Took my Mitchell Arms (Aimco) Luger out shooting last week, and forgot to take a loading tool with me. It took two of us to load the mags, one pulling the spring down while the other inserted the cartridges. The spring is so stiff I almost blistered my thumb. I got quite a few failures to feed. The next time I took it to the range I used a loading tool, and this time there were no failures to feed. It seems that it is very important that the cartridges be inserted in the mag very precisely, and you need a loading tool to do it correctly.
