One of the great things about making stuff out of leather is that there are many ways to skin a particular cat. Your design is very clever for being so efficient. I think that I would prefer the design in the OP as it appears to have more positive retention and the increased rigidity is less likely to rotate up on the belt during a hasty reload.

To each his own. Your right that is the good thing, likely i; m sure but it doesn't I know cause i have one or two. Anyway one thing i do know from actually making and using my design and looking at his is that the top flap hinders the reload more than anything, and it is the primary reason either style would rotate up on the belt not the speed loaders them selves they are not in tight, at least mine aren't it should be a one handed operation. You may notice my top flap is long enough it hangs a bit below the bottom allowing easier manipulation of the snap and flap, think upside down thumb break. The hand comes up from the bottom unsnapping and moving the flap at the same time. Unlike the Velcro on his the snap is much easier to unfasten so doesn't pull the holster with it. As you can see by the temporary attachments I did spend some time thinking and working this out. Make the snap tongue to long and it catches on stuff, make it to short and its not easy to open. if you want it stiffer then use heavier leather on the back strap. Just other options and ideas the man can use or not that's what the forum is for right?
