No.343 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I setup my timer for a random delay with a 2.5 second par time, and point my gun with a normal grip while waiting for the beep. At the beep I empty the gun, reload it with dummies, bring it up and pull the trigger. I can consistently do that and pull the trigger two, sometimes three times before the beep. However, I cannot get under the two second mark. I think that the timer emits a neuron blocking force field once I set it for two seconds. I know that Wal-Mart and Home Depot don't sell sub two second reloads. I don't know what else to do. Please enlighten me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Nail it on 2.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No.343 Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 I can probably squeak in at 2.3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 One thing I always do is to go through the actions in super slow motion. I can often notice inefficient movements this way. Other than that. Work the PAR times. Once you can hit a PAR time 10 times in a row, bump it down a tick. Then, nail 10 in a row there. When you hit a wall, it is likely tension. Back off the PAR time a bit at that point. Go to one that you KNOW you can handle for 10 in a row (chances are, you won't miss a few....and notice where the tension is located) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronEqualizer Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) You shouldn't have to bring the gun UP much as you stated. You should just be presenting the gun back to the target. If you are having to bring it up, then do the load higher, more in your face. Get your weak hand to that mag as fast as possible. Soon it will whip back up and you'll be launching mags across the room before you know it. Edited to add: Ha..Didn't realize I was in the revolver forum. Ummmm...can't help you...don't have a clue....good luck with that. 2.5 would be 5 times faster than me.

hopalong Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Took me 6 months to go from 2.2 (average of 10) to below 2......be patient, it will come. (oh and that was 3 years after I started shooting revolver exclusively. Hop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No.343 Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 I am patient. When I say my prayers I pray: "Lord give me patience right now." Seriously though, I fear that there are questions that I don't even know to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirpy Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) Bill Nesbitt posted a video of a great reload of his using speed loaders. Don't know how fast it was but..... FYI Richard PS: PM him for a link or maybe someone else can find it. Edited September 29, 2011 by chirpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Griffin Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Any lefties out there use an extended cyinder release? Does it get in the way of shooting? Not at all. I strongly encourage using one, though I prefer a lower profile than the Hogues which can get in the way when your thumb is crossing over. As for the sub-2 reload, I'll give you a big secret: Practice the ejection sequence over and over and over until you can't open the cylinder without performing the entire sequence automatically. Then all your focus can be on getting the moonclip as fast as possible and you'll be under 2 in no time. 1.5 is doable in live fire. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No.343 Posted October 1, 2011 Author Share Posted October 1, 2011 Thanks for the tips. The hardest part of the reload for me is actually opening the cylinder. I sometimes miss the cylinder release altogether. I guess my thumb just gets going to fast for my own good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No.343 Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 While working in slow motion, as Flex suggested, I found part of the problem. I am not consistent with the vertical position of my revolver while reloading. This might explain the difficulties I experience while trying to run (I call it running) and reload at the same time. I also have been keeping both my hands close to the gun instead of being more aggressive with grabbing the moonclips. I'm getting closer and closer.

granderojo Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Watch you don't go past vertical and get called for breaking the 180. Just a suggestion. Had a friend called for it not long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 That slow motion stuff works. Does looking down through the cylinder and seeing daylight help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No.343 Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 That slow motion stuff works. Does looking down through the cylinder and seeing daylight help? I have never done that. I'm still too young to look for the light on the other side. By holding the revo lower and in the same place I can line up the rounds and the holes easier. That way the rounds go in the cylinder in a smoother motion. I'm not seeing a big decrease in time, but the smoothness factor is definitely higher. I am very optimistic that it will pay off shortly.

pyrrhic3gun Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Just do what Jerry Miculek does. :^) Lots of videos are available. Personally, I need a new JM brain installed to make things happen that fast. :^) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southpaw187 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Any lefties out there use an extended cyinder release? Does it get in the way of shooting? I personally do not use an extended cylinder release; although i've never tried one. My hands are bigger than 'average' and I have no issues engaging the factory release with my left hand thumb.
