I was practiving my speed reload procedure (dummy ammo ofcource) and was thinking how much easier it would be for a right handed person if the cylinder swung out to the right. My quick reload process as of now is: activate release with right thumb, cradle the frame in left hand, push cylinder out with left index and middle finger, let go with right hand and reach for cart.s or speed loader, point barrel skyward and sharply press the ejector rod with left thumb in one quick motion, point barrel down at about a 45degreeand angle rear slightly to the right, insert ammo, close cylinder with left thumb and index/middle fingers.
it would be so much easier and less fumble prone if the cylinder swung to the right and the release was on the left. hit the release, pop the cylinder with your left thumb and index finger, dump the ejector rod with your left index finger reaching past the cylinder and load with your right hand from the right side..no reaching across the grips.
Is there a specific reason for the left side swing out? Single actions got it right and put the loading gate on the right side.
