So, can I take it it doesn't have the f-ugly sticky out coathanger or bit of metal rod sticking out of the handle then?.

It is one of these?

I saw someone shooting one of those at 600 on Century earlier this year...I remember it, as I've never seen someone take the back off a gun with pliers before to load it...

He was doing it wrong then...

It's a simple rotary breech, just rotate it a quarter turn, let the old cartridge fall out, pop in a new one, rotate a quarter turn the other way, then aim and pull the trigger.

No pliers required...
