Galati Explains How to Properly Load Stripper Clips
Called a stripper clip because cartridges are stripped off a clip when a magazine is loaded, stripper clips are a type of speedloader that holds cartridges together for easier loading of a firearm's magazine. Depending on the magazine, stripper clips come in a variety of shapes and sizes with most being straight or crescent-shaped,
Instructions on how to properly use a stripper clip:
Before you start -
Three basic items are needed to load a magazine with a stripper clip. You will need the magazine you want loaded, a stripper clip guide, and a loaded stripper clip.
1. First, you need to place the stripper clip guide on the top rear of the magazine. This will be used as guide to load the cartridges into the magazine.
2. Once the guide is hooked onto the magazine, place a loaded stripper clip into the clip guide.
3. Once secure, now grip the mag tightly and push the cartridges into the magazine. The cartridges should slide down the stripper clip and into the magazine. The small retaining tab on the stripper clip should bend and allow the cartridges to feed easily into the magazine.
4. Keep pushing until all the cartridges hace fed into the magazine. Repeat the procedures above with a set of new loaded stripper clips until the magazine is loaded.
