[Last Edit: ThePontificator]
My two Bianchi Speed Strips disintegrated after years of storage and I need to buy some new ones.
I noticed that there's a competitor product, "Tuff Products" who make a nearly identical product called "Quick Strips" and they come packaged in four each vs. Bianchi's 2-pack. The Quick Strips also come in orange as well as black. Any recommendations on Tuff Products? https://www.amazon.com/speed-strips/s?k=speed+strips |

They are good to go and I actually prefer them to Bianchi.

I have used Tuff Quick Strips for a few years now, no complaints.
I prefer Zeta6 Pak products for my J frame and Ruger Speed Six, though. Zeta6 K-PAK 2 |

I have some of each. Both brands have only lasted a few years before they fall apart. They probably are all made in the same factory.

In '22 I bought some Tuff Quick Strips to replace some Bianchis, as the Bianchi ones were only lasting a year and a half or so of daily use. The time I've had Tuff ones isn't long enough to definitely say they are more durable, but they cerrainly display less change in shape. The Bianchi ones always seemed to pretty quickly develop an inward or outward bend, the Tuff ones are still straight. |

A Holster has come out with some 3d printed strips as well, the tab is thicker and they are a little stiffer, but pretty nice. I'm not sure if they will break down or not. Both Tuff and Bianchi break down over 5 to 10 years and have to be replaced.

While I haven't placed an order for any replacement strips I did find a sealed unopened package of them in my box of misc. gunn schidt.
They've been in that box at least as long as the pair that crumbled. They're fine. Nice and bend-y so yeah, it's exposure to air and they just get dried out and brittle. |

I have used Tuff Products in 22 and 38 versions - none made it 3 years without cracking/crumbling....Bianchis are 15 years old and still going strong

I've heard the tuff strips are more pliable and rounds fall out because of this.
Desantis second 6 is the real winner in my book if you want to carry a 6 shot. You do carry a six shot, don't you? That and speed loaders are so much faster and more bester than strips. Still waiting for the price of the Kimber k6xs to come down a little bit more. Wheel guns are all classy and stuff. There's also neomag stuff if you are going to use a strip. Better than fishing around in your pocket when you need it. |
