Abstract
A holder for releasable securement of cartridges in condition for simultaneous loading of the cartridges into the chambers of a revolver's cylinder. The holder comprises the cylindrical body, having a plurality of axially extending, radially distributed cartridge-receiving bores adapted to align with and introduce the rounds into the revolver's cylinder chambers. The holder also includes a locking device which holds the cartridges by the rims of the cartridges, and this locking device can be released automatically as the cartridges are introduced into the chambers of the revolver. A free rotating sleeve allows the rotation of the holder such that the cartridges slide easily into the revolver. A plurality of legs attached to the holder allow for positioning the holder in proper alignment with the revolver's cylinder without touching projections of the revolving cylinder or the revolver itself.
