IMO loading 'in the gun' contributes to accelerated wear on the loading lever, pivot screws, and arbor joint (you're putting a bending moment on it).

Using the pistol the way it was designed to be used. It was not designed to be taken apart to reload.
Just out of curiosity, how often do you use your pistols & under what conditions? I use mine at least three weekends per month in CAS competition. Disassembling a Colt style pistol to recharge the cylinder takes up too much time during a stage.
For general plinking or informal competition, a loading stand for Colt style revolvers could be beneficial, not CAS.
I can see where a loading stand wouldn't be a drag and could be beneficial foe ROAs or Remmies.
