The Speed Strip Revolver Reload

    Glad to see they admit that “speed strips” aren’t all that speedy. They are easier to carry if you are carrying your revolver, but they take a while to reload, and they take a long time to get used to.

    I prefer speed loaders, since I don’t like the idea of having a gun cut from moon clips.

    To each his own… or it takes a difference of opinion to have a horse race.

    I find using so-called “speed” strips to be no speedier than loading the cartridges one by one from my belt slide or pocket. And I’m a fumbling idiot trying to use a speed loader. I just cant seem to get the hang of using them.

    In warm weather I carry my extra revolver cartridges on a belt slide. In cold weather I carry them in a jacket pocket since they’re easier to get to there than getting to the belt slide.

    As anything else, strips take a little practice. I carry 18 extra rounds in Bianchi Speed Strips for my EDC J-frame. When I carried a 686 on duty I had 6 extra strips after the speed loaders. There is no fumbling if you practice doing it right, as with any other skill.

    BTW, I deal with neuropathy and can feel almost nothing with fingertips. If I can do it, anyone can.

    For a 5 shot S&W J, the 4 shot setup for the speed strip makes sense.

    Even more sense is to carry a second 5 shot S&W J frame.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
