Perhaps it is silly to wonder about this. When using speed strips to carry extra cartridges for a J Frame, should one have five rounds in it or six?
While having one extra "wouldn't hurt", It is difficult to imagine a situation where a person would shoot all five in the revolver, reload, shoot another five, and then have one left over to load by itself and shoot. Two speed strips would ultimately have two remaining, etc. Maybe carrying five speed strips with six rounds could ultimately result in five extra rounds to fully load the cylinder, but it seems to get more and more unreasonable to think of this.
Another more practical question to ponder would be how many speed strips should be carried.
Is there a best way to carried speed strips? Is just in a pocket ok?
