MakerShot Custom Magazine Speedloader (Select Your Magazine)

FIVE STARS I bought the Taurus PT111 Millennium G2 9mm and I love the handgun. But the magazines are hard for me to load by hand. I looked online and found this speedloader and decided that for $12.99 (shipping and all) I could hardly go wrong.It was very easy to use. I have two magazines and can load both in less than 1.5 minutes. No more sore fingers for me.Great product! I love it!!I've included a short video. The sound isn't so great, but it gets the point across.

I have rheumatoid arthritis in my hands and this makes loading the magazines so much easier. I can use in one hand and push down with the thumb. It also works good to set the magazine upright on a flat surface with this on the top and then push down. With my limited hand strength, I can only load one or two rounds with just my hands. I shot over 140 rounds yesterday with two magazines and loaded them all myself.Granted, if I was having a flare-up with my RA, I don't think I could use this... But I'm also not able to put socks on when that happens. Using this device did not trigger a flare-up, so I would definitely recommend this to anyone to try.

I happened to get a universal one for my birthday and the so called “custom” one for Father’s Day and there is NO DIFFERENCE except the $3 extra for the one you choose a specific magazine. It works but 1 star for deception.

If your hand size is that of a small child, and you have the strength of King Kong, it might work for you- but I wouldn't bet on it. Worst design, and execution, of a good idea. They should have paid royalties to Glock, for the loaders included with their weapon's purchases. It was marginally acceptable, but today, The Best, is the UpLULA. Period. These are absolutely worthless... Returning it, with hopes nobody else get's snookered...I fiddle around with the full size UpLULA, and have no problems. If there were an AMAZON WORST, this would be a very sincere candidate...Zero of Five Stars. Do not recommend in any way, shape, or form...

The Makershot custom speedloader for the Shield 9mm is simple, light, compact, and will easily fit in a shirt or pants pocket. It has no moving parts. It fits both 7 and 8 round mags. It slides over a mag and allows the user to depress the follower and slip a round into the mag just enough to catch the mag's feed lips. With the round partly inserted into the mag the user then slightly lifts the speed loader and finishes inserting the round. This action is repeated until the mag is full. Like most things, it gets easier with practice.So why only three stars? Two problems.... With work arounds.When loading the first round into the mag the speed loader has the tendency to cause the follower to rotate and jam inside the mag. The reason for this is the speedloader just catches the edge of follower and encourages it to rotate instead of depress. This problem can be avoided by manually inserting the first round.The second problem is when slightly raising the speed loader to finish inserting the round into the mag the round can occasionally pop out of the mag with some force. This can be avoided by using a finger to keep some pressure on the round. I also suspect the instances of this occurring will reduce with practice.So in summary, it is better than no speed loader, but not as easily to use as the slightly more complex and more expensive Maglula UPLULA. I plan to keep my MAKERSHOT speedloader in my range bag as a backup.

I was not sure about buying one at first but it saves time each time you go to the range. It works great for my Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 9mm! Pleased with this purchase! Get more shots fired in less time than loading it yourself.

This makes loading your Smith & Wesson 40 Shield a breeze. Just put the magazine through it, and push down. The hard plastic tab inside will push the round on top down as far as you need it to be, then put another round in, pull up, and repeat. It will save your fingers from pushing down on the round to place another in, and you can load a magazine in about 10% of the time it would take with just your hands. I would recommend this speedy finger saver to anyone.

Buy one of these today and save your thumb! It makes loading seven rounds into a Ruger LC9s magazine a snap. I like it because it can be used in the field, without a hard surface to push against. There is a very slight learning process to push down and then up in order to properly load but I had it going quickly. This will greatly enhance your shooting experience. Spend time firing rather than loading. These things are great.
