Better than loose cartridges
I have the S&W Model 34-1 Snub Nose J-Frame .22LR revolver, so reloading two rounds at a time from a ten round strip into a six cartridge cylinder is not very practical (doesn't work very well), however, having ten rounds all lined up and facing the same direction, makes reloading one cartridge at a time infinitely faster than fumbling with a bunch of loose cartridges, so I'm very happy to have these speed strips. If they ever come up with some strips made for the Model 34, I'll be glad to have a look, but I've no complaint about using these ten round strips until that happens - they work for me.
Excellent Product!
One thing on "Quick Strips", I read this before I purchased. I use on a 5-shot revolver, it's best if you don't use all 6 spaces as it makes for a quicker reload process.
Very handy, works great, lasts long time
These work great. Easy to add shells, hold 2 extra than the revolver, can have multiple types of cartridges (.38, .38+p, .357) Lightweight in my pocket and always have extra ammo. Do not bulge like a speed loader would.
Great for Single Actions & derringers
Once upon a time, long, long ago these were a Bianchi Leather item. GREAT for loading Single Action Revolvers or derringers.
Bianchi Speed Strips made better
A great way to carry spare ammo in your pockets.
Better than Speed loaders
I have a 44 mag I take in the woods with me when hunting or hiking and keep one in my pocket and more in my pack. Not as fast as a standard speed loader but they are not as bulky so they are easier to carry and are much faster than hand loaning and it's quiter than keeping a box in you pack.
Just what I expected and needed
This is what I expected. Easy to operate, bullets stay in the quick strip while in my pocket. Price was okay.
A quiet way to carry .22 rimfire
I use these to carry back-up ammo when I'm carrying a .22 (LR or Magnum, whichever) revolver, generally in the field. I find that a couple of them nestled in a small plastic case (to keep off lint, etc.) are all I need. Convenient to load from, using the technique taught by Mas Ayoob, but not especially fast. The plastic on these is a little firmer than that on the original Bianchi speed strip product, but I've never had it tear or anything - the Tuff Strips are a little more difficult to load, however. Not an issue, just an observation.
Ignore the Dimwit...these are AWESOME...
these are a MUST for anyone who carries a Ruger Blackhawk or similar Single-Action while Hunting, Hiking, Riding or Camping...They are the easiest way to keep spare ammo available and easy to handle for reloads... Leave the other reviewer to his grumbles--these are a great addition to any Single Action Gearbag
hard as a rock
Hard as a rock. Getting rounds into them is a chore. Unloading them into a cylinder is fine. I have tried heat, flexing them when loaded to stretch them, to no avail. Loading these strips is not a pleasant job. Sore thumbs!
