I've used speed strips for decades. While they're not as fast as speed loaders, with a little practice, they can come close, and they are a lot easier to carry in your pocket.
The biggest mistake I've seen people make using strips is trying to chamber one round at a time. Starting at either end, I twist off two at a time, flip the strip to the other end and strip off those two, and finish twisting off the middle two.
With a little practice, you can do a reload in a tad over two seconds.
