This review compares the reload speed of a Smith & Wesson swing-out cylinder revolver against a break-open Webley revolver, both in .38 S&W. Tests revealed nearly identical reload times between the two designs when using clean firearms. The Webley offers a unique selective ejection feature and better leverage for stuck cases, but the S&W M&P remains a preferred historical choice.
In this video, "Bloke on the Range" compares the reloading speed of a rare 7.5mm Swiss M82/29 "Abadie"-type gateloading revolver against a classic 1940s Smith & Wesson M&P revolver chambered in .38 S&W. The experiment aims to quantify just how much slower gateloading is compared to a swing-out cylinder, even with the Abadie system's automatic cylinder indexing. The host reveals that, even with its specialized mechanism, gateloading is demonstrably slower and less efficient.
Speed strips are preferred over speed loaders for EDC due to their lower profile, greater capacity (often 6 rounds vs. 5), and tactical versatility for partial reloads. While speed loaders can be faster for a full reload, speed strips offer better comfort and concealability in pockets, making them ideal for concealed carry and situations requiring topping off the cylinder.
