Just in case anyone was wondering...
« on: October 12, 2007, 11:14:02 AM »
...the life expectancy of a Bianchi Speed Strip carried in a front pants pocket almost daily fully loaded is apparently 8 years.  At least that's what happened to not one, but two SpeedStrips I've been using for my Smith 649.  One broke yesterday, the second today.  And, I know whan I bought these two, as it was when my wife was pregnant with out first son, two days after my birthday.

Anyone know if these are still being made, or am I out of luck?  Great way to carry ammo for my Bodyguard, carried in my pocket as well.

Now this is good information!

I found speed strips at my local gunstore eitherl last summer or the summer before.

I'm assuming, then, that they're still made.

If they're not, that would be a great pity.

I just bought a pair of them about 6 months ago, I'm sure they're still made.

Well at least their QC is consistent.  Sorta like the "One Hoss Shay" Wink

X-MA's right. Dillon has 'em. Does Bianchi still sell direct?
