The Speed Strips seem to be favored by the average citizen over the bulky speedloader. A filled speed strip lies flat in a pocket and can be accessed and used fairly quickly with a little practice. Much better than trying to manage a handful of loose cartridges.

Speedloaders are great but hard to carry concealed. Bianchi speed strips are the most effective way to easily carry extra ammo for your revolver. Easy to carry 6 rounds securely in your pocket. Loads 2 rounds at a time. They are inexpensive & very durable.

These are good for pocket carry as they are flat. After a little practice I can reload quite fast two rouds at a time.For the money though I'll just stick to the standard speed loaders.

I bought these speed strips to carry extra ammo for a J-frame S&W. While not exactly a speed loader, they do allow carrying extra ammo without the bulk of a speed loader. Perfect for concealed carry.

Pros:  Handy, quick,
Cons:  expensive!
Would recommend:  yes

I like these a lot - I've bought them several times in different calibers. They're really handy for revolvers; they make it easy to carry a cylinder full of extra rounds especially for the Blackhawk type of loading gate that can't use a speed loader or moon clip. But I do think they're way overpriced. I make some similar things out of rubber strip with holes for the cartridges, but that still leaves the primers exposed. The Speed Strips are safer.
