4 Pistol Magazine Speed Loaders [9mm+]: MagLula, ETS, Caldwell, MagPump

- If you hate loading magazines by hand as much as we do, stick around, because today we're taking a look at the fastest pistol mag loading tools on the market. (electronic feedback) (jazz music) What is up guys, my name is John with pewpewtactical.com your definitive source for gun reviews, gear guides, and all things that go bang. Chances are if you spend any amount of time firing your guns in real life instead of arguing about them on the internet, you've developed a healthy distaste for the hassle of loading each round by hand. There are a ton of tools that seek to mitigate this, but which are worth their weight in brass and which are flimsy gimmicks? Now we love mag-loading tools because they save our dainty thumbs from wear and tear over a full day of reloading, but we do know that some of you out there with some Megan Fox tier toe thumbs don't have that problem. If that sounds like you go ahead and leave us a message using only your nasty toe thumbs in the comment section below. Up first is the Uplula by Mag Lula, arguably the most prevalent speed loader on the market. The Uplula is easy to use and portable allowing you to drop rounds straight into your mag with the follower depressed. It's worth noting that their mascot is some kind of gross human thumb thing that we personally find very upsetting so they do lose a few points for making us look at it. It also includes an unloading nub on the back to help strip rounds back out of the magazine if necessary. It's also worth noting that this is our second Mag Lula after the first one died after a respectable 20, 000 rounds or so. Up next is the ETS Group CAM speed loader. The ETS CAM allows you to, in theory, load all 10 rounds into your mag at a time, though in practice, it's a little bit more difficult than it looks. Once you've inserted your mag and skimmed you ammo box, take the T-handled ram rod thing and line it up with the tools feed ram. (clicking) We found that a mildly-painful Seppuku method of balancing the baseplate of the mag on your sternum appears to be the most effective way to load all 10 rounds. Up next we've got a Caldwell Mag Charger. (ball thumps on table) The Mag Charger is a bit strange and unintuitive to use but does the job once you've got it figured out. Select the side wall scrolly thing that corresponds to your magazine type. Insert your mag, and adjust tension to keep it in place. Insert your rounds one by one, and use the staple-gun-like lever to press them into the mag. We imagine the Mag Charger's enhanced leverage might make loading mags a bit easier if you've got arthritis and aren't using a 1911. (clicking) (magazine bangs on table) Lastly, we were excited to try this fancy MagPump from MagPump, but we heard a loud crack as soon as we attempted to use it, and it now appears to be permanently dead. This is unfortunate as we've heard good things about their 556 model, but this 9 mm variant doesn't appear to be up to snuff. We're mostly sure this wasn't operator error either, but if we're able to get our hands on a functional model we'll update the article. Alright guys, that's gonna do it for us today. Thank you so much for watching. If you enjoyed this content, please go ahead and subscribe to the channel as we've got lots more reviews on the way. Once again, my name is John with Pew Pew Tactical, and we will see you next time. (electronic feedback) (jazz music)
