Snub Reload Right Hand Shooter - Michael de Bethencourt - SnubTraining.com

im sorry no disrespect intended but im not "discarding" a 50$ speedloader that suckers goin back in my pocket lol

[MrBobman878]

When I grow up and use this as a gun, it's going to take a long while to practice it.

[timcrane88]

Perfect video. Many folks complain about speedloaders being finicky, but mostly it's because they haven't researched proper technique, that they have problems with speedloaders and their revolvers.

[RobertKaydoo]

Thank you for this video. I am going to try this with my SP101.

[Snubtraining]

Dear Leeradio 13 - Thank you for the kind words and for the question. The gun is a chromed Colt Detective Special with a shrouded ejector rod. The stocks are Spegel Boot Grips. The only internal work done to the gun is some light chamfering to the charge holes for improved reloading speed and (as with all my guns) the action has been converted to Double Action Only (DAO.) The hammer spur has been retained only for its class/range demo value. I hope that helps - Yours, Michael de Bethencourt

[leeradio13]

good training! please tell me the name and model of that revolver... it looks like a 360?

Hard to beat a NewYork reload (second gun)

[Snubtraining]

Dear Mr. Mott44: I couldn't agree more! In fact I carry a pair of snubs as my daily complement. But I still practice reloading each gun right- left- and single handed. Remember that after having shot the New York reload dry you may find the situation requires additional shooting. That certainly was the case at the FBI/Miami shootout. Also - the 2nd gun may have been lost, damage or passed to another shooter - and now you're back to needing to know how to reload. Yours, Michael de Bethencourt

[Aussie038]

Not bad. I believe it's a little bit too complex for someone that does not practice a lot. But then again who cares for those that don't train.

[BobMacs]

Guys stayed tuned, there should be some"new" videos soon....

[SergeantC2]

Good video. It's making me reexamine how I reload my revolvers. One thing I noticed, you pushed the speedloader down with your right thumb. How would you do it differently with an HKS speedloader?

[Snubtraining]

Dear Sergeant C2 - Thank you for the very kind note. The trick with the HKS is to keep the index finger through the window of the frame and in contact with the cylinder. Keeping the fingertip in contact with the cylinder will prevent it from turning as you twist the HKS now. Note that when using any speed loader you should keep the fingertip in contact with the cylinder. This will also prevent the cylinder from moving back into the frame and interfacing with the reload. Yours, Michael

[raimundough]

Have you seen Jerry Miculek style? His looks smooth and fast. Can we see your technique at full speed with live ammo for comparison?

[mgschutze]

I think this way of reloading makes the most sense. Less chance of burning your finger and you dont have to massively readjust or swap your grip. Great vid!

[Jnarte1]

@ funklabADV: Properly trained gunfighters place their support hand on their belt buckle or on the centerline of their body during the draw to ensure that they don't index their support hand with their handgun. This location also allows the support hand to meet with the firing hand in the shortest amount of distance.

[jlescelius]

Where can I pick up some dade loaders for my 357? I havent been able to find them, I appreciate any input . Thanks

[Snubtraining]

Dear jlescelius - I hope this note finds you well. You can contact DADE via their e-mail at: piehauker44@aol.com - Thank you again for your question and for your interest in the video clip. Yours, Michael de Bethencourt

[Jody434]

I have been using a similar technique or a while now. The Safariland speedloaders seem to work the best for this. This is good stuff. A lot of people carry a snub for protection but not many practice it's unique manual of arms or even carry spare ammo for that matter. I will definitely try your much more refined method in the future. Thanks for the lesson.

[Pwnegekill]

bald guy teaches me a lot! :0

[littlejpl]

Oh and to add to my difficulty, I am Left handed so this way of reloading doesn't work at all for me. I do shoot right handed quite well however so I still want to pratice with my Colt Dectictive and my S&W 342 using your method. I like how your shooting hand never leaves the handle of the weapon and the positive plam hit extraction in case of swelled spent case's

[littlejpl]

Very interesting reloading technique. I like it! But after trying it I have found that MY! hand is to small. On the big frame revolvers I have to rotate my strong hand completely out of position to hold the open cylinder with one finger. I just went back to pushing the cylinder open with two fingers with my weak hand, extracting the spent rounds with index finger, reloading cylinder with shooting hand swinging cylinder closed with palm of weak hand, sliding shooting hand back into position.

[funklabADV]

Why do people put their weak hand over their chest (or belt buckle in this video), when drawing their weapon? I have seen this in many videos, and I do not understand the theory behind it.

[vinegaroon1]

@funklabADV Putting your free hand across your chest when firing steadies the body and the shooting arm and keeps you balanced.

[BobMacs]

@vinegaroon1: exactly what Jnarte1 said! Most of today's top defensive trainers and or trained shooters; use what is called a 4 point draw stroke. Indexing the support hand on your sternum not only ensures your hand is clear of the muzzle but actually puts your hand in position for the "3rd" point of the 4 point draw stroke.

[ctfam]

This 1.22 just helped me so much. Thank you for posting one of the few good vids on YT.

[elitearbor]

I still remember this training on that day in Hartford, years later. Thanks again. :)

[rightarmofwyoming]

Thank you!

good stuff. I'm carrying a Taurus 605, and love it. Used to carry a S&W semi-auto, but am more comfortable with the snubbie, and it has more power. I carry two HK speedloaders with it.

[Jur0]

why making so much fuss about reloading a revolver :/

[Snubtraining]

Dear JurO - Thank you for your question. For a casual shooter it may not make a difference. For a self-defense shooter, knowledge of the various FBI, LFI, Ohio, or Taylor (snub) reloading styles can affect many things - One-hand only/injured hand reloading options to name just one. For example single-hand reloading skills were of some importance to the FBI on 4/11/1986 in Miami. There are other reasons but you see the point. Again, thank you for your question. Yours, Michael deBethencourt

[seargentslate]

I took Mike's class. Some good info/tips learned

[Ifwaccess]

Excellent camera work in using close-ups of hand manipulation and indexing fingers on the weapon.

[leodaher]

Nice tutorial, Michael, thanks for sharing. I'm hoping you'll show your reloading technique for left-handed shooters next.

[Snubtraining]

Yes, leo Left Handed is next, so stay tuned... Thanks all for the feedback and continued support

[leodaher]

Cool, Michael, thanks.

[MDTS1]

Michael, excellent video. Thanks for sharing your considerable knowledge.

[DartCyggy]

Great quality video. Passing the arm in front of your eyes perhaps isn't such a good idea...
