As we get further and further into this procedure, note that the problems get more esoteric and uncommon. That’s the beauty of this approach: the common stuff is dealt with at the atart, and it’s the uncommon malfunctions that take the time.

Reloading solves the majority of revolver misfiring issues.

First symptom: Gun doesn’t fire

As I noted earlier, the most common malfunction is also the simplest to fix: a round that fails to ignite. This is the one time that the revolver apologists are right – stroke the trigger again to bring a fresh round under the hammer. If that round ignites, the previous one was probably a dud (though you could have a reliability issue with your gun. If this happens frequently, a trip to the gunsmith may be in order.)

If the worst happens and the next round doesn’t go off, it’s most likely because you’re out of ammunition. This brings up what I call the Universal Malfunction Prescription: RELOAD!

The process of reloading the revolver gives us a non-diagnostic method to get the gun running again. By ‘non-diagnostic’ I mean that you don’t need to expend time and mental energy trying to figure out what’s going on with the gun, then figure out the best course of action for that specific situation. Instead, we let the process itself lead to the correct solution.
