I haven't ever carried a concealed firearm, so I guess I don't understand the question. Is it in reference to carrying a speed strip for reloading in a watch pocket, or the odd looking bullet the visible cartridge is loaded with, or the fact that the loading strip is visible, or about using a straight strip to carry cartridges for a round revolver cylinder? I apologize for being so clueless, but I am really nonplussed.

PS - Amazingly, "nonplussed" is a word the spellchecker here recognizes, whereas it objects to "defence". Computers are hard to understand.
 
Hopefully there is a bottom lube groove with lube in it.

It's common to load bullets long to get the nose of the bullet into the leade of the cylinders for target work. These bullets are crimped in the bottom lube groove.

I don't do that with sd loads myself but it looks like there's a roll crimp over the middle drive band/bottom of the lube groove.

Perhaps a heavy bullet (180gr/200gr) loaded in shorter cases (38s&w/38spl) for a 38spl/357mag???
 
On the rare occasion that I carry my p238, I’ll keep a spare mag in that tiny watch pocket.
Works perfectly.
(And yet another mag in a mag pouch on my weak side)
 
Well .. I carry everyday ... I have carried speed strips in the watch pocket ... I like carpenter jeans
and carry speed strips or a magazine in the ruler pocket ...

I have recently been running a BUG in my watch pocket- NAA .22 Short with Boot Grip.

Same here, sometimes, though mine is in .22LR, and it's usually a third. I'm left-handed, so it's turned around to make it easier to reach with either hand, crossdraw style. That also allows me to slide my cellphone case over it some to cover it.

There is a deep and wide lube groove. These shoot best when loaded to this length. And yes there is most definitely a crimp over the driving band.
