I really like these, quick and easy with out hammering your thumb. Build quality is very good and works as advertised.

I recently started using the MakerShot Magazine Speed Loaders, and they have significantly improved my experience at the range. Here are some key points that stood out to me:Custom Fit: These speed loaders are designed specifically for each selected magazine, ensuring a perfect fit. This customization makes loading magazines much smoother and faster compared to universal loaders1.Ease of Use: The design allows for quick and easy loading without straining your fingers. The ergonomic shape fits comfortably in your hand, making the process of loading rounds into the magazine effortless2. This is especially beneficial during extended shooting sessions when repetitive loading can become tiresome.Durability: Made from high-quality polymer, these speed loaders are built to last. They are sturdy and can withstand regular use without any signs of wear and tear2. The compact design also makes them easy to carry in your range bag or pocket.Performance: The speed loaders work flawlessly with a variety of calibers and magazine types. Whether you’re using a 9mm, .40 S&W, or .45 ACP, the MakerShot loaders handle them all with ease1. The precise fit ensures that each round is loaded smoothly, reducing the risk of jams or misfeeds.Value for Money: Priced reasonably, these speed loaders offer excellent value. They save time and effort, allowing you to spend more time shooting and less time loading2. The investment is well worth it for the convenience and efficiency they provide.Overall, the MakerShot Magazine Speed Loaders are a must-have for any shooter looking to enhance their range experience. Their custom fit, ease of use, and durability make them a top choice for both novice and experienced shooters.

The product works, but a pinch trickier than you'd expect. It sure beats using your fingers and I don't know if you can really improve upon the issue of having the loader block the round you're loading, besides having two different tabs so you can release the back tab as a front tab pushes down and back to finish the job. The loader can even shoot a round out of the magazine. (The reviews claiming it doesn't fit obviously received the wrong product. If it doesn't fit your magazine, return it.)But having a double press would raise the price quite a bit, perhaps more than double. I know prices have gotten out of control in the year 2024, but $17 for a single piece of plastic seems too much. It feels like great quality plastic, but still. I'd still rather buy this than those 3D printed knock offs.Lastly, I think it could use a different form so you can grip it easier. If you have your pointer and middle fingers on each side of the magazine mouth and your thumb/palm on the base plate, it can be used without pressing down onto a table, or you can thumb under the magazine and press from the top with your fingers. Or you can palm the base plate and pull down the top with your finger and thumb. But no matter how you hold it, the surfaces just don't seem adequate to matching the hand, just slippery smooth surfaces with no dedicated finger grips. The ledges could at least be wider.Maybe I'm nit picking a little too much, but I just expected a bit better user experience with this product. It's almost right, but not quite there yet. I just want the shape of the device to take a different form really. I don't care if it's a little tricky to use in operation. I just think it should be better to grip and maybe a few dollars less.

I don't know what the other reviewers are banging on about, this things great. Excellent price and works exactly as it should. Build quality is good, too. I bought a different one from a different vendor for my Bodyguard and although it works-- it feels like something a guy made from his 3d printer. Not this one. Get it!

Works well, makes loading easier

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.
