I use Bianchi but they're about as much fun to load with ammo as moon clips.
I assume both are made in China?Bianci is better than tuff. tuff will break down faster due to heat.
I just remembered reading about folks using 1911 magazines to store carry .38 special ammo and using the magazine like a speed strip. I have never tried this, though I keep meaning to.
This might be worth a try.

no idea. go find out and tell the rest of us.I assume both are made in China?
It seems like it wouldn’t work with anything but wadcutters in .38spl due to overall length. It might be an ok way to carry those if that’s what you must have for a reload. I’ll have to try it and see.
Thank you. I was not aware of this.
Just wanted to update since I tried it. I actually was able to get a full 7 rounds of .38 Special (148gr hollow based wadcutters) into and back out of a standard 7 round GI 1911 magazine nice and smooth. Anything loaded to stick out past the case mouth is a no-go.
Wadcutters are the worst possible shape to attempt to reload under pressure or stress but it seems like a 1911 magazine is in fact a decent way to lug some of them around with you.

( I took the pic with just six in there. I didn’t try it but 8 might even be able to squeeze in)
