As we get "older", it is common that we lose strength in our hands, and elsewhere. It is a fairly common occurrence for an older person to come into the shop and ask me to make it easier for them to retract the slide on their semi-auto-tragic pistol. I tell them,"sure, I can do that, I can put a lighter recoil spring in, but then the gun won't work". Or they bring in a small, double action revolver, with a factory trigger, that the little old lady can't pull to the rear without using both hands, and both fingers on the trigger. I just hook the follower button of a luger mag on the edge of the bench at the range and push the mag up, thereby drawing the follower down, and just drop the cartridges into the mag. Easy.
