The question - if it wasn't clear enough - was/is:

Is Jerry Miculek faster than Josh Lentz from last shot - reload - first shot.  In other words - who is the fastest at that particular function ??

 

I personally have never seen Jerry reload with speed loaders ( ie - classic division ) either in a match or any online videos. 

 

Jerry's ICORE Classification records says he's only ever shot Open division.

So, with that conclusion - I'd say Josh Lentz is faster ( www.joshlentzshooting.com )

That's not a speed loader.

That is a model 625, and Jerry is using Moonclips.

 

We are talking about speedloaders here, which are different then moonclips. The two are entirely different.

Never mind.

Does it matter weather one guy is faster than the other one way or another? Hint the answer is no

Everyone needs to find what is fastest for THEM.

After watching Jerry get DQed for a 180 at a match I decided to go with the weak hand load.  If Jerry can break 180 while doing the swap hand load I knew that I would.

I’m a weak hander.

Maybe my technique is weird, but one aspect of reloads I never see mentioned is grip material.

If a bullet or skirt contacts a rubber grip en-route to the cylinder, it’ll catch and can just about twist an SL out of your hand.
