For those PMR/CMR-30 owners with sore thumbs, LULA has unveiled one if its signature loader/unloaders to fit the magazine. Simply click the magazine into the bottom of the ambidextrous unit, press the forward Pusher lever and place a .22 WMR round, rim-first, rearward into the upper opening. Use the top-mounted Plunger to settle the round into place and repeat the process until full. Load one magazine too many? Hold the mechanism with the thumb on top of the loader, and repeatedly use the small rear hook to push rounds free.
