speed loaders come in two styles, twist to release and if you can find them push to release. Feed two bullets into the cylinder, the rest should follow. either twist or push and let the speed loader fall, close the cylinder and your good to go. At one point in time I could reload as fast as anyone with an semi auto, I just did not have the capacity of the semis....we had to qualify with twelve rounds in twelve seconds and with the speed loaders...not a problem
