I was going to say my LCRs are "take out the trash" guns, but that could be misinterpreted so I'll say they're my "doing stuff around the house when I'm not armed" guns. No reload, just what's in the gun. I've been using a .38 Spc LCR but I just bought a .327 Fed Mag LCR so once I vet it, it'll be six rounds. In the rare instance I go somewhere while carrying one, then I'll carry a speed strip too.
Today:
Six in a 2" Model 10 with another half-dozen in a safariland Comp-II. Eight in a Ruger LCR. Plus a GWAR cassette backed up by a Nazareth cassette.
I have my .22 LCR in my offhand front pocket, and most of the time a .38 LCR AWIB. If I have a 38 I have a speedstrip with 6 rounds in my watch pocket.
If I feel like John Wick that day I may carry my 2” model 64 with six in the gun and a speedloader beside it AIWB, with a speedstrip in my watch pocket.
I live in the country by a small town so I don’t have a very high risk.
Could you tell more about the speed strip with the RASC pocket clip? Is that a pocket clip that is manufactured as part of the speed strip, or did you attach a clip to a speed strip?Originally Posted by rcbusmc24
(also, I call them "slow" strips, cuz.. they ain't speedy in my hands)

Same here, and same with an LCP. Which is why I moved on to the G42 as my minimalist gun. Now it's 9 in the G, 8 in a spare mag.My revolver is an I’m not carrrying a gun, gun. So it’s 5 rounds and wishful thinking.

Beware of my temper, and the dog that I've found...
I voted for the OP is crazy.
I can check every box, sometimes multiple in a day because it all depends, this is where the revolver shines for me. From my LCR 9 to my M29 the manual of arms is the same, the Python changes it up a little with the pull for cylinder release tho. I can go from mouse to moose and just for a few exceptions not even change the holster I'm wearing.
Load out usually progresses something like this. 5 or 6 is plenty > ok I'll drop a few loose rounds in a pocket > I might need a speed strip full > duel speedloaders in split sixes is enough > ok a second gun in pocket just to be sure. You're making me go to the big city? Well, I better grab a bottom feeder, a couple spare 15 rounders and a bug.
^^^^I can't see dropping loose rounds in a pocket. I've already got too much stuff in my pockets - the main reason I don't pocket-carry my J frames - and I'd never find them if I needed them.

if the loadout doesn't dissuade 'em, a splash of GWAR stage juice might do the trick!

Went hiking yesterday and carried my 442 on my hip, under a hoodie, with two 6 shot speedstrips in my strong side (right) jeans pocket. When I carry my 442, that's almost generally what I carry. I have at times added two more speedstrips.
But this isn't my normal carry. Typically I carry a Ruger Max 9 with a CT1550 RDS and a 12rd. mag, in a DeSantis OWB holster at 3 o'clock, with two more 12rd mags in a double mag holster on my left hip, at 9 o'clock. For work. where firearms are not allowed, there might be a Ruger LCP Max with 12rd mag and two more 12rd spares in a nondescript back pack of some sort. Or there might not.
