I’ve seen a guy that reloaded his revolver much faster than most people can do a regular magazine, and was damn accurate to the point that he competed against people using semi autos and still finished in first place regularly. But, having to carry around a bunch a speed load clips on your belt is not very practical.

I will say that it is a little annoying at a USPSA match. The entire front of my belt is occupied by moonclip holders. I have to carry 7 or 8 spare moonclips plus the one I’ll have in the gun and there have been some times where I’ve almost run out of ammo. Hence, why wheelgun shooting makes you more patient – you’re not going to burn 4 or 5 shots to hit a swinger, you’ll wait and get your two when it’s out.

I’ve always thought “If you can’t do with six, what makes you think you can do it in 7?”
I do, however, carry autos for reasons of ‘slimness’ exclusively. I am less concerned with payload, and more concerned with cargo weight.

I’m reminded of the jewelry store owner in LA ( I think) that Ayoob did a wonderful story on. His theory was to not even bother to reload, just keep a lot of guns laying around behind the counter. When one is empty, pick up another and keep going. He started with revolvers but after the first couple of robberies he switched to higher capacity semis.

Just use a New York reload. That is, a second revolver!!! Worked well for the NYPD!
