Using your boot to load a semi-automatic pistol is easily done. You take the pistol in the hand that is uninjured , catch the front of the rear sight on the edge of the boots heel, push the pistol forward briskly. The slide will retract and strip a live round, be very careful to keep your finger out of the trigger-guard. This can also be done with a nice ridged belt. Using the belt method is pretty dangerous and great care must be taken to use it safely. There are many ways to charge a semi-automatic pistol. Using the rear sight on any right angle that has sufficient strength to grab the edge of the rear sight will due in an emergency.
Note: Your pistol needs to have a rear sight that is at a right angle to the slide. The front of the sight only needs to have a fraction of an inch of vertical face to catch. Some pistol sights are contoured for CCW and may not be able to do this.
If there is a will, there is a way.
