Abstract: A device for loading revolvers from the front of the cylinder, a rotating cylinder in the revolver designed to releasably retain cartridges therein and to receive new loads from the loader and at the same time eject the empty casings. The rotating cylinder has a pivotal yoke and an arm extending laterally therefrom with a locking means for releasably maintaining the revolver cylinder in firing position on the frame. Guides are provided for aligning the cartridge chambers of the respective cylinders with each other. A loading cylinder abuts the revolver cylinder for reloading. A series of rams are provided which are movable against the reloading cartridges and which will contact the spent casings in the revolver cylinder and eject same. Casing retainers in the revolver cylinder will secure the reloads in place therein. A back plate mounted on the rear end face of the revolver cylinder maintains the holding means in the chambers in holding position.
