Revolver speed strips.

Just as a word of caution they are not made for a lot of use. Mine started to tear after maybe a dozen uses.

That's weird - I have some that are still going strong after 10-12 years of fairly regular use. I do find the Tuff Products ones to be even better than the original Bianchi and use the .44 Mag ones to carry ammo for my .30-30's when I take them into the woods, which lets me keep round ball grouse loads separate from the 150 gr TSX loads for deer...

..Incidentally, the RCMP decided to switch to semi autos before a single member had been taught to use speed loaders, and before any member had needed to fire all the rounds on his belt - interesting, isn't it.

I just checked with a friend of mine here who was in the RCMP about 25 years ago (not sure where, though) and he said:
...If i remember - the idea was to give that little metal thing a twist and the bullets would plop out...part of our "kit" on the brown belt included a little pouch-like thing which i think contained two of these speedloaders. So i guess this meant that you would have 18 "killer 38 special" cartridges on you at all times... Seems kind of antique now...

By the sound of it, he may not really have been "taught to use speed loaders", as you say!

Sorry bud, they were hard to find in Canada and the .38 Special -.357 Mag variant also holds my 8MM Lebel rounds snuggly for my antique French 1892 revolver. A friend found a glut of them at Sportsmans Warehouse in Montana for $10 this past November.

Good luck in your search
 
Wow! It's been a loooong time since I thought about Speed Strips. Used to carry them (we weren't allowed to carry speed loaders) instead of just having a couple of dump pouches with 6 loose rounds in each. Used to lose rounds regularly that way - the flaps that closed over the dump pouches didn't fit tight, and the odd round would jiggle its way loose just from walking around. Fast forward to Glock days - 46 rounds of .40, ready to go....
 
I ordered the strips (with other stuff) from bond arms in Tx. They were great to deal with and had no problem shipping to Canada.
