For years, Bianchi Speed Strips have been an effective method of carrying an extra load of ammunition for your .38 or .357 revolver.  I have personally used and recommended the Speed Strips to a lot of people needing extra ammo when carrying concealed.

However, for calibers other than .38/.357, shooters were out of luck.  That has changed with the introduction of  the Quick Strips from Tuff Products.

Tuff Products has brought a line of ammunition carriers to market that appear to be very similar to the old Speed Strips, but the Quick Strips are available in a wide range of calibers.  The currently available calibers are:

• .22 rimfire (10 rounds)
• .327 Federal Magnum (8 rounds)
• .38 Special/.357 Magnum (6 rounds or 8 round models)
• .410 shotshell
• .44 Special/.44 Magnum (6 rounds)
• .45 Colt (6 rounds)
• .460 S&W Magnum (6 rounds)
• .475 Linebaugh (6 rounds)
• .480 Ruger (6 rounds)
• .500 S&W Magnum (6 rounds)

Additionally, new calibers are scheduled for release in May: the .41 Magnum, .45 autorim, .500 Linebaugh, and .50 Bowen Special.

Tuff Products sells the Quick Strips in two packs for $8.49 on their website.
