Carrying Back Up Revolver Ammo

[DeadWhiteGoose]

Hey guys I made a short video on different ways to carry back up revolver ammo. I currently use Bianchi speed strips however, I am sure you guys might have some other good ideas as well. Let me know!

Speed strips.

Yeah, the dishonestly named “speed” strips.

Ever time them? Better than nothing, but not by much.

Edit, that sounds snarky. It isnt. I mean i USE them, but they arent speedy.

Yep, "Speed strips" is misleading for sure.
Funny, I recently compared reloading with each, speed loaders are way faster.

Speed Loader = Faster but more PITA to carry

Speed Strip = Much easier to carry but much slower

Some are probably tired of seeing this, but...
I carry 3 speed loaders in a cellphone case.
Works for a double-stack mag too

Honestly this is a great idea. I have always had an issue with the grips getting in the way of speed loaders on the J-Frame sized revolvers. Have you had the same issue or is it just the difference of grips?

It's a Ruger SP101 357. I've had no issues with the Hogue Monogrip or the Diamond Pro grip.

I just don't miss. Problem solved.

J/K. I carry Speed Strips of 44 and 38 flavors in my front right pocket. I'm sort of a minimalist with my CCW. No holster, one reload kinda guy.

Haha well I did just have a great day of practice and I have to agree. PS, your name reminded me to watch more Dirty Harry.

I have a sweet Taren Tactical nylon pouch that holds 2 8 shot TT speed loaders for my SW Performance CTR SS snubby....

My feeling as well.
Honestly? New York Reload, or the revolver is the last resort reliable backup for the semiauto.


I've considered putting a J frame on my permit a couple of times, but I'm just not good enough with them. Sure, I would qualify, but I'm not confident that under duress I'd be accurate enough.

My feelings exactly. I know exactly zero people, myself certainly included, that are what I would consider "good" with a snub nose 38 fired DA only. Way better than nothing of course, but not nearly as good as a semi.

A 1.87" model 60 with five shots vs. a Glock 19 with 16 shots? Easy choice for me.

Well the J Frame I carry is at least a 3" barrel with full grips so it actually is pretty accurate from the draw. I use the Buffalo Bore 125gr .357MAG Low Recoil Low Flash rounds and it handles well. I only carry that over my Sig P320 when I can't properly conceal my double stack due to work clothes and what not.
