- This video I cover how to use a speedload to quickly reload a revolver. This is a lost skill that some people may find interesting so I put it together real quick for you all. I hope you like it.

If I remember correctly, my .357 speedloader didn’t twist but I would push straight down to release. Many years ago but I still love the speed loading technique. Thanks for posting!
Those are Safariland speedloaders
I always thought it was like a syringe lol
Honestly that design makes sense
@@greathoonta3461 same thing I was thinking, seems alot easier than the twist design.
@@FallinFromTheSkyysafariland speedloaders are good
Safariland speedloaders work well
SpeedBeez loaders also work this way
If you practice the speed and smooth flow of a revolver speedload is like art.
Also can be fast as a semi auto
When I carried the Ruger Service 6 38 Special as a MP, I got just as fast on my reloads as fast as the officers carrying the 1911 in 45 ACP. In fact I still carry revolvers in 32 H&R magnum, 9MM, and 38 Special.
Me too...you can be very fast with quality speed loaders and training.
I was trained with practice comes speed, that’s so true 👍🏿
BS
Great video. I just purchased my first revolver yesterday and this answered my questions.
Thank you!
My cousin just started to carry and had no idea these existed. I did use them in the early 70's when I first got on the PD, but first did the dump version. The practice was good as I trained in the dark. (What the heck, I worked in the dark so why not train in the dark!) SO now I am getting her to do the same. Maybe I can convince her to go to a semi one of these days!! I'm sending your video over to her. Thanks for having put it out there. Very helpful.
Now I know how those weird little speedloaders work! Always wondered wtf they were and work. Now I know!
Great video. I have a Rossi .44 special and need a couple of speedloaders - and now I know how they work. Thank you for the video!
A couple of points:
- Be sure to push in the cylinder release all the way before pushing the cylinder open and gently but smoothly guide it to full open. That "clunk" of the cylinder dropping means the cylinder was pushed before the release had reached full travel. Over time it can damage the frame and the yoke.
- The disadvantage that should be mentioned about this technique is that the ejection is done with the thumb only, which provides a weak stroke. This might be okay for .38 but when you start going hotter into +p/.357 chances are you are going to get sticky cases that won't reliably eject and your hand will be pressed against the forcing cone which can quickly get hot.
In my opinion I strongly prefer the stressfire reload by Massad Ayoob, it's the one I used during training (at some initial annoyance from my instructor).
Being unable to operate any gun other than a revolver due to arthritic hands I'm glad to learn how to further protect my self with speed loaders. Thanks.
Lol what?
The BERETTA TOM CAT .32 ACP has tilt up BARREL you drop a round in close the barrel put in the magazine put the safety on and your good you could have someone help load your mags.You don't have rack or pull the slide.
Fun fact: Japanese police actually still uses revolver as duty gun. They use it because
1. They’re more reliable
2. They’re cheaper to maintain and fix
3. Almost no one has gun.
I think the last one is the most relevant reason.
Revolvers are the most reliable gun in my book.
not just in your book. it is truly fact
Super easy guns to clean..unlike semiautomatic pistols.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thats a neat trick w the weak hand an load w the strong hand. I always just popped them in by hand. Thanks for the vid!
thank you for the video. Always have something to learn. My experience with 9 mm9 mm semi automatic jammed two times. I have done withsemi automatic 9 mm. Bought myself: colt Python revolver. It is a magnificent work of art. I believe revolver's are more reliable. I can only speak for myself. I know you only have six or seven rounds. But I believe most cases that's all you need. Practice with a speed in order. Revolvers are easier to clean less moving parts. I believe a revolver is 100% more reliable than a semi automatic. I know most people that have CCW carries semi automatics. But is just not for me after I had semi automatic 9 mm jammed twice!!!! George Simi Valley California
What brand and model 9mm jammed? I’d like to know please.
Well done sir. Just I was taught in the academy 30 yrs ago.
I still carry revolvers. High caliber, reliable, and you take your brass with you. Sure its limited, but if you can't hit it with six, you probably can't hit t with 15 or 30. We were taught to make your six count!
I like that revolvers usually use big boy rounds so one of those 6 gonna lay em out if necessary
Hi. Couple points, might not need sayin', but here goes ...
1.Make sure the model/manu speedloader matches your revolver, THEY ARE NOT ONE SIZE FITS ALL.
2. Make sure that your "cylinder side hand grip panel" is fashioned to allow a speedloader with enough clearance, or, you will HAVE to use speedstrips!!
