Are all revolver speed loaders the same for a 5 shot .38?

Basically a friend has a little snubnose 38 and I want to surprise him with a couple of speed loaders. I think its a taurus but dont know the exact model of his gun. Its a 5 shot so will any 5 shot .38 speed loader work ?

I dont want to ask him as if I do I think he will figure out that something is up.

    The model you probably want is a HKS SPEED-LOADER 36-A. It will cover Smith and Wesson, Charter Arms, Rossi, Ruger, and even Taurus.

    So the other answerer is probably correct, there are several 5 shot models that all run the same diameter of cylinder and bullet spacing.

    HKS makes a pretty good speed loader, very compact, not too expensive. Another brand worth looking at though is Safariland, because they are a "bump" loader design which I like a little better.
