Are any of you guys regular habitual users of stripper clips when you load magazines or keep a healthy horde of ammo loaded onto them?
I know there are probably more modern, efficient mag loaders but do alot of you guys find them to be practical and relevant to your "Hit the Fan" prepping scenario or are they kind of a relic of a time past?
I've never really used them, but I put together a little battle pack today and loaded a can full of ammo on clips for the heck of it and it was at this time I realized that they are compatible with P-Mags, something I never knew. I just erroneously assumed they were for use with USGI mags...
I got to thinking about it and was wondering if people on here were fans of them and if there were any modern day "bandoliers", an updated departure from the old Vietnam era 5.56 bandoliers. Just curious.
I have never really given them much thought, I more or less subscribed to the school of thought that a truckload of magazines would negate the need for strippers but after thinking about it for a prep stash or bug in/bug out scenario they might be something not to dismiss as I have up to this point. I know they could be efficient to use at the range for some folks, not really an issue for me because I really dont mind taking time to load magazines at the range, I'm a fast loader and I think it would hinder my conservation efforts more than anything and I dont burn up cases of ammo on a range trip, especially not now but was just wondering What do you guys think about them in general?
