Great video on Revolver Tactical Reload. I mentioned this technique and apparently a lot of younger revolver shooters are not familiar with it.

Great video and reminder that at minimum carrying a speed strip would be wise.
To be honest this is a skill that would also be important to focus on for those that carry a semi-auto as well and a reason to carry a reload with the semi-auto.
When I was working in LE and attending regular trainings tactical reload skills were practiced on your range training days.
While carrying a back up 442 revolver I would practice this skill when I qualified so that I kept my revolver topped off during qualification so I would not slow down the firing line for those carrying semi-autos.
Thanks for posting.

Good video. I've mentioned this in other posts. For "tactical" oriented revolver shooters even just punching holes in paper always use your speed strips or loaders. And practice that partial reload too. Know your indexing. Keep that manual dexterity sharp.

When I was heavily involved in shooting revolver in IDPA, I got halfway decent at this. My usual loadout when carrying a revolver is a speedloader and a speed strip or a 2x2x2 pouch.
What I hope I'll do if I ever have to do this for real is shoot, then run like hell to the nearest hard cover, then reload.

I wonder how those revolvers that use moon clips work for a tactical reload? I'm thinking it's kind of hard to pick out and replace two or three rounds. Yeah, I like my defensive revolvers to utilize only the cartridge rim.
