help with .44 revolvers

Sorry guys I've been there and done it and a single action doesn't do it for me anymore like a double action does when I am in remote wilderness areas.

I totally prefer the balance, weight and feel of my Ruger Bisley Vaquero's over my double actions but these things are largely irrelavent given the capability of a fast reload.

Do/will I need a fast reload in a bear encounter maybe not but if I do I have the capability of it.

Would I dump out remaining rounds to reload if I needed to "yes" I would, I carry 2 to 4 speed loaders on my holster belt just depends on what holster system I am using at the time and a loaded round falls out way faster than an empty.
 
Damn you ApoC 101 !!!!! I had promised myself not to spend anymore money on anything gun related before the family and I went on holidays!!!!!
Then you go and put up that pic showing the fiber optic site on your .44 SBH !!!!!
DAMN DAMN DAMN !!!! Oh well....off to the store I go.......:)
If my wife finds out, I'm blaming you!!!!! LOL!!!!!

russian nagant pistol-that's the only one that comes to mind- most of us lefties "learn" how to compensate either using speed loaders or SWITCHING hands-or doing other 'WEIRD" THINGS
 
Texas Longhorn Arms used to make a single action that loaded on the opposite side.
Being left handed and having spent a lot of time with big single actions in the field and on the range, I would have to say it was to give the right handers the handling characteristics we know and love. The rumour is that Sam Colt was left handed. I am not sure if that is true or not, but a conventional single action sure works well for a practiced lefty.

from what i've read he was not= the reason the colt saa et al are left handed is because the SABER was the primary at the time at the time and the pistol was viewed as the backup weapon for mounted troops and officers- as to why the pistol was carried on the right is easily explained when you consider the saber- it's worn on the left and used by the right- as to why the holster has a right hand bias, i don't know- it should have a left hand bias and be worn on the right- same deal for the colt 1911, although it came in right at the end of active saber duty
