Hi all,
I picked up a Mak magazine loader from Karl at:
http://www.makarov.com
for, I think, 5 bucks.
It's a heavy-duty plastic gizmo that fits over the Mak magazine, you push down on it to depress the magazine spring (via the tab that holds the slide open after the last round) making the magazine easy, easy to load.
Used it for the first time last night and it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. No more sliced thumbs, no more blood on the brass, etc. Karl is on vacation so you'll have to wait for a while if you want to order one.
Anyway, it's a great Makarov accessory. If you own a Mak, you really should give this a try.
regards to all,
Owen
