Abstract
A magazine loader for sequentially loading cartridges into an uppermost cartridge space of a magazine comprising a housing defining a cavity with a lower magazine receiving opening and an upper cartridge receiving opening. A movable tool at the upper cartridge receiving opening includes an arm that extends to an uppermost cartridge position. When a magazine is inserted into the housing cavity the arm engages with the uppermost cartridge or the spring loaded follower of the magazine depressing same. As a cartridge is inserted through the upper loading opening, the cartridge effects a rearwardly directed force to the arm of the tool causing the arm of the tool to move rearwardly directed force to the first arm may cause the pin to move forwardly and upwardly along the path thereby withdrawing the first arm from the uppermost cartridge space allowing the cartridge to occupy the uppermost cartridge space.
