Abstract
A reloader for a cartridge clip that allows the reloader and clip, when assembled for reloading purposes, to be held and operated in one of a user'"'"'s hands while cartridges are reloaded in the clip with the other of the user'"'"'s hands. The reloader includes a sleeve adapted to receive the clip in seated relation during reloading, and a handle connected to the sleeve against which the clip lies when the clip is in operational relation with the reloader, thereby allowing the clip and reloader to be held in operational assembly with one of the user'"'"'s hands. The reloader also includes a plunger that is manually reciprocable to depress a top cartridge already seated in the cartridge clip to accommodate receiving another cartridge as a successor top cartridge in the cartridge clip. An operator arm connected with the plunger is manually operable by the user'"'"'s thumb on that same one of the user'"'"'s hands that holds the cartridge and clip in operational assembly, thereby leaving the other of the user'"'"'s hands free to reload cartridges in the cartridge clip.
