\"wheel-gun-wednesday-banner\"<\/a>It’s Wheel Gun Wednesday<\/a>! We’re continuing our study of revolvers with a look at how to handle reloads. Our last post<\/a>\u00a0was all about the various speed loaders available on the market, and today we’re taking a closer look at a few different reloading techniques.<\/p>

Since the beginning of this blog series, I’ve been trying to dig deeper into all of the issues that come up when we debate the merits of using a revolver versus a semi-auto for self-defense. One of the central points of this discussion always comes down to ammo capacity. Not only do semi-autos have more rounds on board, they’re also much quicker to reload.<\/p>

Revolver speed loaders make the task a little easier than tediously inserting the cartridges one at a time. But even\u00a0with a speed loader, technique is key. A trained monkey could eventually figure out how to swap magazines on an autoloader, but performing the same task with a revolver can be tricky.<\/p>

Explaining how to reload a revolver is a task better\u00a0suited for\u00a0the magic of moving pictures rather than the written word. So enjoy the following educational film in which\u00a0I cover four of the more common revolver reloading techniques.<\/p>
