OK, I'll fess up, I carry a speed strip or two as my reload for my J-frame. I have practiced with them, but not nearly as much as I should.
On the plus side, the J-frame is strictly a backup for me, both on and off-duty. So far I have not made it to the range to qualify with my SP101. Once I do, I'll be carrying it as a primary off-duty from time to time. When that happens, I expect I'll be carrying a speed loader on my belt with the SP and speed strips as backup reloads for either the SP or J-frame.
I will say this however, I've been toying with the idea of shooting the SP101 at an IDPA match (not a BUG match) and seeing how I do with a 5-shooter. Pwrtool45 has inspired me though, when I do it, I'm going to reload with speed strips or a combination of one speed loader and one or two speed strips.
