Not to mention the wad cutters hit MUCH lower than a +P+ round nose. Like 7-10 inches lower at 10 yards. Biggest trick was to get away from HKS speed loaders when Safariland started making them. No twist the knob, just slam them home and let the loader fall.

And we must exit memory lane. Your making me miss my old 686.

"...Safariland..."

Yup! I carried a N-frame S&W, use the original Kel-Lite rubber speedloaders for years, loved them. Then Safariland came out with their's and there was no comparison. Those things are FAST!!!

IPSC and PPC competition money + GI Bill and 3 jobs put me thru college.

> The only thing you EVER say afterwards is, "He said he was >going to kill me. I believed him.
>I'm sorry, Officer, but I'm very upset now. I can't say >anything more. Please speak with my attorney."

Leave out the first sentence unless that is what really happened. If they prove in court
he does't speak english/there was too much noise for you to hear him/witnesses heard him say something else/cctv show his lips never moved/an open mobile phone call caught the conversation etc

your very first statement is a proven lie.

And leave out the 'I'm very upset now' it undermines your reliability as a witness. "So you say you remember perfectly what happened; but by your own words you were emotional at the time?"

Your first words should be 'Call an ambulance!' then start administering first aid. And resist the temptation to talk about what just happened to anyone. When the police get there say "you have my full co-operation officer; but I'd like to speak to my attorney first".
Repeat ad-nauseum.
