The reloading technique recommended for the speed strips usually specifies placing one less round in the strip to allow better grip. I was always shown this technique on the Bianchi’s strips. Does the same apply to the QuickStrips? Has anyone tried using 7 or 8 round strips for the 6-shooter?

Thanks!

I've been carrying Quick Strips for a while. I often load the eight-round .38 Special ones with six rounds leaving a space between each two rounds.
I think that makes it a bit easier to reload with them.

The gun I carry is usually a five-shot J-frame but having an extra round n the strip is insurance against dropping a cartridge. That just happened yesterday while I was practicing at the range but I was able to go on and fill the cylinder full anyway.

When carrying one of my .41s, and the six-round Quick Strips as a reload, I fill the strips with six rounds.
 
I carry speed strips and consider them a great way to top off the guns when the shooting is over. IMO, the name "speed strip" is an oxmoron, but perhaps others are more dextrous than I am. I just pull another gun and keep shooting. I wouldn't overthink things. I carry every round the things will hold.
 
full house

I carry them with all available holes filled...

...and in a drop pouch.

I use the 8 round strips to carry my reload for my 642, I load all 8 holes on the strip.

I carry the strips in my pocket typically.

I am familiar with the downloaded strip concept, but I see no need for it personally.
 
I just purchased two of the small pouches and three packs of the five round .38 Quick Qtrips. They seem pretty nice and are very compact. After a little practice with them I can load alsmost as easy as with the Bianchi speed strips. They do seem to be made of a harder or stiffer material. This combination keeps everything for my 642 small and flat. TC

The speed strips are to be thrown from the hand the instant the last round is chambered. You do not want any live rounds in the strip when you throw it to the ground.

For a 5-shot revolver you want 2 strips holding 5 rnds. each.
I do find that leaving the last hole empty gives me a more secure hold on the strip.
 
You? how do you know?

Can you say "I" and make it more personal? Sorry, couldn't resist.
 
Has anyone tried one of these? A "Wilderness Stretchable Ammo Thing" from Wilderness Tactical. Saw it advertised in the latest issue of SWAT magazine and I'm thinking about getting one to try so as to clip to my backback or inside of my jacket.

Couldn't you shove it back in your pocket about as quick as you could throw it?
