Indians For Guns

Hi everyone,

I own a JD Taurus PT57 .32 pistol, but loading the magazine becomes extremely difficult after the first few rounds. I'm looking for a reliable magazine loader that can make the process easier.

Does anyone know of a good loader that fits this model and where I can buy one online? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Vasamthm: I see that nobody has responded to your request, and it is no wonder. I've checked for a magazine loader for your pistol, too, and cannot find one anywhere for you.

The only solution that I can think of for loading your magazines is to find someone with a 3D printer, and get them to try to make one for you. I know nothing about the different plastics that are used in these machines, or which kinds of plastic would stand up to use without breaking or wearing out prematurely. You would have to follow a path of exploration if you go this way.

Double column magazines do have stronger springs and the little 32 Autos aren't manipulated as easily as their bigger brethren.

It would seem to me that, with a number of semi auto pistols coming out in India, that someone could make a business of making magazine loaders for them, although I admit that I don't know the cost of the 3D printers or materials, much less have a good idea of how to market them. When I bought my Canik, the pistol came with a loader -- I wonder why other makers would not do the same?

For any who might not be aware of these devices, the simple ones are a hollow sleeve with a bit of overhang across one end. From this overhang, a rectangular post hangs down. One slides the sleeve over the top of the magazine, and the post pushes down on the back of the cartridge in the magazine, depressing it enough to allow the head of the next cartridge to be loaded underneath the magazine feed lips. Then the sleeve is lifted and the cartridge being loaded is pushed all the way to the back side of the magazine.

This may seem to some to be a small complaint, but believe me, for some pistols with double column magazines, it is nearly impossible to get the last few rounds loaded. Try it sometime!

Best of luck, Vasamthm, this is the best solution I could come up with.

I have seen it on a online store in India.. for rs 2500

3D printing is indeed the best and most cost effective solution for many accessories. Eg safety plugs, magazine parts, loaders. What is needed is a technical file eg .STL, which can be given to 3d printing service online. I have been able to print some accessories which are otherwise available at 20 times its price online. One may need to search online for the technical file and also make some decisions about material and filling percentage.

The same is true with Atal Gen2; I am able to load only 8 rounds comfortably.
