Loading P 64 Magazine problem

[Benzman]

Hi Folks I have some hand arthritus and just got a Polish P64 from Aim Surplus. Nice piece but the magazines have a spring that is so stiff, loading is a problem. Any ideas of what I can do to make it easier to load these magazines? I woulod appreciate it.

As far as loading them goes I don't have any fantastic suggestions. However, when you do get them fully loaded, try letting them sit that way for a couple of weeks. Then take them out an put some rounds through them. The spring pressure for a couple of weeks along with the expansion/contraction of loading-firing-loading-firing should hopefully loosen the magazine spring so it won't be as stiff in the future. This has worked for me in the past.

I suppose you could do this manually without actually firing anything, but where's the fun in that? :-)

Good Luck!

If you're having trouble with a P64 then don't even think about a CZ82

Have you considered using a speed loader to assist you? Here's a model that might fit your needs: http://www.topglock.com/item/3991_HKS_Magazines_HKS_MAGLDR_380_9MM_SNGL_STK_ADJSTBLE.aspx

This is your answer.

Looks like you have your answer, so I'll slip this in...

I can almost load a 7th round in mine. What would happen if I did?

Thanks folks, I just ordered two mag lulas from Cabella's. The members here are the best!

you won't be disappointed. the UpLULA works (just barely; it's tight!) in all four of my P64 mags, and is a finger-saver for sure!
