Bianchi/speed strips, speedloaders...
I've used a few Bianchi speed strips for several .357magnum/.38spl revolvers over the years,
. The speed strip was invented by John Bianchi,
www.bianchi-intl.com. Bianchi was a LAPD police officer and wanted a better way to carry .38spl rounds. This was 30 yrs ago,
.
Members here who say they can't work the rubber material to load a .357/.38spl round into the speed strip should think about the hands/strength,
. I've never had any problems with Bianchi strips.
For my big GPNY revolver I got a few Safariland Comp-2 format speedloaders. I'm not 100% sure they work the way I want but they are faster re-loads them speed strips.
Another good reason for the Bianchi speed strips is that if you have more than one .38spl or .38/.357 weapon, you can re-load either in a critical incident. That would be faster than to dump rounds out of different speedloaders or run around looking for loose .38spl or .357 ammo,

PS: speed strips conceal better too,
. And, as I found out here, you can fit them in Altoids mint cans,
