Also failed to be mentioned is my preferred way: Open loading gate, place hammer at loading notch. Rotate cylinder and insert cartridges one at a time, skipping second chamber, loading four more. Close loading gate, cock gun, ease hammer down.
If empties remain in the cylinder to start, rotate cylinder and punch out empties with the handy spring loaded rod located alongside the barrel.
With a little forethought and caution, and a .45 Colt, reloading usually can be done rather leisurely.
