There's almost no difference in reloading removable or rotary magazines, magazine limits only annoy the law abiding.

It's not practical to try to rush someone reloading using a revolver. It takes less than a second to reload a revolver, and most shooters just move to a secure/obstructed location before reloading and moving on. Remember, 23 mass murders have been done with revolvers, none were disarmed while reloading.

The idea of "clips" goes back to the 1800's and something called moon clips: that holds a bunch of bullets together, so you can drop them into a revolver at once. It is not much more complex to flip open the cylinder, eject, and drop in a new set of bullets, then it is to drop a magazine and drop in a new magazine. And again, mass shooters usually have more than one gun, so if someone tries to charge them, they just pull and use the other gun.

A thug with a revolver is as dangerous as one with a semi-auto. Most mass shooters don’t even need to reload w/10 rounds (which some revolvers hold). And a mass shooter with 4 revolvers can still kill 47 people and save the last bullet for himself. Which is a higher kill rate than all but one of our top mass shootings have managed (and those shootings lasted over an hour). The higher reliability of revolvers can actually increase gun fatalities. Revolvers are cheaper than semi-autos (due to their simplicity), so at least you lowered the price for the bad guys.

🗒️ NOTE:
A "Chicago reload" is to just carry more than one gun: so you don't reload at all, you just pull out your backup gun and keep firing. Some cowboys wore two holsters. 10-12 round revolved means you can shoot 24 people with two guns... 36 with three... and so on.
