ABSTRACT:
Devices (10, 10') for loading ammunition into a magazine (14) of a pistol (12) are disclosed including a cavity (54) formed in a panel (34) for slideable receipt of the depression knob (28) of the magazine slide (24) or including a retractable knob (54') for slideable receipt in a cavity (28') of the magazine slide (24). By moving the device body (32) relative to the magazine (14) when the magazine slide (24) is removably attached to the device body (32), the slide (24) will move against the bias of the magazine spring (26). When the magazine (14) is in a loading position relative to the device body (32), a retaining clip (38) is pivoted to engage the base (22) of the magazine (14) and hold the magazine (14) in the loading position. In the most preferred form, the device body (32) is in the shape of a grip for the pistol (12) to allow loading of the magazine (14) held in the loading position relative to the grip while holding the pistol (12). In the preferred form, the retaining clip (38) is retractable into the device body (32) by slideably mounting the retaining clip (38) in a cavity (40) between a first, inner position and a second, outer position. The knob (54') is retractable into the device body (32) between a first, stowed position and a second, outer position by movement of a cam (80) secured to the retaining clip (38) as the retaining clip (38) is moved between its inner and outer positions.
