Well for those of us with decades of 6 shot revolvers it does not work. Same reason I dislike 7 shot revolvers.
Exactly....

Shooting a 6 shot D/A revolver - properly - has become a lost art.
Glad to see there are others that can appreciate the beauty of watching an X disappear on command & at any distance.

The exact cadence I was taught for shooting D/A was/is:
- one potato
- two potato
- three potato
- four
- five potato
- six potato

- Get (shift gun to left hand - place fingers on cylinder - release latch with right thumb & kick open cylinder)
- Some (invert gun with muzzle to the sky - punch star extractor with left thumb)
- MORE - reload & close cylinder.

5 shot, 7 shot, 8 shot, 10 shot (.22) - just mess with my head because the indexing is all wrong.
