Pellet Pens

[Sleestak]

There's almost nothing to read about them but are they an alternative to reading glasses & an assist to those of us handicapped w thungers for digits? I'm struggling here.

They look like kind of a PITA to load, but magazines aren't always the most convenient things to load either. 177s are especially difficult & dropping them gets old pronto

Pellet pens are a simple contraption & easy to load but ONLY come in .177 & .22 caliber. A hemostat or two are good tools for small parts & fat fingers. Cheap on Amazon.

I thought pellet pens were for loading break barrel springers/gas-rams, when out hunting,,, quick and easy to load, vs using a pellet pouch or digging in pocket for loose pellets
"Beeman P17 Pen Mod" is an example

You're right but they can be used to load magazines too if one has trouble handling small .177 pellets.

didn't work for me... i use a flexible straw and blow them into place.... just kidding... but the pellet pens didn't work for me because of the angle needed to load the breech.

These are great in the winter time or dealing with gloves for .177's. They hold the pellet in place so it can be manipulated into the breech. I have one in my range bag at all times.

Plus you have to load the pellet pen first and that may be just as difficult as loading the mag or breech with fingers.

A fellow member very generously sent me a Air Venturi pellet pen. Thanks Rondo! You da man.

I'm working on my technique & this product, like sliced bread, holds a lot of promise IMHO.

My exhaustive write-up is to follow. I'm sure you're all dying to know of my conclusion. Be patient

I hope it works well for you.
I just got a couple of these for the HW45.
Clearly 3D printed. I’ll give em a try soon and see if they need some polishing.

 

[Mr.Brocock]

I like your tool Rondo. Do you have the file?
If not, i will by Monday afternoon.....

I have no use of my fingers. I use a straw for loading magazines. Scope a pellet from the tin with the straw and put it in the mag hole.
