Instead of catering to one gun or another, just go with what you want to use for the drill/test.... if you were down to 5 shots plus a reloaded 6th then that works for just about anything... if not, no big deal. I won't get upset if the drill is harder for me for sometimes carrying a j frame. The weapon one carries is a compromise of several factors.

Some drills will always work better with one gun or another. God forbid one of us get into a real life SD situation, only bits and pieces of any physical drill we train to, might matter, but the mental aspect of training to survive will no doubt carry over.

Nice, as someone who carries a j frame much of the time, the 5 shot drill, plus reload is perfect. I'm eager to hear the details.

"I'm trying to come up with a strong justification to force a reload just before the end of the sequence"

How about a simulated jam of some type. Load a dummy round as # 6 in the mag, or use 5 and reload from slide lock.
