Loader removed. Might be more fun that way, since according to all (and by that I mean both) reviews I found the 18 round mags are damn near impossible to load past 10 without it. The reasoning behind the GSh was that 9x19 is usually more common than 9x18, but if it's a problem timeline-wise I can swap it out. And in case Skwint is a no-show, I think I know a guy who'd be interested.
