I wish I could reload my autopistols as fast -- or twice as fast -- as JM reloads his revolvers.

Fast bolt guns, Lightning fast lever guns, and Jerry making a revolver look like full auto. All great examples but I would add this single action two target two shot sequence done by the late and great Bob Munden. Of course other single action pros have done this as well and there is no other weapon I know of that can get two shots off faster

When I see those SASS folks shoot, I think to myself, "OK, libs, you want to ban semi-automatic "assault weapons"? Bring it, b____s; you have no idea."

Still think Jerry is a space alien. What he can do is not human...
And, he does not miss.

A lot of those stunts others do is the the equivalent of a mag-dump. You never see the resulting target hits.

That is exactly what I was about to post re: the first two rifle vids.
OTOH, the double-taps JM puts into the 4 targets prove he's hitting,
not just cycling the gun.

Well for the SASS Records they all have to hit - admitedly the targets for Duece are probably only 4-5 yards away but they have to hit.

Munden hits two targets a little bigger than a hearth or a kneecap at 7 yards with what appears to be a single shot, which is like saying he'd disable you and your buddy before either one can draw their glock and bring it to eye level.

An 8 (or even 7) round revolver is a tad "fat" for
concealed carry, and speed loaders are (also)
not as "thin" as magazines....
