Of course, people (regardless of whether they carry revolvers or semi-autos) don't carry ammo boxes to hold their reloads if they care anything about speed, nor do they bother to clean up their brass in the middle of shooting. They either carry speedloaders (or some variation of speedloaders like moonclips or speed strips) or spare magazines and let the magazines/clips/loaders and brass stay where they fall until after the action is over.
We were both shooting factory ammo straight out of boxes and without any accessories such as Uplulas, loading trays, or speed loaders, and I never said anything about interim clean-ups. Also, we weren’t in a race to dump as as much lead down range as possible.
My apologies if I was unclear, but when I said ‘faster/easier,’ I actually mean less overall work. I just thought it was an interesting dichotomy - while a semi can certainly throw more lead faster in a SD situation, at a range (where most, if not all, shots are fired), a revolver is, overall, less work and that’s one of the things I really like about them. Guess this thread is about how badly handicapped revolvers are in the real world.
