Bubber Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 I have a stoopid question for the IDPA Revo shooters. I have heard from this forum that moonclips are faster than speedloaders. Now standing in one spot and doing two reloads without movement there is a chance of maybe a 1 second difference in reloads. (That is if both styles, moonclips and speedloaders, are practiced) But when movement is in play doesnot that sort of level a little the difference? I am asking this only because there might be something I'm missing. I have seen a friend of mine do a reload with speed loaders firing through a port reload and then fire again. This was done in 1.49 seconds. He did it twice during a match and got his hits. This was done at one of Rio Salado Tuesday night Steel matches. I do not know if cut down speedloaders are allowed in IDPA nor what speed loaders are used. My friend used the weak hand method or as Spook calls it the "German way" I am still working on getting my clip reloads as fast as my speedloader reloads used to be. Just a question for thought. I'll go back to lurking again. Hello Firewalker. rdd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Murphy Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 The right speedloader is as fast as a moonclip. The only thing is the disaster factor for speedloaders is a bit higher. By that I mean the moonclip is more forgiving. Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The disaster factor comment is 100% right on. See Ted, you and I aren't that far apart.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firewalker Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Heh Bubber, I will be getting a 686 and practicing speed loaders now while i descide if i will shoot in ESR. I saw no real reason for a second division, but then i havent been exposed to SSR long enough to learn the tricks either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
