The Tuff Quick Strips are injection molded from a flexible urethane material
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. Read More→
USCCA: U.S. Concealed Carry Association
Posted by: | CommentsThe U.S. Concealed Carry Association is an organization founded by Tim Schmidt to address the unique needs and concerns of law abiding U.S. citizens exercising their rights to carry a firearm for self defense.
