I've read where some guys are modifying their CJ stocks to use speed loaders. Before I went and did anything drastic, I looked at the various speedloaders out there.
All had one drawback for me - they were too bulky to comfortably carry. So I got a couple Tuff speedstrips to try out. Got to say I like them.
Clearly not as fast as as a speedloader, but faster than a dump bag and easier to carry than either loose rounds or speedloaders. Need to do more practice with them, but I think they will work great.
Now if it will just warm up a little so we can hit the range again...

Re: Speedloaders
I too prefer speed strips for my revolvers for that small amount of backup ammo. Lord knows I'm not gonna be able to handle and combat speed reloading anyway, and I just don't want the hassle of packing them honking big speed loaders.

Re: Speedloaders
The strips are great for carrying extra ammo for CCW. Small, light and handy. With a little practice, you can do pretty fast reloads with them, with no worry about fumbling and dropping rounds.
At my age, there IS nothing better than shooting.

Don't ask me to do anything where where I can't take Bible and Gun, I would leave Dog home, but reluctantly.

Re: Speedloaders
Update on this - after using the speed strips for a while, not really liking them. They just don't hold the rounds very securely. So I just got an HKS speedloader. Once I modify the stock I'll post pictures.
