Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best ways to carry backup ammunition for a revolver?

The most efficient methods for carrying backup ammunition for a revolver include speed strips, speed loaders, and moon clips. Speed strips are flat and allow for partial reloads, while speed loaders and moon clips offer faster full cylinder reloads but are bulkier.

What is a speed strip for a revolver?

A speed strip is a flexible strip that holds individual rounds of ammunition in place. It allows for quick loading of one or more rounds into a revolver cylinder and is designed to be flat and easy to carry in a pocket without printing.

How do moon clips work for revolvers?

Moon clips are thin metal rings that hold multiple rounds of ammunition together. They require the revolver's cylinder to be modified (milled) to accept them, allowing for very rapid reloading of the entire cylinder at once.

What are the advantages of using a speed strip over a speed loader?

The primary advantage of a speed strip is its flat profile, making it discreet for pocket carry. Additionally, speed strips allow for partial reloads, meaning you can replace only the rounds you've fired, which is not typically possible with a standard speed loader.