3. ANY speedloader ccan "murphy" and let loose your rounds. Get to know your speedloaderr, away from the range. You might not carry your piece, haul around a speedloader WITH DUMMY ROUNDS, to get yourself acquainted with the heft, feel, sound, and how they 'print', if you carry it/them in your pocket.
4. Best dummy rounds are those purple snapcap versions. Extruded aluminum with a rubber primer for your firing pin to hit.
5. When practicing reloads, DROP THE SPEEDLOADER QUICKLY!! You are practicing responding to a threat..."hey time out! I dropped my $75 speedloaader!!" "oh yeah? BANG!" Get it once you are done, or once its all over, and not one second BEFORE!!! Same if you have TWO of them.
This can be a "messy" business, so allow yourself "a little mess", and not so tidy with your loaders. They were designed to be knocked around, and not so delicate, ok?
6. Remember the 4 gun laws,, know which end of your revolver points DOWNRANGE, you have 6 or so rounds, not 13, put them where they count most, your ammunition copies what is printed on the barrel, and above all, have fun!!
A good revolver is a formidable weapon. Unlike an autoloader, you have the option of loading different types of ammo in the same cylinder, such as alternating round nose, hollow points, or a snake-shot rounds. The gun will tolerate this as it is not recoil dependent for functioning the way an auto is. What is your situation? Coyotes or bear at the farm? Water snakes while fishing? Sheet rock or plaster lath in a home defense situation? Revolvers are versatile, accurate, and great plinkers. Enjoy! --Old Guy
Ah yes, the seven shot revolver!
Revolvers never let you down. Even my Glocks will choke here and there. I never know when, do you?
That's a nice 7 shot, wow
1:35. Up in the mountains we use a lot of big revolvers for predator defense. One of those cases where they will be a "valuable tool."
3:44 He actually shows how to use it here.
Giving away the goods! 🤣🤣
@@geoff_tac shut the fuck up weirdo. this video shouldve been 1 minute long. learn to shut the fuck up next time
Revolvers are so classy. All business no tactical bull crap. Capacity is a cop out
Stupidest statement I’ve read in quite a while. Good job 👏
i always been curious about a speed loader since bo1 magnum
I most definitely have revolvers in ny edc rotation. Autos as well, but revolvers are still relevant
arent most real life gun fights 5 to 10 feet apart. and over after a few rounds fired? i still know the need to reload at least once after the first 6 shots are gone. because wolfs run in packs.
That's correct, statistically. If you own a revolver you should understand the techniques of speed loading. Thanks for the comment.
@@geoff_tac i agree 100%
It all depends civilian vs police. But I'm pretty sure they make armor piercing 357 rounds and that would definitely get some penitration on car doors ect
A conceal carry a smith and Wesson .38 air lite ti. It’s a 5 shot snub nose revolver and I keep a speed load in my pocket.
Absolutely love revolvers!!! In my opinion revolvers are more accurate than semiautomatics!!!!
Theyre not more accurate because it has to pass through where 2 pieces of metal meet and that throws off the aerodynamics, but theyre way easier and more reliable
@@idonthaveaname42 most automatics have tilting barrels though that reduces the mechanical accuracy
In my experience they are also; no barrel flex with an all-steel revolver as opposed to a polymer semi-auto... And their grips are better.
I certainly don't mind you loading up at home - the number of American gun instructors who have shot themselves suggests this is fairly common.
So I'm up watching The Mist and I see the weird little Capote actor with this. I kinda guessed it was a rapid loader (I know naught about guns!). Guessed right.
Prison guards in PA still use revolvers as duty pistols.
That sux actually.
thanks
4:42? could've cut that down to one minute
He also could've not made the video.
Find another video then prick
It was constructive criticism,, I'm not a prick.
optional home defense and the 44Mag for bear defense in Alaska/Canada.
What gun are you using here?
Great video.
I have the same revolver and speedloader
I like the speedloader its so cool
I carried one last year when I worked as an armored car custodian lol
I used to do that but sometimes the cylinder is too hot after firing.
Carry both, revolver and semi
Why not carry a revolver or atleast as a backup gun? Especially if it's a big one like 357mag or 44mag? Pretty sure 357 is responsible for the most one shot stops
He said duty!! lol
U Forgot To Dump
Ur Spent Brass, lol...
3:42 to skip to the demonstration
Thanks for the comment...likes and subs are always appreciated.
what about taking the empty cylinder out to put a new one in
Skip to 3:30
Ruger 357 gp100 4 in
So for people who use reloaders, do you have 2 or 3 all set up, similar to how youd carry extra magazines? Or do you rely on just 1 speedy reload? Seems impractical imo
From my experience, people would carry a speed loader, and a stripper clip. For duty, I carried 2 speed loaders and 12 loose rounds.
