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.

I was always taught that when dumping, you should barely tap the end of the extractor rod with the end of your thumb, to ensure that the extractor seats properly back inside the cylinder. And that slight tap is usually all it takes. I was also taught that when using the speedloader that requires you to turn the knob, insert the rounds, turn the knob and then close the cylinder. Let the speed loader fall where it may. In other words, insert, turn and let go. Just my thoughts. Thank you Ruger.
