Magazine loader

Hi all,

I get painful thumbs from loading up the magazine for Pardini 25m Sport Pistol. Does anyone know if uplula can be used for this? Any cheaper but reliable online options?

Thanks!

I have a FAS603 in .32 where the magazine lips are also quite sharp and this makes them difficult to load. I use one of those rubber thimbles which are used for counting banknotes or slips of paper. They are generally available from office supplies / stationary shops in a selection of different sizes. I find the largest size fits on my thumb nicely and makes loading magazines a breeze. They seem to last about 3 - 4 years before the rubber begins to perish but they only cost a couple of dollars each.

Thanks! That's clever, why didn't I think of that! :)

Pardini list a magazine loader for the SP/SP1. It just slips around the magazine and pushes the follower down.

I always thought they supplied one with the pistol as everyone seems to have one.

They also do one for the HP that clips over the back of the magazine and pushes the previous round down. You therefore only get a cut thumb on the first round, when the spring pressure is at its least.

The Pardini one works great although way overpriced for what you get. It sure saves the fingers.
