I’ve been shooting SASS matches since 2010. “On the clock” pistol reloads are very rarely seen in my region. As in twice in over ten years. I wouldn’t sweat it. Nor would I do something that felt was unsafe. Five seconds would be added to your score for the pistol round not fired. Not a biggie.
In general I don’t recommend that a new cowboy shooter use percussion revolvers, for a couple of reasons. If the shooter had a good bit of experience with them, I am less concerned.
