Questions & Answers
Place the mag loader over the magazine and press down to depress the spring inside the magazine, allowing you to insert ammunition. It simply presses down the mag spring to relieve your thumb of the task.
For a luger, I don't think this is feasible. The Luger magazine is significantly smaller than the Glock magazine.

Selected User Reviews For Glock Magazine Speed Loader for 9mm/.40/.357/.380 Auto/.45 GAP Mags
This Glock speed loader is more of a thumb saver than a true speed loader. Because of its small size, it is difficult to use, particularly for someone with large hands. Even with the loader pressed all the way down, it takes longer than handloading because you have to push the previous round down with the new round. Then, once the new round has passed the magazine's lips, carefully lift up the loader and push the round down all the way. Normally, this is included with a new Glock, but I purchased it because I've been renting Glocks at my local range. If you already have one, use it to keep your fingers from being pinched on the magazine's feed lips; if you don't have one or have lost or broken it, I'd recommend skipping this "speed loader" and instead investing in the UpLULA. After two range sessions with this glock loader, I decided to upgrade to the UpLULA, which is a true speed loader and (in my opinion) much easier to use. I only wish I hadn't purchased both this and the larger Glock loader.
This is not a user-friendly tool right out of the box. It isn't something that comes naturally. Having said that, after two-and-a-half years, I'm ready This thing is worth twice the price with three mag loads. I recently built a couple AR9s and have a handful of mags ranging from 17 to 22 calibers sitting around. The total number of rounds is 27. The 27-round magazines are particularly brittle. Those rifles, as much fun as they are to shoot, were torturing my thumbs by requiring constant reloading. Let me tell you, this tiny sliver of plastic makes a huge difference. As I previously stated, after two or three loads, you will find your stride and be able to rip through loading your mags. I wouldn't say it's much quicker than loading a broken-in magazine. Maybe 20- 30% increased increased increased in But the kicker is that it is about 75% easier to load a mag with this tool than it is to load a mag with this tool than it is to load a mag with% It relieves all of the pressure on your thumb and allows you to insert each round with ease. My only reservation is that the unit's pressure point is a relatively thin piece of plastic. I don't think it'll last more than a season or two, no matter how much we shoot. Having said that, I'm going to order some more just in case. They are, in my opinion, far too cheap.
As stated in the item description, the product sent is not a Glock OEM. SGM Tactical made it, and the plastic feels a little thinner. It appears to function properly, but who knows how long it will last in comparison to the Glock OEM.
I was under the impression that this was built to OEM specifications, but I was mistaken. It's made out of a very light plastic. I've used mag loaders from a variety of manufacturers to load a variety of magazines. I recently purchased a Kel Tec Sub2K in the color. 40 S& Glock mags are used in the W cal. When I tried to load a 10rd OEM Glock mag for the first time, the little plastic tab that pushes down the top rd in the mag folded back, splitting the top of the loader in the process. Later, I learned that the genuine OEM Glock mag loader has a metal tab on top, rather than the lighter plastic. I believe that would be a minimum requirement for other models intended for Glock mags with no restrictions on the number of rounds in the intended magazine; I didn't even try loading a 22rd or 29rd mag after the little guy gave up the ghost on the 10 rd; instead, I ordered the more expensive UpLula model, which I should have done in the first place. What you pay for is exactly what you get. This teeny-tiny guy could be useful in the sub-culture. If you're careful, you can use compact mags, but isn't speed what we're after when we use a "SpeedLoader"? Always be cautious out there!.
Because of the low price, I was concerned about the quality; however, my fears were unfounded. br>Since buying it, I've used it to load two different magazines (OEM Glock and Magpul) with two different types of 9mm rounds (both steel jacket and brass). I had no problems with this at all. I've loaded easily 500 rounds through this into my various mags over the course of two different loading sessions and one trip to the range, and it's worked flawlessly so far. For any Glock owner, I strongly suggest this speed loaded.
It isn't as good as some of the more expensive loaders that cost three to four times as much. The high-priced mags are the way to go if you're going to be loading hundreds of rounds into multiple magazines. However, if you're like me and only plan to shoot at the range for 300 rounds or less, this loader will suffice. To become completely proficient with this loader, you'll need some practice. However, once you've loaded a few magazines, you'll be a pro. Furthermore, the low cost allows you to keep one in your range bag and have others that you can use with specific weapons.
One star. The concept is sound, but the execution is lacking. The goal is to make it easier to load difficult-to-load magazines. br>br> I have no problem loading the simple stuff, such as high capacity, stiff springs, and so on. However, the little prong that pushes down on the bullet is already bending after topping off the last two rounds of two magazines. It has the lengthwise shape of a steel "I" beam, which means the little prong has no thickness. It would be preferable to use a solid square of plastic. or, God forbid, steel with some kind of protective coating. br>br>Having said that, I was able to top of the mags more easily than I could with my thumb, but I don't expect this to last very long.
This is a Glock auto pistol speed loader, but I read somewhere that it would work on my Smith & Wesson. In addition, Wesson. I was able to load the first few rounds of 40S with my fingers, but not all 14. This tiny, low-cost device is fantastic! I'd rather spend my time shooting, and this makes reloading MUCH faster! Place over the magazine and push downward, slide round into the magazine, raise the speed loader, and push the round to the back of the magazine. Other magazine loaders may be more expensive, but for me, this one is fast enough!.
