I've got the 20mm bands on my Gabbiano 90 - my God they are hard to load!!! I would not recommend buying them for your gun.
Not being big headed but I'm very strong - I seriously found them almost impossible to load last time I was out - I'd guess they would be beyond a normal guy's strength.
Fortunatley a mate lent me some 16mm ones which were really easy - I'm going to be swapping my 20mm bands for 16mm ones!!!
The pulling from the hip method works, it just that the gun twists a bit under the pressure meaning that I have trouble fitting the metal wishbone in neatly - it would be a lot easier if I had dyneema wish bones.
