[QUOTE="Glock 'em down, post: 1025624, member: 684"] No, the speed strips aren't as fast, but they do conceal better. In the heat of things, I doubt that the difference in their respective "swiftness of deployment" would be [I]that[/I] noticeable anyway. The thing I like about the speed strip over a speedloader is the certainty. They way I have my speedstrips loaded (first two holes charged, skip one, next three charged) I know for certain I'm gonna get those first two rounds loaded. After that, it is a possiblity that under stress, I could actually drop that strip. However... The tolerances are so tight on a J frame, the speedloader kinda binds up. If I were to inadvertantly drop it, I've now loaded [B]ZERO[/B] rounds into my empty revolver. When carrying a J frame on the belt, I carry a speed strip [B][I]and[/I][/B] a speedloader. When I'm just pocket carrying my EDC model 38 Bodyguard, I just carry the strip in the opposite front pocket. [/QUOTE]
