My understanding is that to properly reload a revolver, you release the cylinder, eject empties with left thumb/hand while right hand goes for speedloader, insert speedloader and it's off to the races.
The problem is where to put the darn speedloaders (or any extra ammo, for that matter). I'm pocket carrying my 642 in my right pocket as I type this, and I know it's bad practice to put anything other than the gun and the holster in the pocket, as it might interfere with the draw. If I carry the speedloaders in my left pocket, I'd have to reach awkwardly around my body with my right hand in order to access them. Carrying in the back right pocket is out, because I enjoy sitting down from time to time . I'd prefer not to have to wear a belt when going out (the whole reason I pocket carry in the first place - if I'm going to put on a belt, might as well bring along the CZ and two extra mags). While I do wear cargo shorts with an additional pocket on each side, pants (khakis, jeans, etc.) offer no such option.
Any solutions?
