Boats Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 For years when reloading a revolver always closed the Cylinder then rotated with my left hand until the stop engaged the notch. Wondering why. Pull the trigger and the hand rotates it anyway. Speed loading & shooting is there any reason to line things up before the next shot ?

nashvillebill Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I do that when it's going back in the holster, but I can't think of a reason to do it during a stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The machine takes care of everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wide45 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Does not hurt to rotate the cylinder enough to check for something dragging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the ways to improve performance is to identify those little unnecessary things we're doing that eat up time, and work to remove them from habituation.

Boats Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 I am not top level but at our club matches 1 sec often means 2 or 3 places in final ranking. Even middle of the pack it could move you up a couple of slots. Boats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meant check it at the make ready. Never in the middle of a stage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
