In reviewing the article, it says that the speed loader should be in your "gun" hand in order to drop them into the cylinder. Being more familiar with semi guns and carrying my extra magazines on the weak side for quick work, where/how do you carry your speed loaders for the same process. When looking at photos of police officers when they carried revolvers, I could swear I saw the guns on their right side and speed loaders on the left side. At what point in the process due to grab the speed loader and then switch it to your gun hand?