Amazing holster, where can I buy? 👍
Nice work for making a 10 seconds video to 5 minutes
I try, its not always easy
@@geoff_tac 😆
You must know this info! Or ya can die! Lol
What model is this holster for? Trying to find one that would fit my Taurus tracker 627. They didn’t have that option on their website
Nice video…revolvers are definitely still used by civilians today. Reloading isn’t that difficult just needs practice.
My speedloader gets stuck and it's sometimes hard to turn. It also scrapes against the cylinder release. Any tips?
you wont need no more that seven bullets if you are in trouble , revolvers rarely jam . i will go all day no regrets with a revolver.
well there is also missing and multiple targets. unless you plan and getting 2 kills with 1 rounds you will want to carry extra ammo, cuz once you run out and they don't you are dead
In that too-long vid with too much talking, you neglected to demonstrate ejecting the casings from the cylinder--a pretty important step
How much the reloader sir..
Took too long to get to the point I think
You can fast forward
What Holster on Bianchi is that?
Man, I would have to dig it out, I remember I got it when I was doing federal security in the 90's so its an old one.
“ Its an old Biachi AccuMold I used as a duty holster in the 90's. Its just sat in a drawer forever.”
On my experience of inspecting gun it’s a revolver
What holster do you use/feature in the video?
Its an old Biachi AccuMold I used as a duty holster in the 90's. Its just sat in a drawer forever.
This is a great video but you shouldn't be using live ammunition for demonstrations like this
sir please DO NOT USE Live ammunition in a Tutorial video 😉
what’s the name of the cases?
Uncle Mike's makes good quality nylon speed loader pouches in black with either snap or Velcro about 20.00 dollars...If you like leather the best value and quality is Triple K in black plain and basket weave and dark dark brown walnut. I wish they made them in TAN.....MIDWAY USA 40.00 dollars for plain.. Aker LEATHER makes plain and basket weave about same price.. Both top of the line.. All the custom makers are 90.00 to 100.00 dollars..One Custom shop in OREGON is CAMP CURRY LEATHER he makes custom ones for 55.00 or 60.00..black or tan or dark tan..also nice holsters for a good price..
Dude, were those live rounds you used for this demonstration?
You can wash holsters... just saying.
Just like load it lol
why does that revolver have seven shots??? not a joke.
Way it's made, there are several revolvers manufactured with 5,6,78 even 10.
I still carry a revolver
👍
In the time that it takes you to reload your speed loader you could have just reloaded the gun instead 😂
Lol, the purpose is to have a couple of the speed loaders on your belt in case you need to rapid reload.
@@geoff_tac Exactly, you wouldn't carry extra mags mfor your autoloader empty of ammunition and when you run out in a gunfight try loading an empty mag to reload your gun the idea is to have one or more already loaded and available
Granulated grip tape and snub nose
disliked for supporting amazon
What revolver is this?
Taurus 627
@@geoff_tac Beautiful revolver.
@@johnwxh30 That is a beautiful revolver. When I was a cop back in the 70s I carried n S/W Model 67. LOVED that gun. But this looks comparable.
Silly. Revolverb can kill a bad guy in 1 round. People who cant shoot want 15 rounds
Whole lot of talking before you actually use it lol
That's what I do!
he's just explaining it man
I don't understand why were you using the term throwback so much I mean young man I'm laughing out loud right now it it also makes me think that we follow the world and what we purchase or what we like and what we don't like what's good and what's not good what's bad and was not bad according to what the world think popularity I got an uncle he could reload his revolver so fast without that reloader make your head swing you wouldn't understand it young man so when you use the term throwback it's old it has a lot of dust on it it's not used anymore because we so modernized and and I have with my friends have now and I have the money to buy high tech and high quality or never mind quality because of that throwback that you referring to can be quality it's just that the speed loader is more Tech High Tech or the type of holster use is high tech not as well as a throwback it's common it's the average it's standard so it's a throwback not necessarily so I'm new but all I heard was throwback throwback throwback all I heard was we don't use that no more it's very used now and just my goodness young man all right just a thought young man just to talk all right have a good day thank you for you help appreciate you have a good day God bless
I suggest skipping the chatty intro and getting right to the instruction. I mean, for those searching to learn how to use the speedloaders.
I like being chatty
@@geoff_tacI enjoyed the chattiness. We must be getting old! 😂
Who the hell uses a 7 shot revolver
Wait till u find out about a 8 shot revolver
Smart people with skill instead of lead slingers hope I can hit a barn shooters I assume like you
What a waste of time. This should have been one minute.
wa wa wa
90% video Bla Bla Bla...
