Tactical Reloads for Revolvers 

No lull in my ‘74 gunfight. I had to reload my empty Colt Detective Special (I was a detective assigned to the Robbery Squad then) w/a speed loader and was back in the fight very quickly. Speed loaders were not authorized equipment in ‘74. We’d been trained to load two at a time from the lops on the duty belt. My EDC in retirement is a 340PD w/a speedstrip in my off pocket. Good video.

Fascinating. I would not have believed it was possible to quickly identify only the fired cartridges.

Not what I was expecting, but was very surprised at the excellent tip.

Wow! Great tip. I wouldn’t have thought of that. By the way I attended the revolver skill builder class at the Sig Sauer academy in New Hampshire. Highly recommended. I think they only run the class once or twice a year. I was actually surprised that Sig Sauer runs a revolver class at all.

Very cool to see this. The recent call of duty mw2 game does this with the model 500 revolver. The reload animations are very detailed and it’s cool to see what they’re based off in real life.

Good video, thank you for the tips. I’m new to revolvers!

VERY INTERESTING & INFORMATIVE video - still have my off-duty weapon from my NJ LEO days - .38 Nickel Colt Detective Special. I have both the speed strips and the speed loaders, although the strips are easier to carry concealed as they are slim and trim.

Nice video and very informative. Beautiful revolver as well

Excellent tip! Thank you Sir!

Thank you for making this. Ive carried the same reload,( 2 loaders, 1strip) for the same reasons for years.

Outstanding video sir. Boy it really shows you how long you might be loading/looking down.

Very good presentation.

Great video. Ty.

Outstanding video Sir. Thank you

Nice piece.

Great video on the topic, thank you! Simple and very useful skills, this was easily the best video on the topic of speed strips I was looking for :)

Great video! Question: I have a modern Colt King Cobra in 3" and I have a couple HKS #10 Speed loaders and a couple speed strips. What Safariland speed loader works with the current Colt KC? and Which of your holders work for it?

In the winter, I usually pocket carry my Taurus 856 loaded with 125 gr .38 +P Hollowpoints I load myself and ITWB carry a Ruger Police Service Six loaded with 156 Gr Semi-Jacketed Soft Nose Hollow Points. I will have a Speed Loader in my jacket breast pocket and a couple speed strips in my jean pockets. When it comes to reloading, i have gotten to the point i don't care about retaining unfired rounds. It is get the empties out, load, and go. If one gun jams, go to the back up snubby

I use SKS clips for speed clip with 38 specials

All good revolver shooters, or us old guys that actually wore one on duty carried a speed strip for this purpose. Putting down deer, or any other reason you shot 1 or 2 rounds.
