Disclosed is a handheld firearm chambering device suitable for use with semi-automatic handguns and the like having a movable slide. The device comprises an elongated sleeve member having an open interior supporting a center guide element therein. The center guide element is coaxially disposed within the sleeve and comprises a base portion and an extended muzzle plunger portion, wherein the plunger portion preferably extends beyond the working end of the sleeve. The device is held within the non-dominate hand of the user and utilized to press the slide rearward along the barrel without using a grip-and-squeeze method. The working end of the sleeve bears against the end of the slide as the center guide element is accepted through the muzzle end of the firearm. A pressing motion moves the slide and chambers a round, where minimal grip strength is required to accomplish this task. |
