1. Self-locking chambers for speed loaders, the self locking chambers comprising;

  • a receiving surface positioned to receive and support cartridges, the receiving surface having a length and a width;

    an alignment wall extending from a long edge of the receiving surface along the length of the receiving surface;

    a locking block extending from a short edge of the receiving surface along a portion of the width and extending along a long edge of the receiving surface for a portion of the length, wherein the locking block is spaced away from the alignment wall such that the locking block, the alignment wall, and the receiving surface collectively define a channel that is sized to permit cartridges to slide from the receiving surface, between the locking block and alignment wall, into a magazine that is positioned adjacent to the channel, and wherein the locking block, working in conjunction with the alignment wall, is configured to restrain cartridges from moving laterally while positioned in the channel; and

    multiple spaced-apart partition walls operatively coupled relative to the receiving surface, wherein the partition walls are parallel to the alignment wall, wherein each partition wall defines a cut out that is sized to receive the locking block, wherein the partition walls are configured to facilitate receipt of multiple rows of cartridges onto the receiving surface and host received cartridges in areas of space between each of the partition walls defined as chambers, wherein the partition walls are configured to translate laterally relative to the receiving surface toward the alignment wall for the successive alignment of each chamber with the channel, and wherein during each chamber'"'"'s successive alignment with the channel, the partition walls that border each successively aligned chamber are configured to be locked from lateral movement by the cartridges of each successively aligned chamber that are urged into the channel and restrained from lateral movement by the locking block and the alignment wall.
