In this video I walk through the classic “Cowboy Load” method for safely loading a traditional single action revolver. This old-school technique—load one, skip one, load four—has been around since the days of frontier carry, and it’s still relevant for anyone running a traditional fixed firing pin revolver today. We’ll cover: • Why the Cowboy Load exists • The step-by-step loading sequence • The mechanical reason behind resting the hammer on an empty chamber • A quick safety refresher for new shooters If you’re running a classic single action the way it was designed, this is the method that keeps things both authentic and safe. As always: handle firearms responsibly, follow the four rules, and know your equipment.
