Speed strip carrier

[APS]

That's what I use if I carry the speed strip on my belt.

Some people carry two "Speed" or "Quick" strips in a pocket. You can use a 6 round holder, but only load 4 rounds in them.

(the tab-round-round-empty hole-round-round-empty hole) UNDER DURESS, ESPECIALLY FOR A CIVILIAN, this gives you 3 places to try to hold and manipulate the strip.

That holster seems to indicate you would be better off carrying an extra mag.

The Dillon-marketed IHL speed strip carrier is a copy of the Kramer design --- Ian (the original "I" in IHL) used my Bianchi speed strip for his pattern... See also the nylon versions offered by Tuff products, who make speed strips for calibers other than those offered by Bianchi, including, ahem, if I may say so, 10 round strips for .22 rimfire, made at my suggestion and to the dimensional specs I provided, especially for 10-round 617s, which work well with all other models, so far as I know...

As I was making myself this speed strip carrier, I was racking my brain about how to deal with that little rubber thingy sticking out at the end.....I didn't want to cut the flap for fear I would make a mess out of it.......then I realized it folds right over...no need to cut.....and when I unsnap the flap, it springs up into action! One of life's little victories!

I've got a great idea. Why don't you make some of those nifty carriers , and I'll be your first customer. No really, I mean it. That looks great.

I find the tab to an un-needed appendage. I load 5 and cut the tab off so it doesn't stick out of my watch pocket.

In 1975 I was a K9 handler stationed at Clark AFB in the Philippians, we carried M15's with 12 extra rounds in a dump pouch. We would make are own speed strips using a strip of plastic cut from coffee can lids. By cutting six X's in the strip and pushing in the rounds to the rim they worked pretty good. To get any extra rounds you had to "loose" a strip and file a report. These rounds would get handed off to new guys when the old guys went back to the states. When it was time for me to head state side I had fifty rounds to give the new guys, all in Folgers speed strips.

Here is a speed strip drop pouch I had the local saddle shop make...$8.00 OTD. It holds one of the Tuff Products 8-cartridge speed strips for my 627-PC Blood Work gun.

I've found the Tuff Products speed strip tabs eventually break off after a period of time. The Bianchi ones seem to be a little Tuffer.

Here is one Dillon Precision sells for a pretty penny. I use it in my pocket when carrying a .38 or .357. smooth in, smooth out and keeps a loose speedstrip from getting all tangled up with the rest of the stuff I usually have in my pockets.

Yours looks good, I like it.

You can find something online called a latex glove pouch that is similar to this for about $10. They come in single and two pair versions, the single will hold one speed strip and the double two in seperate compartments. I know they work for 5 shot .38 specials.

It's funny you mentioned that. The tab for the Quick Strip I've been using in my belt pouch recently broke off. Fortunately it turned out to be unnecessary with the reloading technique I use. I have no idea how it broke off, though. I think it might have broken off against the bolster of my car seat.

Its funny how lessons learned go by the wayside.
In 1972 the agency I worked for bought us all brand new Safariland Buckelless Leather gear. In those days you either had a bandlier or dump pouch for your extra .38spl/.357mag.

It was found out right quick that the Banchi Speed Strip would fit in the dump pouch and all you had to do was grab the tab and you had six rounds in your hand for reloading. A lot better than six loose in your hand.

That was 1972.

Ah,good stuff. I had to purchase my Safailand buckleless belt and accessories on my own but loved it. It looked very sharp and in those days people did a double take around here. Myself and one other guy at my department used the buckleless system.
