 :) Well . . . OK ;)

Try and remember, for SASS and NCOWS, you can't carry charged and capped cylinders no matter the method.  Not legal for either activity.  You might also consider placing a nice leather spacer between those cylinders to keep them apart whilst you're rolling down the hill into the briar patch  :o   Constantly banging together will mar the blueing.  Did you make the pouch in your tin Type??

Since your not intending to actually play our games, I would also be want to point out, in the time it takes you to re-load, the really annoyed Bear is going to have you for an appetizer  ;D

I was just pointing out that it could conceivably have been done, and using what we know was commonly available, no special unobtainium pouch required, especially post war when surplus revolvers were being dumped for dirt cheap.  I am already aware that carrying capped cylinders like that, safe or not (and I believe that it would be) is not match legal.  I think that's a mistake, but it is what it is.

My question regarding the cylinder in this thread, regarding specifically the revolving carbine and match use has been answered already.  The reason I posted the picture was just in case anyone was interested in the concept.  My own personal reasons for why I would want a pouch like that have nothing to do with competition and everything to do with hunting, convenience, and preparedness for future ammunition shortages.  (Remember 4 years ago where we went over a year where ammunition and reloading components were basically unavailable outside of scalpers?  Well I do, and lets just say the experience left an impression, I could foresee several scenarios where that could happen again, long term, and in such a scenario, that is my spare "magazine" pouch.)

That is a great way to carry them.   Just cap on the clock, or if it is your first set of shooting, you cap at the loading table.   On a side, for the Howell cylinders, the 2 piece ones, you can get spare cylinder portions, load them and carry as shown, but the back plate is singular and when you switch, it is part of the switch that stays with the pistol.   expensive, but doable.

There is also room to either side of those cylinders where the back plate would fit ;)
