Default S+W Long 10 Rd Magazines I feel robbed

What's the deal with the long S+W 10 rd magazines not having a follower button to make it easier to load? I guess I should be glad I got more spare magazine but I was hoping to get the same type magazine as came with the gun and like the spare I bought at the same time.

It might come down to that but that leads to the next robbery...my local Chinese take out not only stiffs me a fortune cookie but I get no chopsticks either

Small allen keys, pen tops/covers and wooden dowels will work, prolly other stuff lying around the house you can use!

I ordered the Raven Eye Custom ones in blue. Popped out the pin to increase capacity to 25 rounds. Took me about 5 minutes per mag. Very pleased.

Just pick up a 10/24 x .75in nylon bolt with a nylon nut and cut it down to size. Cheap and easy and works great. Most Ace Hardware stores carry nylon bolts/nuts.

You could spend money on buttons, or use just about anything that fits through the hole to load. If you have enough mags, you won't be reloading while shooting, so load em up before you go. Otherwise, order the buttons others are recommending.
