That was excellent. It seems like people who carry revolvers are neglected a lot when it comes to training and tactics.
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt

If my revolver is locked up and I have a back up gun, I won't be wasting time trying any of these procedures in a critical situation. I'll be going  straight to the back up.

+1. Fix the revolvers problem later. Grab the second gun first so you live long enough to do it.

The article advocates a back-up...........Of course, it never hurts to run through a few drills that might cover a 'worst case scenario'...just in case.

YMMV
