Shooting competition is one thing.

What do you do in combat when there’s more than three (if you have to double tap) or more than six (if you’re a pistol god who sleeps with Lady Luck to be able to put a man down with one shot every time)?

Big, big secret to speed loading the revolver.

Don’t catch the casings.

Hardest thing to teach yourself. Throw the boom, push the plunger, let em drop.

You have no idea how many people reflexively catch those stupid things.

If you train properly, you can be ejecting your shells while lining up your new clip.

Complicated, sure.

But then I never have to deal with a stove pipe or a no-load either.

As to the combat situation.

I was taught that your side arm was not an offensive weapon that you took on an army with.

But then again, I wasn’t in the situation that the boys are in in Iraq and Afgan. Different kind of war I guess.

If I was even 10 years younger, I know where I’d be today, and it ain’t here.

Carry two revolovers and speed loaders.
