The present invention provides a firearm bullet button magazine release tool assembly with a tool tip and a stabilizing base. The tool tip is configured to activate a firearm magazine release assembly thereby releasing a detachable magazine. The stabilizing base increases stability, and secures the tool tip to the magazine body. The magazine release assembly also includes a threaded rod to provide mechanical stiffness to the tool tip, and is coupled to a magazine body or a magazine attachment. The tool tip can be rounded and tapered to aid insertion into and withdrawal from the magazine release assembly of the firearm. The magazine release assembly can also include a buffer to provide flexibility for absorbing impact forces without permanent damage. |

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. |
