Funniest thing I've read in a while.

Step 1:  Get a better gun
Step 2: ??
Step 3:  Profit!!

....in all seriousness, the situation is that you have run out of ammo completely, and need to get the gun back into working order.  So---start the timer, shoot the revolver until empty, reload it completely, and take a couple of shots.  (All shots need to be on target.) 

Go back to your timer and find the split that corresponds to your reload time.  (Do this cold.  None of that "practicing the reload" stuff before you try to find your time.)    Don't only perform a  "one shot, reload, one shot" drill.  Your times will be different if you do that, and not really indicative of reality.

That's the question, really---what is your skill level right now, and what would it be under stress (at least a little), without having warmed up or practiced first?

Lots of people carry those, and really love them.  Probably the most commonly-carried handgun out there.

(I am a capacity snob, and I know it.  For lots of reasons, but for a local one:  I just keep remembering the Walgreens situation in which 8 shots were put toward one target---and there were two targets.  BUT, that's my choice, and no one else needs to agree with me.)
