What's Best?

What is the better option for concealed carry?

Should you carry speedloaders? Or Speedstrips? What are the pros and cons of each?

Thanks

Speedloaders load the gun faster. Speedstrips are flatter, thus easier to carry, not printing much.

I've never used speedstrips, but from the looks a speed loader would be easier and faster to re-load. All 6 rounds (or 5 or whatever depending on your gun) are loaded at once, rather than once at a time.

They (speedloaders) are harder to conceal, but not as bad as a spare magazine for a auto loader.

Lukily for you they are both rather cheap, buy some of each and try them out. See what suits you best.

When I carried a sixgun as a primary duty weapon, and a fivegun as a back-up, I used both speedloaders and Speed Strips. Nowadays, I use mostly the strips, due to compactness, and because I rarely carry just one revolver anyway; the second handgun is the primary reload. There are still times I use speedloaders; they are faster, and I became quite smooth in speedloading back in the day. Smooth = fast when using speedloaders.
