I used speedloaders in closed pouches (remember real cops use revolvers).

I always kept them snapped shut. At times I would see if it was any faster leaving the holders locked.

I couldn't tell. You practice and get use to a close pouch, it wont make any difference.

Leaving them unsnapped or open you will notice when your speed loaders or clips flying across a bar room floor while you're wrestling drunks.

Thats police work, It works the same in SD carry in every day life. Like when I'm horse back riding. If I fall off, I don't want to spend the morning going through the brush looking for my speed loaders.

I can get my loaders (or mags) out of a snaped case with one hand while I'm dumping empties (or mag) with my shooting hand.
