A cartridge clip having a mechanism which permits the compression force of the clip's spring to be relieved when reloading the clip. The mechanism, in preferred form, includes a door frame connected to the magazine's closed end, an access door mounted to that door frame which is movable between open and closed positions, and a spring seat within which the compression spring is received. The spring seat is telescoped interiorly of the magazine when the access door is closed to provide the requisite compression spring force for ejection of cartridges from the magazine's ejection end. The spring seat is telescoped exteriorly of the magazine to a predetermined outside position when the door is opened so as to relieve that spring force for permitting additional cartridges to be loaded into the magazine's ejection end.
