Why Additional Loading Leverage Helps
Seating round balls or projectiles in a black powder revolver can require substantial hand pressure, especially when loading repeatedly. Short factory loading levers provide limited leverage and can concentrate uncomfortable pressure in the center of the palm.
The SliX-Hand extends the effective length of the loading lever, allowing the same loading force to be applied with less hand effort. Its larger gripping surface also spreads pressure across a wider area of the palm for improved comfort and control.
Recommended Use
-
Follow the firearm manufacturer’s loading and safety instructions.
-
Confirm that the loading lever is fully lowered and accessible.
-
Slide the SliX-Hand completely over the loading lever rib.
-
Confirm that the extension fits securely without excessive movement.
-
Apply slow, steady pressure while seating the projectile.
-
Remove the SliX-Hand before returning the loading lever to its stored position.
Do not force the SliX-Hand onto an oversized or incompatible loading lever. Minor fitting may be necessary on some firearms because loading lever dimensions can vary.
