revolver tactical reload
« on: March 01, 2010, 11:42:40 PM »
I carry a snub nosed .357 in a pocket holster.  I think the HKS speedloaders are hard/awkward to carry and I think the speedstrips take too long to load one cartridge at a time.  My question is, "Is there a magazine type reloader available for revolvers?" Think speed strip meets magazine.  It would be like a semi auto magazine only straight up and down with nothing on the bottom, like putting .357 in a 9mm magazine and feeding the round out of the top with the mag spring pushing the next round up to be loaded. This would allow a greater amount of rounds available for reloading 10 (single stack) - 20 (double stack) rounds, make it easier to carry, less awkward than the speedloader, and less cumbersome than the speedstrip.  Are there any other options available as well?

I suggest you start drawing out a plan.
Check for small sheet metal fabricators in your area who may be willing to help you build a prototype.
How would you compensate for the different spacing on different Cylinders ?

general pracice for reloading revos is load two, shoot two.    Now if you are behind cover and have time, of corse reload fully.
I always break all the clay pigeons,  some times its even with lead.

This is why the New York reload came into being

Don't miss when you shoot.
If not, how about moon clips?

You might try to find a mag for a Coonan .357 SA and see if that works.  Other than the AutoMag that is the only .357 SA I know of.

FWIW

Lets see, a small, reliable, CCW type weapon that fits in a pocket and reloads with something like a magazine. Hmmm.........Did someone say Glock 26, 27 or 34? ;D
