ETS Speed Loader for Glock XD XDM and 1911 Magazines .45 ACP

Works pretty good makes for quick reloads at the range

Edited: Talked to an Amazon rep and got a refund less the restocking fee. Ordered a new one hoping this one would work because I just can’t find this exact product anywhere else. This one WORKS!!! It works EXACTLY like it’s designed to work! I think the one we got before was probably the first or last of that batch when it was made. Happy I reordered!! This did not work as advertised. From the start ammunition gets stuck, jams and stops the process. Will not be buying this again. Total waste of money. I’d really like my $ back but it says the return window has closed.

At first it didn't work very well. After maybe 10 tries it started to work better. Not sure if it needed some lube or if it needs to be broken in a bit, but it works well now. The biggest downside is that its very easy to pinch yourself with it. You really have to give it downforce to get them to go in the mag, and if any piece of skin is slightly in the way you're gonna get pinched. I wanted a made in usa speed loader for 45 into mags and this is the only one afaik. Been using it for 1911 and glock mags.

This is the most difficult loader I have tried so far. Tried to load 8 rounds .45acp into a single stack mag and it just got stuck. Only one round made it into the mag. I had to pull the mag out and remove most of the rounds by hand. One round was jammed at the bottom of the ramp and I had to push it out with a stick. My Maglula loader Is much easier to use and plenty fast enough. And you don't have to load oily rounds with it.

Faster and saves fingers

Got one of these to use with Glock 21SF (same as 21 Gen4) mags with 45 ACP. These are the 10 round mags for CA, not sure if that makes a difference. It does load quicker that 1 round at a time, and the uplula. But at times you can waste a lot of time to force the last rounds in, where the uplula has no issue loading the 10 rounds. I lubed it as per the videos and instructions that came with it. Actually have lubed it a few times now. When loading Winchester USA Ready (FMJFN) or Blazer brass ti does require quite w bit of force to get the last 3-4 rounds in. The first 5 or so goes in smoothly, butane gets pretty tough and requires quite a bit of force. Using the S&B ammo seems to go a bit easier and much less force required. Either way nothing like the videos (which is probably 9mm). It did get a little easier after 10 mags, but still requires me to put it on a bench and push pretty hard. Will see if it holds up. So beware if you have 45 ACP it may require a bit of muscle, even after lubing. And no, I do exercise and definitely not a weakling.

Seems decent quality. It was a gift.

The one thing to remember is these loaders need to be broken in. Start by loading 2 or 3 cartridges at a time until loading is a smooth process. After loading 4 magazines, loading 5 cartridges at a time was easy. I have a 9mm loader as well and both are easy and quick loaders.
