With proper training and practice you can reload your revolver just as fast as your pistol. A critical skill for wheel gun shooters whose chosen firearms holds less rounds.
Despite common belief that a firearm should not be switched between hands during reloading, Spaulding suggests taking advantage of your primary hand's dexterity during such a dire situation. He describes his methods, different types of loaders and how to incorporate them together for your smoothest and fastest reloading scenario. This video series is a collection of self-defense tips with career law enforcement officer Dave Spaulding designed to help individuals learn proper skills and techniques to defend themselves. Spaulding has worked in all facets of law enforcement and was a founding member of his agencys SWAT Team. He was also the commander of a multi-agency narcotics task force that included local, state and federal investigators. Most recently, he received the 2010 Trainer of the Year Award by Law Officer Magazine.

  • I agree with switching hands. In fact, I make it a point to always load my revolver the same way if I am using a speedloader or not. I find the "weak" hand is able to control the cylinder to manipulate it in concert with my strong hand doing the more delicate motions of operating the speedloader or putting loose rounds in place.

  • Nice video, thanks for uploading. 

  • i dont have a speed reloader :(

  • Thanks for the tip of switching hand when reloading. I just started action shooting with a GP100 and I'm always struggling with my left hand, so now I'm using my right hand and I working much quicker. Nice cap btw
