Praise God. I actually have a military issue .357 revolver that is a Colt. It is designed to load one bullet at a time until you've loaded all cylinders. I guess it was an officers gun. I don't know. I haven't even shot it yet. I've been meaning to look it up on the net to see why it is designed this way.
