A walkthrough of loading a semi-automatic handgun magazine by hand. The speaker covers finger positioning on the magazine, using your thumb to manipulate the follower, aligning cartridges with the magazine lips, and the reverse-wrap technique for re-seating the loaded magazine.
Alright, so index finger goes on the front of the magazine and we pick it up. We're putting our right thumb over the top and wrapping our fingers around. This thing here that we can move is called the follower. Okay, up there. Alright, so we can move the follower with our thumb. We're going to take the flat part of the bullet we're putting it in front of the magazine lips. The magazine lips are the things that are actually holding the bullet in once we get it in there. Our thumb is on the bullet pushing down, and then our left hand pushes back. You can see how the lips are holding it in. When we go to put this back down, we're going to do a reverse wrap where our index finger goes here again, and we're just putting it right back down. And that's it!
