Speed reloading is a practice method that improves your speed of reloading, this is crucial in self-defense situations or in life-threatening situations. The proper way of drawing your speedloader from the pouch and simultaneously reloading it in the revolver is not a hard thing, but requires a lot of practice.
1. Bring the gun back

HOW TO RELOAD YOUR Colt Python PROPERLY IN 5 [EASY] STEPS
With training, a revolver shooter can learn to smoothly reload their revolver. Obviously, only Jerry Miculek, the world record holder for revolver shooting, will be able to keep up with Jerry Miculek, but the average shooter will be able to hold their own, too.
Step 1: Unlatch the cylinder with the right hand
After firing all of the rounds in a cylinder, unlatch the cylinder with the right thumb. On most models, this is done by releasing the cylinder latch. This action is done without shifting the grip. During this step, the gun is still in both hands, although the shooter begins to shift it toward the left hand. Cylinder latches differ, depending on the make of the revolver. Any user can train to use any brand of revolver. What should the officer be doing simultaneously? He should be pulling his profile further in behind cover.
Step 2: The two fingers of the left hand push the cylinder open while the shooter shifts the gun to the left hand
Using the middle and ring finger, the shooter pushes the cylinder open. The gun is shifted into the left hand. At the same time, the shooter points the muzzle straight up and reaches for the speedloader.
Step 3: Using the left thumb, the shooter thrusts the empty brass from the cylinder
By this time, the muzzle should be completely vertical. The shooter forces out the empty brass by pressing the ejector, the nail-like Step 3: Using the left thumb, the shooter thrusts the empty brass from the cylinderUsing the left thumb, the shooter thrusts the empty brass from the cylinder protrusion from the center of the cylinder. The shooter should be holding the gun with the ring and index finger of the left hand through the frame and the left thumb. The brass should fall freely from the gun. If there is stubborn brass, thrust the flat of the right hand down on the ejector. Begin to point the muzzle downward.
Step 4: With the muzzle pointed downward, guide the speedloader to the cylinder with the right hand.
The cylinder is still pinched between the two fingers poking through the frame and the thumb. This stabilizes the cylinder so the right hand can guide the speedloader. Hold the speedloader so the cartridges are parallel to the fingers and the tips of the fingers are on the cartridges. Once the cartridges are nosed in, release them and let the speedloader fall. This set up is deliberate. It is hard to aim the speedloader into the rear of the gun, especially under stress in low light. It is much easier, however, to learn to guide the fingertips into a circle formed by the thumb and two fingers of the hands.
Step 5: Close the cylinder with the left thumb and assume a good shooting grip with both hands—engage.
Under ideal situations, a good shooter can get the reload down to around 5 to 6 seconds. Yes, slamming a new magazine is considerably faster, but practice will close the gap between the two.
THE Colt Python SHORT AMMO GUIDE
We are dealing with the issue of extra ammo, how to get it in the mag the best way and how to reload like a pro but unless you haven’t got the AMMO itself you may as well read about rocket science without sitting in your rocket. So not only is it important to know the size of ammunition you need, but it is also important to consider the use you have intended for the bullets that you are picking out. Consider the type of ammo that you prefer. The type of bullet varies and may be important if you are using the ammo for a specific activity such as either target shooting, hunting, or self-defense. Here are examples:
- Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) have a brass or other metal casing surrounding the softer (usually lead) core. These are required by the Geneva Convention for military rounds, as they have very limited expansion, making combat wounds less devastating. They generally leave less fouling on the barrel's rifling, resulting in slightly better accuracy than some other rounds.
- Soft point bullets have the front, or tip of the bullets soft metal core exposed, but the sides and tail of the bullet are jacketed so they foul the barrel less than bullets with no jacket at all, and engage the barrel's rifling more aggressively.
- Hollow points have a hole in the center of the tip of the bullet, which causes more initial expansion on impact. There are arguments as to whether this feature affects accuracy, but the real results vary from gun to gun.
- Semi Wadcutter bullets are flattened on the end to create a shockwave in living tissue on impact. These are often a preferred round for self defense, since the generally do more damage than other bullets. Wadcutters have a completely flattened tip, again designed for causing maximum damage on impact. Shot shell bullets are bullets load with small bird shot, sometimes referred to as rat shot, used for shooting small varmints (hence the name) at very close ranges.
- Non Lethal rounds are special low velocity rounds used for riot control and other police/military purposes. Blanks, as the name implies, are blank cartridges, containing only a powder charge, used for theatrical purposes or in starter pistols.
- Other bullets include frangible bullets, tracers, and armor piercing rounds with special purposes not really addressed in this content.
