Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Speed strips for revolvers

I see a lot of you guys carrying strips with your revolvers for CCW. What brands do you prefer?

Bianchi strips work well.

Do the rounds have a tendency to want to fall out if you shove the strip in your back pocket?

Nope

Cool, thanks

I have couple 5-shot revolvers. I like strips with 6 round capacity, leaving one slot empty. They provide more grip area for faster reloads.

Same for me. I have used mostly Bianchi but the Tuff strips work just as well.

I have been using Bianchi 6 round strips for many years. I'm used to them, work them pretty quick, and feel confident about them.
I carry two at a time in a little leather pouch. Velcro closure, fits right in a pocket. A picture.

Never a problem with Tuff Strip or Bianchi.

Well, one little prob, sometimes I forget one in the side pocket of my carpenter jeans.

Thump, thump, thump goes the washer.

Bianchi

Quickstrips seem to work well and are priced right.

I carry all 6 rounds even though 5 will reload my SW 642. I figure that one extra round might come in handy some day. The strip really doesn't reload very fast, it is just an easy way to hold 6 rounds so they are not loose. I have carried everyday for 15 years.

This. And buy strips with a capacity at least one more than your cylinder takes. Two more is better. This way you leave one or two empty to acquire more gripping surface. Makes the operation of loading the cylinder much easier and faster.
