Officially it's CLIP, not magazine

Et tu, Ruger?

Not enough space to be correct on this piece of plastic.

Seriously though, anyone use one of these? Does it just grab the follower or does it clip onto the bottom of the magazine?

I'm guessing it attaches to the side of the magazine. That hole must line up with the thumbnail gouger button.

Look at it, it's obvious as to how it's used. It fits over the magazine from the top and with the magazine base in the palm of your hand you pull down with your two strongest fingers and drop the rounds in as you go.

Or I would guess never having used one, LOL!

Maybe you could have the mag base on a table-top and use your fingers the same way to depress the follower and place the rounds in the magazine.

Hehe, I see what you did there.

Or Semanticinians!

Easiest way to do it with this one is to, as you said, fit it over the magazine, place your thumb under the magazine base-plate and with your index and middle finger pull the loader down. Friction helps you keep it and the follower, down while you feed the rounds.

I prefer this one,

Friction keeps it down while you load your rounds.

Works like that, slides over the top, pushed down the dimple. Saves you using your finger. I had one like this for my 22/45 mags

^I made a couple out of some fancy wood I had laying around. Real simple to build, works great and looks good too!

Here is the idea:

I got a similar on at a gun show decades ago. Without it I doubt I'd ever shoot that pistol!

I use one of these babies

Where'd you find this one?

 

[RobertMcC]

I hate shooting 22LR without loaders. I just made a loader this morning for my GSG mags.

ebay.ca Search for
hks mag loaders for .22

They also have an ad inside most Guns and Ammo and/or Handguns magazines.

I bough three of them and keep on me at most times.
When there are pretty lady shooters (who look like they
don't want to destroy their fingernails) I offer to loan one
for the session ---always reminding them that I'd like to
have them back.

Funny thing is the GSG spring is so forgiving, I have an Uplula with shims fitted
inside (glue and screw) that work beautifully but that I almost never use. I always
use the Mark 22/45 HKS loader though.

Never saw this version before. Simple and ingenious, but needs a spring.
The other two versions need no springs or working, movable (thus breakable) parts.

 

[tokguy]

Anyone aware of aftermarket ones for Luger magazines?
I've three pistols at home that are clip fed, kind of a PITA actually

After hunting around a little, I see that Zahal carries these particular ones.
