Hickok45 loading mag

[Jeremiah/Az]

Did any of you notice how easily Hickok45 loads the Kahr magazines with his bare hands? Wish I could do that. That tears my thumb up. It looks like I have a thumborrhoid after 3or 4 mags! Yes, I bought a little plastic gizzmo that works, but it is just something else to f with & keep track of.

Hey, man up! Then you can reload a mag as fast as Hickok45. Practice baby, practice ;)

Yeah, I've got one of those plastic thingys too. Always seems to jump out of my range bag at the house before I go to the range. Maybe what I've got to do is have 1 bag for the revolvers and one bag for the semi-autos with two sets of hearing protectors and "range tools".

I'm guessing if you've load hundreds of thousands of rounds in your lifetime you build up some callous in the right places :).

I haven't loaded hundreds of thousands of rounds in my lifetime but I do have small callouses where my thumborrhoids used to be...and can easily load Kahr mags bare handed....

kahr magazine have never been an issue for me- ever. Unlike my G19 magazine from what seems round 12 through 15, Uplula comes to the rescue for my glocks. My Smith M & P magazines were a bi-ch also, Uplula solved that issue to..

[O'Dell]

I always use the UpLula [when I don't forget to put it in the bag] at the range on my 45's. The only exception might be the 1911's which are easy to load.

Compared to my Glock 27 the CW45 is a piece of cake. I don't think I could get the last two rounds of 40 S&W into the mag for my G27 without the help of the mag loader.

has one ever tried to compress a magazine spring , Imean just the spring. Those bas-ards are strong and in those double stack mags, even stronger. It is a wonder some of us do as good as we do even. I never had issues with single stack mags like I did with double stack mags, but neither are deal breakers either. Not like we can use our feet and arms to help load those magazines, just our tiny and some fat and some bent all out of shape fingers shoving a bullet down further and further and further...

aw but life is goood though, ain't it.. If we ain't b-tchen, then we ain't watchin Obama!!

Get a revolver, no mag springs to contend with, rounds just drop in :)

My 18 round CZ mags are also tough for the last 2 rounds. Probably why I only reload 5 to 10 rounds at a time when I'm shooting it at the range.

Can't 'man-up' on this one! I've never used a loading tool and have always had no problems loading mags (S&W, XD, Taurus, Ruger, 1911, just to name a few), but the Kahr mag lips are cutting my thumb so bad that I now take a glove with me to the range just to use when loading my mags! I'm actually thinking of adding the white medical tape to my range bag just to wrap around my thumb for loading. Its strange when I leave the range from shooting my P40 covert and what hurts the most is my thumb! :)

[TheTman]

I just wish I could shoot as well as Hickock45 does. That man is amazing. I've not had too much trouble with the Kahr mags, but sometimes I do wuss out and use my uplula for my Beretta 12 round .40 mags. Those last two cartridges are a real bear to get in there without it. One guy even posted on their site that they were lying and selling 11 round mags as 12 round mags. Not true.

[robdnor]

I dont find the kahr mags all that hard to load, but ive been loading bare handed since i started shooting a couple years ago.. but i do agree that those double stack mags are much harder than the single stacks
