MK3 magazine loader

I'm looking for a device that helps you hold down the button on the side of the MK3 magazine while loading. My friend has one for his Ruger MK 2 but it won't work with the Ruger MK 3 magazines. Has anyone seen one or know of a source?

Thanks,
Bob

These are cheap ones that work to hold the spring down. I ordered two. http://www.rimfiresports.com/merchan...egory_Code=VC2

Thanks KP97DC, I just ordered one!
$3.95 with free shipping, can't beat that.

I don't want to rain on your parade, but there is a reason Ruger never supplied a mag loader for the .22 autos. The way it is, you can only hold it down for a short time before it becomes uncomfortable, so the average shooter just holds it down far enough to insert one or two rounds at a time. If it is held all the way down while you drop rounds in and the button slips from your finger/loader, the spring can slam the cartridge into the feed lips. As the .22 is a rimfire, it can cause an unexpected discharge.

Thanks for the warning Coffee Pot. I'll just push it down as I put the shells in so it can't go far if it slips off. Would be same as thumb slipping off that way.

My speed loader came in on Monday. It works great! My thumbs are very thankful.
