MakerShot Magazine Speed Loaders, Designed Specifically for Each Selected Magazine

Review of MakerShot Magazine Speed Loaders, Designed Specifically for Each Selected MagazineThis is a simple magazine speed loader. There’s nothing to really break or go bad unless the small plastic piece that pushes the rounds down would break. This works well with my Sig Sauer double stack for my 229 in .40 caliber. I have not tried it with my duty weapon, the Glock 22 Gen 5 .40 caliber yet. As with most magazines, it’s the last few rounds that are the hardest to load by hand. This is no exception as far as resistance is concerned. This just makes the entire loading process so much easier on your fingers. I found that it was necessary to put my magazine on a hard surface while loading the last 3 or 4 rounds, but it was easier to do the whole magazine that way too. Pressing against body armor while using this loader would likely work too. It just takes a little practice to get into the rhythm.

This thing works really well with my PSA Rock 5.7x28. At first I didn't think it worked very well but the trick is as per the YouTube video, to have the loader in the somewhat "up" position, feed the bullet/cartridge in and then press down on the loader. Works perfectly. If you depress the magazine follower first the cartridges will slide in all the way. He's to be a good value and I only just got it but it seems to be working just fine and I believe it is reasonably priced.

Simple to use and works to load rounds.

Use it regularly to load stiff mags for the Sig 356. Easy to use and has held up well. The mags are very stiff

I had purchased and returned another easy-loader for my M&P Shield Plus because there was a lot of play. This one fits snugly on the 10 and 13 round mags and works great.

I bought this loader because the one I got with my pistol was a very generic fit, and was very difficult to use. The pistol is an older Sig P938 9mm single action. It looks like a shrunk down 1911, shoots reliably with no problems.The loader had some minor fitting problems. There was too much room front to back that I shimmed with a thin strip of cardboard that worked well, and the reduced movement helped loading. The width was perfect.The problems are not so much a fault in the loader design or material, but are with the Sig magazine Itself. One issue with the magazine is the tension in the magazine spring is very stiff. Also the lips of the magazine that hold the top cartridge only hold about 1/3 of the bullet case. The cartridges are easily knocked out when touched. All that said, the pistol loads and reloads 100%, so Sig designed it very well. However it is difficult to load.Once the movement in the loader was reduced it worked pretty well, considering what it had to work with. If you are not familiar with how the loader works, the loader slips over the magazine and a little plastic piece pushes the top cartridge down, making room for another cartridge into the magazine. The short magazine lips have trouble holding the new cartridge until it can be pushed further into the magazine. Fiddly, but it works.If I were to change anything in the loader design it would be to make the pusher piece thinner, and maybe move it back 1/16 of an inch. The loader is inexpensive and sturdy, and I will use it as long as I have the Sig.I thought enough of the quality and material that I ordered a magazine holder to protect my magazine. Good company, good products.

This little piece of plastic makes loading mags much easier. While I wouldn't say it's much faster than just inserting the ammo without it, it definitely makes it easier, especially on the fingers, as it keeps the loaded ammo pushed down into the clip enough to slide bullets in on top. Well worth the money... Mine is for a Ruger Max-9.

Save your fingers some trouble, especially on those new magazines. This is a easy to use fast product. No complaints other that maybe identification issues if you have more than one size.
