Nice help from Ruger

I just got a Ruger Mark III stainless and one of the mags was missing the thumb button to pull the follower down while loading. Emailed them and they are sending a replacment with a return envelope.
BTW, I also got me one of those Ultimate Clip Loader's that works quite nicely for loading mags quickly without the sore fingers. Just dump the loose bullets in the hopper shake it and push the mags in and out comes a loaded mag.

The Ultimate Clip Loader is dang near magic! I have found, though, that I have to spray a bit of oil into the thing from time to time. Without the oil, it'll load only one or two rounds at a time; with a bit of lube, it loads in about a second and a half WOW!

A clear plastic bag works better.

I'm going to take a look at one of those.
When I got my MKIII last year The first time I pulled the button down to load the mag I discovered that they had left a nice ribbon edge on the slot. Laid my thumb open deep enough I briefly considered a trip to get stitches. I was pretty PO'd it delayed me getting to my back yard range by almost 15 minutes.

Clear shirt bage from the cleaners work best. Lots of room for hands and see-through material. CB
