Maybe not most importantly... but certainly significant to mention is that you can 'top off' you cylinder with these if you've only fired two or three shots. Can't do that with a speedloader.
@jrmyscttwds Right but why would you? Just fire all six and dump them out. Topping off the cyl is a pain in the balls because you have to take out those 2 empty shells, so you can't just push them all out like you would if you fired all 6. If you really wanted to "top off your cylinder" then you could just do it manually just as fast.
@jrmyscttwds That is a good point, but is there a reliable way to eject just the spent cartridges from a revolver? The ejector rod will dump all of them.
@jrmyscttwds You know, sitting in a gunfight counting your empties and pulling them without removing the loaded rounds accidentally is a little bit impractical. You'll probably punch all the rounds and shove them into a pocket.
@John234pwns First, not everything is a gun fight. Secondly, if you're reloading a revolver after a defensive shooting without firing all of your shots, then you're probably not in immediate danger. Lastly, a revolver plus a reload is usually between 10-12 rounds total on your person. if I fire less than 5 shots, I'd rather keep the remaining live rounds versus dumping them and lowering my total rounds available.
@jrmyscttwds Well, you're hardly in a rush to reload on the range, so I can't see how a speed strip is primarily applied to that, rather than defensive use. You have a point about reloading during a lull, but generally speaking, you should try to take the least time possible to do so. So it seems a bit silly to pick out the live empties - I would personally throw all the rounds, casing and live rounds into a pocket.
I used to carry these back in the early 80's before our dept allowed semi-auto's. Before stepping up to speed loaders I used these strip clips (made by Bianchi at the time). Why I just didn't use speed loaders from the beginning I'll never know, but the qualifying time limits decreased and we had to shave some time somewhere. Reload times were the first place anybody would start with, so I changed over to speed loaders and had time to spare. Duuhhhh . . .
@stealthyshooter not if u carry a j frame all day in a pocket... there to bulky.. the strips lay flat and can be loaded almost as quick as a speed loader if u practice... bought the speed loader for my mom to carry with her 642 cause she carrys in her purse.. me on the other hand carry the 442 with CT LG 405s front pocket or my glock 27 in the crossbreed dependin on the weather....
Bianchi Speed Strips for .38/.357 are the same basic thing and have been around for several decades; I have 10 Bianchi Strips (6 opened and used for CCW/practice and 4 still in the package as replacements; I am considering getting Tuff strips that hold .44 spl/.44 mag/ .45 colt to supplement my speedloaders
yup, if you listen to the interview with Natt Stevens of Tuff Products on the 6/7/09 America Armed & Free you'll hear that Natt used to work at Bianchi and developed these for all the other calibers besides .38 because Bianchi wasn't interested in doing it
@DaPingas Those were for "no-clip"/built in clip rifles :o

@GunWebsites yea yours has a unique loading design and you do not "strip" the rounds off. you peel them with yours. so its not a stripper clip.
