Smith & Wesson 629

If you are carrying Specials as a primary load and full-house Mags for reloads, well, I mean, I just don't know if I personally would do that. The difference in felt recoil is the difference between lightning qnd the lightning bug; and - just my opinion - it's better not to have a sudden change-up in the middle of a firefight.

Once upon a time, a friend snuck a magnum into a cylinder full of specials as a practical joke.

We eventually became freinds again, but only after I had paid the bill for surgically removing the weapon and the box of magnum ammo from his rear end.

That's kinda like the time I put bird shot in one barrel on my bird gun, and a 3" slug in the other, and told my wife to shoot it without telling her. She got me back good though. haha.

Serious time: I hear what you're saying about the sudden change to maggies after shooting specials. I have 3 speedloaders. Two of them are specials, and the last is magnums. The magnum speedloader has red paint on the top of the little knob-handle thingy. It's also in a speedloader pouch on the right side of my body, right in front of my holster. Helps to keep me from grabbing the wrong one.
