works like a charm, with no WECSOG appearance.

This. ^^^^

I used an abrasive wheel that is specific for cutting plastic but a sanding drum also works.
