For those of you just coming ion on this Bianchi makes a rubber strip that carries 6 rounds of either .357 magnum or .38 Special. The rounds are peeled off one at a time, directly into the cylinder.Quicker and more secure than a dump pouch or trying to load single rounds one at a time, which can be bungled easily under stress. The Speed Strip is flat and can be laid flat in a pocket without the having to try and hide the bulk of a speed reloader. One may need to reload several fresh rounds into the chambers instead of all five or six depending on how many shots your snub revolver carries. There is also a 2by2byt2 ammo carrier that goes on ones gun belt. One fires two rounds,ejects the two spent casings, and repeats the process several more times. Keeps one's revolver constantly charged without having to use up all the ammo in the cylinder when it may be needed most. Gunfights never happen acoording to plan. One fires two rounds, opens the cylinder and strokes the ejector rod with the left hand or thumb to bring all the cartridges about half way out of the cylinder chambers while pointing the guns nose downward at about 45 degrees. Release the ejector rod back to normal position and the full cartridges should fall back in the chambers. Empty casings will remain halfway out. With the fingernails or fingers, pull the empty or flick the empty casings to the ground. Grab two fresh rounds form the holder and insert. Close the cylinder and it is back up and running. Circumstances during the battle may not allow for this method to be used. So a all three forms of reloading should be practiced many times until it becomes second nature and one does not think about it. They just do it. Something different for everyone. Bianchi Speed Strips are cheap , but well made. Have Speed strips and HKS speedloaders and practice with both.Haven't had any trouble with HKS, but then like firearms, a bad one does slip through every once in a while.
