It looks like Natt Stevens of Tuff Products did it again. Not only do they offer their sorta plastic/rubbery Quick Strips for .44/.45, .38/.357 and .500/.460 revolvers (we’ve mentioned the before), they’ve raised the bar now with more goodies. In the little box from Natt recently, I found Quick Strips for .327 Federal, .22 Rimfire (any load) and a 5-shot one for .38/.357 (look for them as standard issue for some models of S&W J-frames from the factory!). There was also a nifty nylon pouch that slips onto your belt holding two Quick Strips, if you’re so-inclined. I put them through a quickie test and found them to all work just fine. The nylon pouch is so light and convenient I carry my reload in it now on my belt under my shirt.

I now carry a .22 strip loaded with Magnums, along with my tiny NAA .22 Magnum revolvelator, which is my “always in my pocket” gun around the ranch here. First two shots are .22 Magnum CCI shot loads and the others are standard .22 Magnums. There’s usually something more significant nearby, but this takes care of those “little surprises” that pop up when you least expect them.

I didn’t have any .327 Federal handy so some .32 Long Colt worked fine, along with .32 S&W, .32 Magnum and even the lowly .32 S&W in the .327 strip. As an aside, I regularly shoot that .32 S&W in an old Charter Arms .32 H&R Magnum I have. Great fun, and now I have a way to tote some extras along easily. By the way, did you know you can shoot .32 ACP in that gun? There’s a tiny rim on it and they shoot great in the Charter. Any .32 ACP HP is deadly on those pesky squirrels around here and makes the “hunt” much more interesting than 100 yards with a .22 Magnum rifle.

That 5-shot .38/.357 strip is for all of you fussy types you just hate to think your loading strip has six rounds while your gun only has five. Rest easy, Natt has solved the problem and now your pocket strip and your J-frame match-up nicely. You can sleep soundly tonight knowing everything is properly aligned. About $8.50 for the strips for a two-pack and about $20 for the pouch. A steal if you ask me. www.tuffproducts.com, (877) 883-3776
