The main reason that I personally only carry a wheelie during presumed "low threat outings" and locally...AKA "Bopping The 4 Legged Beast Around The Block" etc. is that it is so much easier (under extreme duress) to reload the pistol over the revolver.
It's my personal opinion the the true weak link with the revolver has always been in accomplishing a lightning fast reload when the heart is pounding and with the high level of adrenaline coursing through the old veins. In such extreme situations "fine motor skills" tend to fly out the window.
For the average defensive shooter and even the "above average" seasoned shooter accomplishing a split second reload tends to favor the semi~automatic pistol.
I'm not coming down on the revolver but, facts tend to support the fact that far less intricate and "involved" movement (in life threatening situations) is required to re~stoke the auto than the revolver.
With the revolver (obviously) the speed loader is quickest with the speed strip running a slower second.
Hopefully, all are at least switching the revolver over to the non~gun hand and accomplishing their speed reload with their most dexterously able strong gun hand.
So do you use the old F.B.I. revolver reload method or the Ayoob method...or the interesting ~ "2" ~ "2" (if possible) or some other variation of your own creation?
I'm just curious to know how some of you have personally gotten "over the hump" of the comparatively slower revolver "high~stress" reload.
And yes, I am aware of the fact that the pro top revolver shooters can effect an extremely fast revolver reload but, most shooters just cannot under extreme S.H.T.F. conditions.
So chime in.
