Bianchi makes the speedstrips for sure, they come two per package - think I paid $6 or $10 for mine. I don't know about other sources though. I picked up a Don Hume drop pouch on the 'bay for about $5 (discontinued), no digging reloads outta the pocket.

Speedstrip pouches can be had from Eric Larsen and Matt Del Fatti among others I sure.

About 70% of the time I carry, it is a .357 revolver, usually loaded with either Speer Gold Dot .38+p 135 grain JHP or anyone of a number of brands of .357 125 grain JHP. I have about eight snubbies to choose from (and about twice that in semi-autos), but my most common revolver carry is either a Taurus 651 titanium, Taurus 650 stainless or Ruger SP-101.

I carry a SW 442 most of the time. Lightweight and fits in almost any pocket. Also, in a jacket pocket I can have my hand on the gun in a most unobtrusive manner.

I prefer to carry my 1911's. I just shoot them more accurately but
I have carried my Ruger SP-101 hammerless in .357mag on several occasions and never felt undergunned. I always carry a speedloader as well.

I have a buddy that his only carry is a Stainless Ruger Single Six backed up by a SP-101.

Another friend carries a Colt Detective Special.

My primary carry pistol is a glock-29 10mm. I do on occaision carry either a ruger speed six .357 or my m-10 S&W .38. I have two Don Hume holsters for both IWB and OWB that fit both revolvers. I Usually have them loaded with .38+p 158 gn SWHP. I carry these with 2 speed loaders that I keep in my coat pocket that is on the same side i carry the revolvers on . I find the extra weight helps to clear the coat on my draw stroke. Although i now carry a auto these two have become the nightstand guns. I have never felt undergunned with them though.

I carry my Taurus Mdl. 605, CH, SS, .357 and use a Mika's pocket holster. I do enjoy shooting it also. w/ combat grips too.

Some time if I am running out the door, and need a pocket gun, Ruger SP101.

It spend most of its time in my wifes car.

I carry a 649 J-Frame daily, sometimes I carry one of my semi autos also. I am considering a switch to a 340pd, since it is lighter.

Stephen A. Camp: Where and when did you get that 642 without the malfunctioning internal locking mechanism?
