Belt mounted pouch (if so, which one) or do you just throw it in your pocket?

I have speedstrips but am thinking of augmenting them with a speedloader.

Safariland Comp 1 in their model 371 split-six holster when I had a J frame. Haven't found anything similar for the HKS M36 which my LCR requires.

Speed strips in the Dillon IHL speed strip wallet.

Two Speed strips in a belt clip small phone case. Found a perfect fit case at a "Five Below" store and its been holding up nicely for the past three years.

Speed loaders are harder to carry when in shorts and tee shirt and look like rocks in your pocket. Plus with the smaller five shot speed loaders I'm actually slower on my reloads with the snub then if I just use my speed strips doing a 2/2/1 recharge.

Speed loader loose in my left front pocket and J frame in a pocket holster in my right front pocket. That's when I don't feel comfortable concealing my usual carry, a gen3 Glock 30SF.

When I carry my 3" GP100, I use speed loader pouches from Simply Rugged. They wrap around the belt and contain the loader while the belt supports the loader by splicing the rounds with 3 outside the belt and 3 inside (rounds pointing down). This is the most compact way to carry speed loaders that I've found.

I carry speed strips in my pockets. I carry speed loaders in a jacket pocket once in a while. When I carried speed loaders in my pants pockets, the speed loader frequently managed to leave loose rounds in my pockets.

I would like to see a company develop a speed loader holder that hangs inside the pants between the navel and groin area. The holder could be to the left or right of center for obvious reasons. I don't think it would be any slower than digging a speed strip out of my pants pocket.

I carry my speed strip in the little 5th pocket of my jeans.

I can't verbally describe it well - but I straddle the top of my belt with the loader or moonclip. I run a thick rubber band from the knob, under he belt and back onto the knob. When grabbed with force - the rubber band breaks and flies off somewhere - and I'm ready to load.

Do you mind posting a picture of this set-up? Would it be possible for rounds to be pulled from the speedloader while removing it from the belt? I apologize if that's a dumb question :D I don't shoot revolvers often and never carry one.

2 speed strips in the storage wallet/pouch thing. It's either in my offhand back/cargo pocket or offhand jacket pocket. I don't use it on my belt like it's made to do.

Same here. I've looked long and hard and Simply Rugged's speedloader pouches as the cleanest solution yet.

Oh, and make my speedloaders Safariland Comp IIs

Sorry - but I'm a non-techy geezer, so pics are not in my future.

Only way you'll lose a round is the same way you'd lose one coming out of a pouch, i.e., twisting the loader knob.

HKS speedloaders loose in a pocket were the usual. I also could carry them in old Safariland holders which were a lot like the Simply Rugged.

nondominant side almost directly in front since it takes up almost no room.

Ok makes sense. I'm not familiar with revolver and their loaders. Thanks!

That Simply Rugged Split Speed Load Pouch is slicker than snail snot.

I carry my reloads in Del Fatti leather case.

I use the FMC when running my 625.

I use the SLC or SLC-2, depending on the speedloader.

The wait is long and the prices are a bit expensive, but they are well worth it.
