ABSTRACT:
A cartridge magazine for use with a firearm includes a housing arranged to enclose a plurality of cartridges. The housing has an opened end and a mouth for permitting cartridges to be loaded therein and dispensed therefrom. A follower is movably positioned within the housing and biased toward the mouth. At least one movably mounted tongue and an opposing member are associated with the mouth. The movably mounted tongue is constructed and arranged to move between a first normally biased cartridge retaining position wherein a forward-most cartridge is retained in the mouth by the tongue and the opposing member and a second cartridge loading position wherein the movably mounted tongue is moved linearly away from the mouth as a new cartridge is inserted thereinto. The tongue thereafter returns to the first cartridge retaining position.
