Yah, I think the thumb-saver would have done the trick nicely. I tried the speed loader, it seemed nicer too. I "only" went through around 100 rounds, so not the same test, but no sore spot on my thumb.

I googled M41, and THAT is a nice pistol! I don't think I'll be able to afford that any time soon!

It would be nice to have bigger magazines for sighting in the pistol, I know, boo hoo, poor me having to switch magazines, but switching takes time away from being able to sight it in. Not a big deal, really, just would be nice to have 15 or more.
