I don't always carry a reload, but when I do I use a 2X2X2 pouch from Lobo Leather, these pouches hold a speed strip perfectly. Good looks and utility rolled into one package.
When I carry a reload, it's a speed strip. But the way I handle them, they're definitely slow strips.
I like Massad Ayoob's scalpel method.
I'm not fond of only loading the 5 rounds instead of 6 for a revolver but the 5 shot Tuff Products Quick Strip in safety orange makes it a non issue.
You-tuber & tactics trainer James Yeager(who advises not to use DA revolvers as main sidearms) said in one clip, he was trained a police method of reloading 2 rounds at a time in a critical incident, that way you were not left with a empty gun.
It's a smart technique but takes some effort to get down.
A "NY reload" or 2nd gun would be faster.
Those of you that carry a revolver for CCW, how many of you carry a reload?
Those that do carry a reload, how, exactly, do you carry it? Loose rounds? Speed Strips or speedloader? One full reload or more?
Where do you carry it? Pocket or belt?
Now, here's a question that requires a bit of reflection....how would you LIKE to carry it?
For example, if there was an easy way to carry a reload discreetly on the belt, would that be of interest?
I forgot to mention, an SKS clip will hold 10 357 mag rounds. I use that when I carry extra rounds in a bag.
