"I do like to be able to glance at the side of a revolver and quickly see if there's any in there."

I was thinking the same thing. I do it all the time before dry-fire practice.

I have loaded only 1 or 2 or 3 shots when I'm coming to the end of my ammo at the range if it's all I have left.

This is a very useful thread, as I will always remember to keep the other chambers full of empties from now on.

For some reason I can't seem to go home without shooting all the ammo I have for the day!!
