But I can understand Wade's wife wanting to be strong and completely independent in operating her new pistol. Good for her! It's been three days now and I'm STILL as happy as can be for Wade!

Of course, some would say she "Married" her magazine loader! Dan Last edited by Dan_Chamberlain; 08/17/11.

But, you have never met my wife. She is the weakest thing on the planet! She can't open jars, bottles of pop, or even ketchup. She can't load more than 5 rounds into a magazine. It's just life. So, rather than tell her to toughen up and make her feel bad, I am getting her a loader. I don't mind loading for her, but she wants to be able to do it herself, "like a big girl!" An upLula is in her future... Wade "Let's Roll!" - Todd Beamer 9/11/01.

As long as I can get her out shooting I'm fine with helping her with her magazines. She's good with the 10/22. Give me an update regarding the upLula .... we'll see if I can't dig up the scratch for one. George Associate Gypsy Order of Sleepless Knights Originally Posted by GOD ...
