BIANCHISpeed Strips, Nylon - Pair,Black

Bianchi invented the speed strip back in the mid 1960s. Half a century later they’ve passed the test of time because they’re still making them plus they’re still the top brand despite having competition. The strips I got fit .38 and .357 caliber bullets but they also make a strip that holds .44 or .45 caliber too. Bullets are easy to push into the strip where they’re held in place by the rim of the cartridge. You can reload your revolver faster because you can fit two bullets into their chambers at once before you peel the strip away. It’s very easy to conceal these because of their flat profile and they are small enough to go inside the watch/coin pocket of jeans. You can easily put them in a regular pocket but I prefer not to unless said pocket is completely empty because I don’t want lead from the bullets getting over my phone, keys or anything else I happen to have in it. Another reason I wouldn’t want to keep it in a pocket with other items is because I don’t want them getting in the way when I’m reaching for the strip. If I do have stuff in my pockets I’ll use a Tuff Products size 2 pouch on my belt.Compared to the Tuff Products QuickStrip these are easier to use since the material isn’t as stiff and the Tuff Products QuickStrips normally have a slight curve which fans the bullets outward necessitating an adjustment when you’re loading your gun. However, the Tuff Products QuickStrips do have more options since they’re available in different colors, more calibers and several capacities. The DeSantis Swift Strip is an honest to god complete equal to the Bianchi Speed Strip and you can’t go wrong with either of them but the SwiftStrip is currently only available in .38/.357 caliber. All in all this is probably the best speed strip out there.

Worked as expected, satisfied would order more, can use with several of my revolvers.

Bianchi's speed strips work just as you would expect them to. Very easy to use, easy to reload cartridges when you have time. The best feature is how well they hold cartridges for a reload in your pocket. No fumbling around with shells pointing which way and that, no pocket lint issues. The speed strip lays flat and doesn't print.

They're a bit overpriced ($11) for two little pieces of plastic, but they seem to be of good quality, time will tell. I have them filled with .38 special for my revolver. They can be a little tricky when loading since they sort of snap down into the strips. They do come in a Safariland bag because they own the Bianchi name brand. I probably won't purchase anymore of them solely because I only need two, but the price is a bit of a deterrent as well. Overall I'm happy with the purchase.

You can't get more low profile for extra rounds for your wheelgun. Retains rounds well, yet easy to extract. If you are looking to add reload ability to your EDC, this is the solution. Worth the price to try if you are on the fence.

They carry well and w work

It works like a charm

Unlike with a speeds loader, ammo lies relatively flat. Easy to use. Good value for the price.
