Nice and smooth. I no longer have a shot timer or a chronograph but the real test that I would like to do is your split times between shots on target and the reload. BINTD with a 10yrd IPSC target with 1911 my split time for doubble tap on target , dump a mag and then doubble tap again with  A zone hits was usually  1.5 seconds and a little under for the reload if it was a good day 1.45 or so. I  never timed my reload with a revolver but I doubt is was fast. i suspect I would be very  lucky to get to 5 seconds with an 1858 coming from a pocket. Getting a pouch unsnapped and getting the fresh cylinder out is a bit time consuming.     Your real best bet with a cap and ball revolver  or any revolver for that matter is to make every shot count.
