After a suggestion in the Trolley Square thread, I got a pair of speed strips for my 638.
I have been trying them out, loading the gun again and again, and I am not sure I am loading them in best way possible.
Of course, this is alot slower than using a speedloader... but maybe there's some technique I am missing that speeds this up. Right now, I just put the first 2 rounds into chambers, and then sorta bend the strip back until they come off, then do it again, and then once more for that last round. I suppose it could be faster than just fishing 5 rounds out of my pocket and putting them in, but right now I am thinking of just carrying a speedloader instead of the strip, and maybe only using the strips when I don't have the room/width for the round speedloader.
Any thoughts on this?
