Well yes, but then (as always in RPG's) you have to balance realism with
fun. Much of the time, it's a sliding scale with fun at one end and realism
at the other. Sure, PEG could publish strictly accurate rules for how long
it should take to reload a peacemaker (and yes, you're right that an
unmodified Peacemaker will not take a speed loader - you have to spin the
chamber yourself and load the bullets one by one.) But then who would use
one in game? 

Nobody. And what's more cool than a Peacemaker? :-)
