Bianchi 580 Speed Strips 38 Special and 357 Magnum Package of 2

I used Speed Strips for years as a police officer. They are still handy for holding bullets for casual shooting. Not as fast as other speedloaders, but doing two cartridges at a time, you can get the job done fast enough. They fit very well in pockets if you are in a state that has concealed carry and do not want to be obvious, and they never jam or malfunction.

All I can say is that these things are great!

I have kept a strip in my back pocket for about 7 months now and it is still in excellent conditon.

Absolutely the best way to carry spare ammunition for a small revolver. Who actually carries a full speedloader when carrying a snubbie? These are easy to carry, very durable, and simple to use. When you add the price, it's something every revolver owner should own. Buy several, and don't worry if you lose one.

Extremely handy and a great idea. With practice they are almost as fast as speedloaders, and they are considerably cheaper and easier to conceal. I would choose these over a speedloader for concealed carry or keeping ready rounds at home. (I would probably stick with a speedloader for competition or open carry law enforcement use.) These are difficult to load when brand new but break-in noticeably after 5-6 uses. I have found them easiest to load by putting them down on a solid surface like a bench.

Great product.. I use these when I carry my 642. I have never had a problem with these. Rounds stay in without falling into pocket!

Perfect for the casual pocket reload or in the car. It even works with .40S&W cartridges when you can't carry a full mag.

I have used speed strips for many years for personal shooting, and I carry one daily for a reload for my backup gun (I am a police officer), as well as my off-duty gun (1 speedloader, one speed strip). Great for concealed carry, esp. in a pocket. That's always a problem with speedloaders-- too bulky to carry on a pocket, and it's hard to find a concealment speedloader case unless you wear a shoulder rig. I have a couple of strips that have been loaded for years, and occasionally used, with no ill effects. I have a fair number of spares too.....

Though not as quick as speed loaders, this product is like lightning compared to loading single rounds from a pocket, or out of loops. This product also is the most concealable way to carry extra revolver ammo in a loader....they lay flat in the pocket and are comfortable.

I have several sets of these which i got 15 years ago. They always were there whenever I needed them. 5 years ago, I noticed that some of them were cracked, resulting in no longer being able to hold the ammo. now all of them are cracked, and those that were not flexed so much simply broke off the end tab instead. I know that some things, especially when made with a flexible plastic, should not be expected to last forever. It would have been nice if they would've lasted for 20 years, though. I guess I will have to buy some new ones to replace the cracked ones. All things considered, these speed strips are unique in their design, and they do as advertised very well. If you have a need for this product, do not hesitate to buy some.

I have had mine for 10 years before one snapped in half. But they've mainly been loaded (and not flexed) for much of that time. It was just recently that one broke as I had to put the ammo in its original package for air travel. They're great for compact ammo storage in a fanny pack.

I have been packing a set of these for several months now to see how they compare to my traditional speed loaders. I can say that they fit well in a pocket and are comfortable to carry but I don't see where the "speed" description applies. On several trips to the range I drilled over and over with this product using a few J frames and an SP101. Using the speed strips I found that when attempting reloads under stress, I would slam two rounds in the cylinder and as I pulled the strip to release the rounds they would pop back out of the cylinder and fall to the ground. Not a good trait. This will not do if the time comes. I also found that this product required me to take my eyes off the threat in order to perform the reloads where as traditional speed loaders do not. All four revolvers performed the same way. If I slowed down the drill, sacrificing time, I was able to get the rounds to stay in the cylinders but still was unable to keep focus on the threat. Bottom line, this product has it's place and is certainly more comfortable to carry than traditional speed loaders. However, unless you have plenty of time to bring down your heart rate, focus on the cylinder and not the threat they they will probably work for you. I am not going to take that chance and have gone back to traditional loaders when I have to carry a small revolver.
