Re: mag
Larry,
The answer to loading your magazines is a loading tool. Tom Heller has both the originals and reproductions. The tool makes loading the magazines a snap. |

Hi Larry
there is a tool that is used to load the magazine you can get one from Ralph or check the links section to the left for more sources. Triple K and Mec-Gar make realy good replacment mags. Hope this help. Mike |

Re: mag
Hello all;
I just bought a new repro magazine off of e-bay, was 29.00, which you can get them for a bit more and a bit less. This one had a wooden base. works better than my original, except it is a bit hard on the thumb to reload. If you are only using a box or two of 9 MM than no big deal, but yes it starts to wear on the thumb. Nothing like when we loaded a couple of hundred .45 magazines at the shooting range when I was in the army, Ed |

Re: mag
I have two different types of loading tools, both of which work well with the Mec-Gar magazines which closely approximate the originals. The Triple-K however is designed with the Magazine Follower Button very close to the case such that the loading tools will not properly engage.
