extra ammo CCW

[dashootist]

How do you carry extra ammo for your CCW revolver?

 

[GP100man]

Bianchi speed strips mostly if I can a HKS speed loader .

Or another revolver !!

 

[mdauben]

HKS speed loader is my first choice.

 

[357_]

Bianchi speed strips. Fits in my change pocket (never put anything else in there). I usually cary 2 strips, 1 with 158g JHP and another with 158g Flat Nose just in case the terminator is after me.

 

[wlewisiii]

2 HKS speed loaders.

 

[L-Frame]

1 Safariland Comp II for my 3" GP-100.

 

[GRIZ22]

2X2 pouch and usually HKS speedloader. 2X2 for partial reloads, speedloader for full reload.

 

[Usertag]

A HKS Speedloader or a Moon Clip depending on which type of revolver you carry.

 

[Rexster]

It depends upon which revolver. For all except the SP101: HKS speed loaders, plus, perhaps, a speed strip and/or 2x2x2 belt carrier.

The SP101 factory grip tends to cause speed loaders to bind, so I skip that option. The grip mitigates magnum recoil so well that I will not grind off any of the material. If an SP101 is the biggest gun I am carrying, I will generally carry at least another SP101, which lessens the urgency of speed-loading.

If I am only going to carry one SP101, for whatever reason, I will carry a speedloader, but with shorter .38 Special ammo, which allows clearance for the speedloader.

 

[357 Terms]

Speed strip.

 

[Lucky Derby]

Depending on how I am dressed, I either carry a speed strip in a Most Versatile Pouch from Simply Rugged or a HKS speedloader in a Split Six pouch from Safariland.

 

[sidheshooter]

2 HKS speed loaders.

2 HKS as well.

 

[Pyro]

Tuff speed strips in a Tuff belt holder

 

[Lawdawg45]

Without question. No matter what I'm carrying, I'll have a minimum of 2 reloads on my person. Extra magazines are especially critical when carrying a semi-auto, in case of a jam or malfunction. I carry 2 speed loaders with any revolver, and even with my SA's I carry a dump pouch or speed strips. I also have another cache of ammo in the center console of my vehicle for a couple of calibers.

 

[GP100man]

OHhh , we`re including vehicles ????

My truck has a 50rnd flip box under each rear seat , the wifes truck has a 100rnd flip box in the rear storage compartment .

this is all 357 mag ! , now think of makeing it 38spec. since it loads easier under stress .

 

[The Bushmaster]

12 rounds in a belt loop that slides on my belt. Been loading a revolver one or two rounds at a time for most of my life. Hate to have to change and learn a new way this late in time.

 

[oldbear]

All my reload ammo is stored in speed strips, though I seldom carry one on my person.

 

[sixgunner455]

Speed strips, tuff strips, speed loaders, and a box of ammo in the truck. Which is on my person depends on how I'm dressed and where I'm going.

 

[Stormin.40]

Just one speed strip normally, I carry it in my right front pocket. I am right handed and switch hands with my revolver during reloading.

 

[Axel Larson]

Speed strips.

Never heard that before. I have heard that bullet shape matters, and it does, but not a difference between .38 and .357.

That said I carry a couple of of .357s loaded with .357 and a .38. (Not necessarily all at the same time) All my spare ammo is .38 so I don't have worry about grabbing the wrong speedloader on my way out of the house, and if I am carrying the .38 as a BUG, the ammo will work in either gun.

 

[ColtPythonElite]

Call me crazy...I don't carry any spare ammo for my CCW...Yeah, I've got both speedloaders and speed strips, but carry neither. I keep them loaded in my safe door pouch just in case I need to grab on quick at the house, which is unlikely...I keep two loaded wheel guns in my safe for easy grabbing if I need them.

 

[Walking Dead]

I don't carry spare ammo on me either. If I can't get it done with seven shots then it probably ain't gonna get done.

The Bushmaster,
I sure would like to see a picture of the belt loop. I just don't like speed strips, and speedloaders are too bulky.

 

[ColtPythonElite]

I'm with you Walking Dead...I go out with the mindset that if the time comes, I had better make the first one or two rounds count.
