I actually think a right-handed revolver works very well for a lefty-being one myself.

I simply bump the latch with my trigger finger, punch the cylinder out with my right thumb, grasping the frame with my fingers underneath the trigger guard/bottom metal , muzzle upward, slap the ejector rod with the knife edge of my left hand, continue down to my speed loader carrier (same side as my holster) bring it up while flipping the muzzle down, insert, twist, close, re-grasp and re-engage.... I feel very comfortable with this method.

God Bless & MOLON LABE.

Do you ever practice reloading with one hand as though the other hand has been disabled or is required to keep you from falling. With a revolver, stuff the barrel in your belt once the cylinder is open, reload and close the cylinder as you withdraw it from your belt.

I have never practiced with a pistol and would have the slightest idea where to start.
