z6 makes speed loaders for revos (among other things). One product is a molded speed loader shaped with the rounds arranged in a circle rather than a strip.

Intriguing enough that I reached out to them to enquire about country of manufacture. Here is their response. Do with it what you will.

"Dear jukk0u,
CLIP is made in China, just like most cell phones and other electronics. However, we are working with the Small Business Administration to locate a US manufacturer.

It's been quite difficult to find a US manufacturer to mold our products. After our first two products, J-CLIP and J-STRIP were designed, we searched for six months to find a molder that could make them. They all told us the same thing, the sockets are too close together to mold. And they were correct, the sockets are too close together to mold using conventional molding methods. I am a manufacturing engineer and know molding processes very well.

A high-tech molder in Shenzhen, China that I know well molds components for iPhone and Android. They figured out how to mold them.

Working for thirty years all over the world in manufacturing, I learned that, for the most part, people are nice, kind, and family oriented. It is our governments that are terrible. This includes China.

I hope my closing comments do not offend you.

Thanks for asking.

Michael

I'd say that's an honest reply. The only thing missing would be something like this.
"They're made in Chinah only because after six months of looking for someone here in the US to make them, the Chicom came up with the cheapest price."
