I'm left-handed and I open the cylinder release with my right thumb then transfer wheel gun to my right hand. Push out cylinder with right thumb and hold gun in right hand while reloading with left. As I'm closing cylinder with right hand on cylinder my left hand is reaquiring the grip. For me it is very fast.

I am right handed, I open the cylinder latch with my right thumb, flip the cylinder open with wrist action, depress plunger to dump empties with middle finger on right hand while turning gun so gravity helps, align speed loader with left hand and push...
close cylinder with heel of left hand and continue the fight....

Dragnet??? I think I saw a special about that show on the history channel.

Seriously though. I was taught, and practice to push the button to open the cylinder with my strong hand thumb, opent the cylinder with the index, middle, and ring fingers on my left hand and depress the ejector rod with my left thumb while pulling out my speed loader with my right hand, then to use my right hand to insert the rounds into the cylinder, turn the knob and drop the speed loader while placing my right hand back on the grip of the revolver and using my left palm to close the cylinder.

Great piece of history on the hoster and carry from Matt.
