hello all,
so I'm working on piecing together a handgun training and safety course, mostly for personal reasons but may eventually evolve into a publicly available service. one person from the board brought up the point that my course focuses strictly on semi automatic handguns and that people who own revolvers can't take the course. so I have a few questions that would allow me to start piecing together a revolver version of the course.
1. do all cylinders revolve clockwise or are there some goofball counterclockwise models?
2. how practical would it be to require a speed loader and require a timed reload for drills?
3. with semi autos a standardized course is not such a big deal when measuring handicaps because the sight radius difference between models is not so great, however with revolvers there can be as much as 6 inches difference or more depending on makes and models. what would make the most sense to accommodate this difference while sticking to a standardized course (IE giving snubbies a handicap, or requiring a higher score for people with bull barrels).
4. with semi automatics it is fairly easy to fit 50 to 100 rounds of life fire practice into a few hour training course, however because of the length of time it takes to reload revolvers and the ammo capacity limitations, what would you say constitutes a decent round count for a beginner's course?
