How do y'all carry your minimags?
I made a little pocket holster out of thick scrap leather that sort of holds open my fifth/watch pocket on my jeans. Keeps the cylinder from hanging up.

Imagine how fast you could shoot using a gun with decent ergonomics!Hmmm, I have no problem putting a brick of ammo through a Single Six in two or three hours of shooting.
I think that single action revolvers are slow and annoying to load and unload. This really doesn’t matter with something like a 44 magnum where I rarely shoot more than 24 rounds in a session, but it’s the reason I traded my Single Six.

Careful, this stuff could cause a little "grey matter" usage . . . .

Imagine how fast I could knit, or dribble a basketball, or juggle if I spent time doing those things. But I don’t want to spend time doing those things either. And since they improved on the original revolver design over 100 years ago I don’t have to spend time punching out individual empties either.
Now here’s an oddity: a post that manages to be both pointless and condescending at the same time. This forum needs a dislike button for posts like yours...
This thread started with the OP asking about SA revolvers. An opinion was solicited, and a valid one was given. How wonderful for the both of you that you like SA revolvers. How sad for you that you feel the need to “correct” anyone who doesn’t share your opinion.
For me it wasn’t speed of operation. It’s was ergonomics affecting my ability to put rounds on target. My SBH just didn’t fit my hands. I tried different hand positions and even made some custom grips. I even put a Millet scope on it. Easily put 500-600 rounds through it. Nothing worked. Sold the SBH to a good friend and bought a RedHawk.Imagine how fast you could operate a single action if you actually spent some time with one!
Its not about speed. I really like the process. Hosing out premium high speed ammo thirty rounds at a time into the same home at 100 yards with a laser sighted tactical rig or dumping a cylinder in 2 seconds isn't fun recreational shooting for me. Sure, it's what is want to do in a gunfight....but the HRR isn't intended for a gunfight.
Unless you're using speedloaders at the range, total reload time from an empty gun to a loaded gun is a wash. I initially learned to point-shoot with a K-22. Thousands upon thousands of rounds later, I started refining that skill with the Single Six. Tens of thousands of rounds later, I have a pretty good handle on the manual of arms for each. The DA is only faster if you're using speedloaders or moon clips. Of course, you still have to load them so it's really only faster in a gunfight.Imagine how fast I could knit, or dribble a basketball, or juggle if I spent time doing those things.

At the same time, you must concede that one might get a little ruffled by the statement that they don't have "decent ergonomics".Now here’s an oddity: a post that manages to be both pointless and condescending at the same time. This forum needs a dislike button for posts like yours...

Ya beat me to it CraigC !! Lol!
As far as his comment, it was perfectly fine.All the rest of us are wrong . . . .

They don't as compared to a DA revolver, at least for most people. Or at least for me, the person who was responding to the OPs question. DA revolvers were invented because people found the SA design limiting. Otherwise, the development of the revolver would have stopped with the SA.
?
Me thinks you’ve never actually handled/shot a Single Action Arm
The SA is much better suited to large and high-pressure cartridges. The DA is not improvement.
Well, you did kinda step into a single action thread to tell us how crappy they are.First I have a guy accuse me of not thinking and now this guy calls me a liar. Fun thread.

This thread is about 22LR. Not a large and high pressure cartridge.

Every comment you made has indicated to me that you perhaps have little experience with single-actions.
So again, show me where I called you a liar.
I’m done here. OP says he bought a SA anyway so the point is moot.
