Why Clockwise and why right hand breech
Do most wheel guns rotate clockwise when fired?
Why is the loading breech on the outside for a right handed shooter? Is there some kind of ergonomic advantage? Withdraw cartridge from belt with right hand, hold weapon in left, load with right hand. Seems to me if the loading breech were on the inside for a right handed shooter, the reloading process might be expedited. Your thoughts please. Best wishes, OIS

In my experience, it seems to me that, being right-handed (as are the majority of people obviously) if you hold the frame of the gun in your left hand, with your two middle fingers through the breach to hold the cylinder, when you are done loading with your right hand, and repostion the cylinder, grabbing the grip of the gun with your shooting hand is faster.
If the cylinder opened on the right side, and you held the gun with your right hand, while loading with your left, you'd have to transfer the gun to your left hand then grab the grip with your right hand. It would take longer.

It sounds like you are talking about single action revolvers.
If so the design of the gun had the loading gate on the outside because you are shooting it with the wrong hand. The gun was designed for left handed shooters.

Since I’m a revolver kind of guy…
If you hold the revolver as The Gimper describes, your left hand forms a natural cup that catches bullets that “just didn’t make it in.” Thereby saving you the embarrassment of having to pick those stray cartridges out of the mud. Somebody was thinking long before I came along.

Magazines for X-Frames seem to be quite reliable. They are HUGE, however, and subsequently, are not very popular. Thanks,

Some Colts, not sure if all, are the opposite of righty tighty, lefty loosy.
