I like speed strips. They lay flat in your back pockets without any special pouches. I do better using a six round speed strip for a five round revolver, leaving the hole nearest the tab empty. That makes the gripping area larger and easier to grab.

Exactly. I like em too. I do the same thing; leave the last hole near the tab empty allowing for a better grip.
That’s why I use em in the summer with light clothing...a lot easier to conceal than a loader. Winter time, I just toss a couple of loaders in my coat pocket and go. I work at staying proficient with both methods. But yeah, I find myself leaning more towards the strips even though they’re a little slower to complete a reload with.
