Loading Ruger Mark III Mag Question

[CJGlynn]

I am new to Calguns and first time handgun owner. I have a Ruger Mark III.
Enjoy shooting the gun, but mags are a pain to load. Holding down the spring
button is a pin in the thumb. Is there a simpler way to do this?

Did a Google search, but no luck. May not have been asking for the right thing.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Any of these three will help ya out...=)

I personally own the last one and it works great.

The Mcfadden is a miracle that opperates on magic and fairy dust. Worth every penny. I highly recomend it. Nice to load a full 10 round mag in less then 10 seconds.

Welcome to CG and congrates on your handgun purchase.
I have a device from HSK that I bought from www.midwayusa.com
Works OK but a little tight getting it over the mag. Also bought a device
from

http://borelsports.com

Simple device that gets the job done.
Both are inexpensive and a real thumb saver.

Do yourself a favor and get a few for your friends. With this vendor:

you get a "bulk" discount and you can pick your colors.
At my club, I did one buy and sold all of them, but I didn't get to keep one for myself. Did another buy, only this time I kept 2 for myself

Or you can use a spent shell casing in a pinch. But nothing loads quicker than the products mentioned earlier.

Look into a Ultimate Clip Loader. Best Investment for any Mark Pistol, period.

Will the McFadden do Mk1 mags? Does not list them.

No, it does not. Doesn't work for my Colt Huntsman either. You'll have to find other magazine loaders for those.

Ultimate clip loader helped me shoot double the ammo in the same amount of time. Is this a good thing?

Another + for the Ultimate Clip Loader

For range work I like the McFadden (Ultimate clip loader). For field work, I use
the Borel Sports tool. The only disadvantage to the McFadden is you can eat up alot of ammo real fast. In this day and age, could be a problem.
Both sysems are inexpensive, best to have both.
