C&Rsenal's old gun show makes room for a modern speedloader
Five uploads pair the 5 Star DC review with an Inglis High Power history lesson and a Lebel R35 overview.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
2025 - 5 Star DC Speedloader
C&Rsenal reaches into the present without leaving its mechanical-history curiosity behind. "2025 - 5 Star DC Speedloader" was the most watched of its five new uploads, gathering roughly 42,000 views for a compact look at a modern revolver accessory.
The presenter traces the design's evolution after speaking with developer Garrett Deieso, explaining that DC means "dual compression." Close-ups and demonstrations with dummy cartridges give viewers something concrete to discuss. Several focus on the absence of a twisting release, while another asks whether the button could be pressed accidentally during everyday carrying. There is also, inevitably, an AC/DC joke.
The longer historical thread continues in "Primer 232: Inglis High Power." Part of the channel's recurring multimedia lecture series, it credits books by R. Blake Stevens, Clive M. Law and Anthony Vanderlinden, plus animations by Bruno. The Inglis name brings a Canadian chapter to the High Power story: John Inglis and Company manufactured the pistol in Toronto during World War II.
That lecture and "Lebel R35" are drawing the most daily views among the channel's videos right now, with the newer Lebel overview particularly busy. The fortnight-old "Claridge Hi-Tec Pistols" also remains active, extending the week's interest beyond fresh uploads.
Across the catalog, daily viewing is about half again its usual level, although the subscriber total was unchanged over the week. Nearby in size, robinswords also has elevated daily viewing, while Perun is quieter than usual. C&Rsenal's own mix remains distinctive: a short modern mechanism review beside the patiently documented history classroom.

But do you need an inverter to use it with AC revolvers?
@alex7x57See it on YouTubeGreat that you don't have to bother with preventing the cylinder from turning.
@BSJ-VTSee it on YouTubeOnly question I have is how hard is the button to push? Is an accidental release possible because it is too easy to depress? I would hate to have the rounds fall out in the bottom of the pouch because I bumped the release against something at some point throughout the day.

Smoother than a lot of the less modern examples in this series.
