    Those jox pouches look interesting...

    I'll try the 2_2 and time it next session. Thanks again for the info.

    Edit: for almost 20 years I carried 6 on a speed strip with a 5-shot revolver, figuring you never know when you might need that 6th round. I eventually decided that the additional finger purchase on the strip afforded by that empty 6th spot was worth more than the admittedly far-fetched 6th additional round...

    For me, I found four rounds together on a five round strip to be more positive in handling. Best explanation I can muster... Four rounds leaves a finger tab at both ends, to peel whichever two rounds hit the cylinder without fussing. Five can be done, it just wasn't as smooth.

    I use speedstrips mostly loaded two space space two for a total of four.

    But when I carry speedloaders I use Ted Blocker speedloader clips. You can carry them entirely inside the belt or half in and out or all the way out.

    eb07; what holster(s) in those pics please?

    Side note; playing with AIWB recently, I noticed that a J-frame actually prints more than a P2000sk due to the wheel-gun being much shorter and being more easily leveraged outward by my 'girth'.

    Top one is a blade tech. Nice holster sat too high. Went to galco stow and go on bottom. Low ride. Give up draw speed for concealment.
