for speed reload, the california comp works saddles are the way to go. Kurt Miller (handlebar guy) shows how its done here at 00:30

Yeah if you notice he uses the 4 shot saddles. I have three of the six shot ones and not only do they dig into your sides during multigun shoots you can't get six in your hand at one time. At least I can't and I have large hands. I recently bought the 4x4s from SFRC which I believe S&J brought in. Much better.
 
A bunch of people have noted it, and I definitely agree:

I need some sort of shot shell carrier on the gun.

I've come so close to buying the S&J carriers multiple times. I just can't decide on size and colour. Might be something for new years.

I can't even follow/understand what he is doing at 00:30. Looks like he pulls shells out of thin air. I don't see them in his hand, but he is shoving 3 in every 2 seconds.

He is using shotgun shell carriers like these on his belt..

I used to use the six shot ones on the left but like I said earlier they jab into you and actually leave bruises after multigun matches plus the most that shooters can really grab is four at a time. The guy in the video had a couple of the four shot ones and he would grab all four in his hand at a time and feed them in then go back for four more. His tube held eight rounds. It takes a lot of practice.

This is the one I bought at SFRC. It's a 4x4 so you get eight but in two stacks of four.

in the video he is actually using the 6 shots saddles but leaves two at the bottom

Had to go back and look. Wonder why. I am not going to argue with his gear. He knows what he can do. I got sick of the six shot ones. The 4x4s are fairly new so maybe he hasn't see those yet. They would be perfect for him since he grabs four at a time.
 
yup...that was fast.

BTW...I voted slow. Mine need lots of work as well.

Monkeys butt that was pretty fast!, man, I know I need to practice harder...

BTW, I think the 4x4's work MUCH better than the single stack "classic" strippers.

More rounds, less space and it has a much better retention system.

I bought one to try out, then I bought 4 more to replace all of my classic strippers.
 
Fast reloads are all about economy of motion and muscle memory. I know you see a lot of youtubers loading over the top, but there's more risk of dropping the round. Try cupping the round and making it from underneath. Once the round is in the chamber your hand is in perfect position to close the slide. Whether you're chambering a round or thumbing, all your reloads begin the same way. Once you master that, there'll be very little need to look at the gun and you'll be able to keep your eyes downrange.
