ICORE Match

Experienced pistol shooters using moon clips can make a reload pretty darned quick.

yeah but thats in competition, and thats without return fire

 

Yep. The fastest way to reload a revo is to throw it down and grab another gun. I generally don't carry two, so that explains why I carry a higher capacity auto.

 

Why ? Cause this younger generation is incapable of hitting the target with anything less than 15-17 rounds? Or is it that all the slack wrist youngsters can't hold up all that cold steel long enough to aquire a sight pic?

 

I would have to say if you are in a situation where you actually need 17 rounds you are prolly somewhere you should not have been in the first place. If you have more that 2 assailants shooting at you, I would venture to say that you are screwed. Keeping track of 2 people would be fubar , 3 or more under live fire in a self defense scenario, your dead before you fire six bullets.

 

Agreed, for anyone who is practiced and proficient with a revolver, you are at a minimal disadvantage when reloading as long as you are using a speed loading device...especially moon clips. It is all muscle memory, just like with an auto loader. The main disadvantage is capacity as you and others have noted.

 

But.....all the gun fights I seen in the movies.......you shoot all 13 boolits out of your six-shooter, then there is kinda a break in the gunfight to reload. Like hide behind the water trough and reload. Never seen anyone get killed while they were hunkered down reloading.
