    A couple of comments that may help you.
    - Try pushing the mag button with your right hand thumb, not your left hand. Roll the gun in your palm so you can reach it. While you are hitting the button your other hand is already getting or has the next mag.
    - Bring the gun up closer to your face, right in front of you (So you can see what you are doing), tilt the pistol on its side you can see the mag well.
    - Hold the mag so your left hand index finger is resting just below the first couple of rounds (Think how you point at things) and use your palm of your left hand to push the mag home once the mag is started in the mag well.

    Good luck.

    Thanks that's very good advise.

    Every little bit helps.

    I'll practice that this week.

    I'm in Hamilton on Wednesday and hope to continue the practise on a range there.

    Cheers
