There's a thing called a mag dump. Revolver or magazine doesn't matter. In the event you have to use your firearm to defend yourself, you'll most likely empty it into your targets direction. After you pick up your firearm, order snap caps. They are non-fireable bullets with a piece of rubber where the primer should be. Practice clearing jams (double feeds and stove pipes) and reloading. Speed loaders or spare mags help, but you just want to practice to stay sharp.
This is getting more and more bonkers.
It's not bonkers, it's just advice. You can take it or leave it, no problem. Pick up your firearm and come back and look through these comments later. Take your time and be picky, get what feels right to you. For instance, I think I have my .45 for about 6 months before I picked up snap caps for it to practice with. Just don't shoot your eye out and you'll be fine.
I dont mean the advice is bonkers i mean the amount of detail is unexpected.
