Don's handle is great for the MEC. It changed my whole outlook on it, as it makes the task much, much easier. The handle is lower then the the standard one, which gives me more leverage, but more importantly you can set it offset to the right (or left), and angled at a natural position. It is so much more comfortable to load that I was amazed how much better it could be with a new handle. Do youself a big favor and order one if you reload on a 9000.
