Lliam,

Welcome to the forum!

The original Lugers came with a small loading tool that doubles as a screwdriver for removing the firing pin. You can get both original tools and well made reproductions (which are relatively inexpensive, and actually come with some reproduction holsters).

The tool fits against the side of the P-08 magazine with the small loading button, and creates a shelf that makes it easier to compress the magazine spring. It may help you load your magazines.
