Default Loading tool

First attempt at loading tool was trying to modify the original size tools.

That proven to be impractical for several reasons:

1. Finger rest proven to be uncomfortable for stronger spring,
so the new tool has a bigger finger rest

2. Magazine bends were different and original size ears were shorter then needed to be supported by the magazine bend.
New tool has wide and longer ears.

3. Magazine base circles are bigger to stay proportionally correct to
the magazine, as a result they were interfering with the bottom of the tool when loading last round.
We have shortened the tail of the tool to avoid that.

New tool was manufactured from a solid block of steel 4140 at 35RC

What you see provided with the Target Model is a result of that effort.

Total of 50 tools were manufactured at the same time.

We try to pay attention to small details like that to provide a pleasant user experience to the Luger 45 shooters.
