Abstract: A firearm magazine that is designed to make the loading of cartridges easier and faster, while being constructed of fewer parts for higher reliability and with no protruding elements that preclude its use in pre-existing firearms. In one embodiment, a box-type magazine is provided with an internal spring and a follower. The body of the magazine and the follower are specially constructed to facilitate manual loading. The body of the magazine incorporates a slot extending along the path of the follower. The follower is fabricated with a concave opening on a lateral surface that can be manually accessed through the slot in the magazine body, thereby allowing a user to depress the follower against the pressure of the internal spring using a finger or thumb while the cartridges are easily loaded at the top of the magazine body.
