While attending NRA bullseye matches some years ago I occasionally encountered a very pleasant gentleman who fired Master Class scores with a Model 25, which greatly interested me. He used ACP cases and those empties that didn’t fall out he simply flicked out with a fingernail. I, on the other hand, came to appreciate the convenience of full moon clips, while practicing to emulate his skill. That never happened, but while I was trying, a buddy (giving up on revolver bullseye) gave me this homemade lever gizmo for clip loading. It is not real speedy, but it works fine, and I have come to appreciate it more and more as arthritis creeps into my hands. No more bullseye target shooting, but still lots of fun with the Model 25-2.

Hey Mc, that looks great! I use a store-bought one, the red item in the pic below. I can see that your home made version would make it really easy...

The Model 25 in 45 ACP is a great secert and a hoot to shoot. The right tool makes the moon clips easy to load and shooting with them is a breeze. I love mine and would hesitate to use it for home defense.
 
I use a similar "store boughten" device for my 25-2, 325NG, and 625 Model of 1989. Takes all the pain out of shooting .45ACP. That's a nice homemade tool.
