Abstract
A front loading caulking gun comprising a tube which is open for 90.degree. of its periphery having a latch pivoted at its front end which swings completely out of the way to allow cartridge insertion and removal. It is latched into holes in the sides of the tube to hold the cartridge against the dispersing pressure. The wavy spring metal latch contacts several points around the metal bead at the front end of the cartridge to prevent cocking and to hold the cartridge snugly in the device until the latch is undone.
