      One-Hand Revolver Reloading Concealed Carry

      Copyright

      You’ve fired your last shot and recognized that you need to reload your revolver. Finger off the trigger!

      A skill that’s often said to be necessary for a defensive handgunner is the ability to reload his or her pistol with only one hand. The rationale is that you might be injured during a fight and not have the full use of both your hands. Given the difficulty of reloading a revolver with two hands, you can see the problem when there’s only one!

      Note that I didn’t say that this is a ‘vital’ skill, or absolutely necessary, as the times in which one would be forced to operate their revolver with a single hand during a fight are quite rare. Because of that reality I don’t think you should spend an inordinate amount of time practicing this stuff, but you should do it occasionally just so that you have, in the back of your mind, a grounding of the skill.

      The usual rationale for one-hand operation is that you could be injured at the start of an incident and thus have only one hand with which you can shoot and reload. While I think that’s possible – it’s no doubt happened in the course of human history – I don’t believe it’s terribly probable, as it doesn’t seem to occur all that frequently.
