Review of the J-Strip and J-Clip from Zeta-6
The company Zeta-6 sent a couple products to Justin, the Revolver Guy, to review: the J-strip (similar to the familiar speed strip) and a J-clip (a cross between a speed strip and speed loader). As the names suggest, both products are intended for S&W J-frame revolvers. Justin found the J-clip to be faster than a speed strip and more concealable than a speed loader, and so perhaps a good compromise for some people. He did, however, have one problem, which is when stripping the J-clip off the cartridges, it would sometime fling one of the cartridges. 4 is better than none, but when you only have 5 rounds to start with, you can't afford to lose one of those rounds.

My "2 minutes of gun talk in 1 minute" segment was somewhat scrambled, so let me summarize the point I was trying to make. I was ...
Thanks for referencing The Revolver Guy's review of the two Zeta6 speedloaders. The rubber material used for our speedloaders is, by design, about 10% softer than on other speedstrips. So when using the tap instead of holding the body, you could drop a round from J-Strip. But with just a little practice or by holding the strip body when stripping the speedloader from the rounds, you shouldn't ever drop a round.
ReplyDeleteWe wanted to leave the tab off of J-Strip, but it is helpful to tell which end of the strip has two rounds and which has only one. We solved this with the new symmetrical J-series strip called Sym-Strip that is launching at Shot Show.
Thanks again.

Thanks for your comment. I'm eager to see more about the Sym-Strip.
