Not very speedy - Bianchi 580 Speed Strips Pair, Black

This part is a flat, straight-line rubber strip that holds five .38 rounds. I bought it for my S&W J frame. It's not very speedy because to load rounds from it into the firearm, you must bend the stiff rubber strip into a curve to align each round with each chamber in the cylinder, and then press them out of the strip. Not effecient at all. By the time I loaded the rounds into the strip and contorted it to load into the firearm, I could have just popped the five rounds directly into the cylinder. Better off with the circular aluminum loaders. Bought this because it was cheap, don't see using it again. Really a 1 star, but gave 2 because it holds the rounds well and maybe can be used to store rounds in an organized manner. User would have to decide.
