I like all of Glock Store's videos. I like Lenny. He's old-school cool. Still, nevermind comparing mag loaders, or this mag loader, or other mag loader. Why does anyone buy ANY mag loader?! I just honestly don't see the point. To me, part of the fun of a trip to the shooting range IS loading mags! I literally love spending the night before a range trip, watching a good movie, and thumbing individual cartridges into a pile of magazines. It's like family time for gun people.
cbc82 I did that one time and the range I went to said I couldn't bring loaded magazines into the range so I had to empty all 10 magazines. So that was the last time I went there.
cbc82 it depends on how much you shoot, i always take 30 ar 15 mags and 10 33 round glock mags when i go shooting so its alot of reloading so something like this helps out alot
Bought a couple the other day one for a 9mm/40 Cal double stack. That one worked like the one in the video. The other loader was for my Sig Sauer single stack P220.45 acp. I followed the instructions word by word. I was able to load the first and second magazines with great difficulty, more difficult than the guy in this video. The third magazine I was only able to load three bullets and gave up since not only were the bullets jamming going down the slide with the plunger, once they got to the feeder where they are supposed to load into the magazine they would jam and not feed into the magazine. I went on their site and addressed the.problem to whom ever is in charge of their web site. I'm still waiting for an answer. I've watched various videos before buying and they made it look so easy. So if not only did this thing not work right but I'm hoping that it didn't mess up my mags which are brand spanking new. My advice now is buy the maglula.
I had one of these that lasted about 300 rounds. There’s an angle inside where the heel of the cartridge slides at an angle. It’s made of plastic so after awhile it gets scared up and the cartridges will not slide any more. So it’s in the trash now. The angle needs to have a metal insert to make it last.
Later this year I started shooting PCC in USPSA. PCC allows very large capacity magazines. A real pain to load. I had the UpLula loader and it works fine. I just received the ETS loader this week. Much faster. Oil it like the instructions suggest reduces the effort needed to load a mag.
Matt - from what I understand it has two ramps in the body. The first positions the round like you would by hand. The second provides the down and in motion from your ammo hand. Because of the distances it clears the lips. It’s also why those areas need to be lubed so that the ammo smoothly passes through the alignment and, ultimately, the loading. I’d still like to see some videos from people using this kind of reloader with 6 months of use on. See if it does do damage to the mags or not.
moxbroker Right! I want to see that as well and thought the same thing Matt above mentioned. Funny I just got the maglula thinking it was the best and fastest loader just recently, but not sure now....
@@hardcore4476 it’s designed to not mess up your feed lips, unless you smack the magazine in hard. Check the yt vids from the manufacturer. Also, I think the majority of bad reviews are people using it wrong. But like moxbroker said, just some silicone spray will help make it smoother
@@sabregunner1 Yeah not so smart people tend to do that with excellent invention quite a bit.. Do you have one and how’s it holding up after time? Considering getting one!! Love the Maglula one!
@@hardcore4476 i do have one. its been holding up, but havent been able to use it lately as i havent gotten to the range. I take the maglula with me as well, as a secondary loader
For some reason, I can’t get the last couple of rounds in with this loader. I bought a Speed Beez loader for my double stacked magazines. Worked great! So satisfied that I ordered a Speed Beez for my Shield Arms S15 magazines.
The reason it is so hard for you to push is because you must add oil first, and the bullets MUST be facing upward. Put the base on your chest, face the bullet points upward, then pull. It is super easy and requires very little effort
I actually used to enjoy loading magazines by hand, it's the tactile feeling of putting in each round. However, now in my 50s my thumb gets very stiff and sore especially with glock magazines. This looks like a great gadget, I'll have to try.
Hi Lenny: The loader looked great in all the videos I saw so I orderd one from Amazon ($14.00). That's right. $14.00. It came and I could not even get one round to load. The unit was warped at the opening and would not let the first .40 cal round load in my Glock 22 mag. So assuming it was defective, I sent it back and Amazon replaced it. The second one arrived with the same issues as the first one. So I again sent it back and requested a refund. I truly feel that Amazon was sent culls that the factory knew were bad. I'll stick with my Lula. What's the hurry to reload anyway.
I don't believe "warped." It's rigid polymer. Did you have the mag oriented in the right direction? You sure you pushed the mag all the way in until you heard a snap? Did you apply a couple drops of oil first? Are you certain it was an ETS C.A.M. Loader, or just the cheapest one that looked like an ETS ? Amazon sells a lot of Chinese knock-off stuff, and $14 is half price. Did you order the right model for your pistol?
I ordered one right from ETS and 95% of the time, nothing loads, no matter how much pressure I put on it... something jams up and then when I pull the mag out, 3 loose rounds come spilling out; and yes, the mag is all the way in and in the right direction. To me, it's not worth it.
Is there a more in depth video about this? From what I just saw I'm not to sure about this loader. Maybe for more open mouth mags but it looks to me like it might damage the mouth of the mag? Never the less it is interesting
mine came in i tell you trying using it first time its hard you have to sure practice it takes some time to get used to it but when i did it was easy to load my gun.
The first 10 or so round were great but when it came the rest it wouldn't load all it would do is push the projectile into the shell I thought it might be the type of shells or projectile but not that didn't matter and the other thing is if you don't have a table or something to push down on the magazine comes out of the loader. I thought maybe it just needed to be used for a little while nope that didn't help so all I have to show for thing fine piece of craftsmanship (not) is some messed up rounds and some pinched fingers. And now I'm stuck with it because the business I purchased it from has a no return policy, I found that out after purchase.
It would be much more easier if you had lubed it before hand, and you should keep the bullets standing up with the primer at the bottom they go in much more easily, also you should never ram it in you will damage the inside of the fast loader.
Do not waste your $. For double stack, it takes a gorilla to load the last 5 rounds, and dings brass. Uplula may take a second longer but they work well.
at least this video is more realistic on the pressure needed to push them in the mag. I got a 9mm and a 45 loader and they are both crap. They both broke at the angle slide inside. These should be made out of aluminum.
good demo but I won't try one, I buy a lot of bulk ammo would have to load it in tray first , and looks like it takes too much effort to push the plunger, probably going to damage mag lips if used frequently
Order your Magazines from Florida, I live in California and I am still able to order magazines over 10 rounds from other sites ,I just bout a 30 round Magazine what is the point of passing these STUPID regulations all they do is make it harder for the good guys to obtain a better fighting chance.
@snoopy dubnation Look for sites that ship from Florida they dont give 2 fucks about sending wrongly prohibited magazines to any U.S State , Reason why is because of the GUN Sanction law in Florida if an investigation is launched they cant be touched I'm the only one who can take the heat. I'm not worried because I'm real good at hiding things if I need to.
It's not a little bit tight, but it's super tight if you are old and have wrist or thumb arthritis; it's very difficult to disengage the magazine. And I OILED THE RECEIVER VERY GOOD, NOT MUCH HELP.
Bought one. Tried it on Glock 22 15 round mag. Oiled the rail, the well and even a light coat on the mag itself. Never was able to get 10 at a time to work. Eventually tried one at a time to loosen it up. Then two at a time. Seemed better, but tying three jammed a round in the well each time. Also just doing one round when mag reached 11 rounds would also jam it in the well. Not satisfied at all. Maybe it is just me or bad luck, but your experience may be better. Thumbs down on this loader.
I see you charge $50 for this unit in your web store. It's available for $20 pretty much everywhere else. WTG, I guess, if you can get that kind of markup, but you won't get it from me.
He is not using this correctly. It is really really much easier but needs to be done properly. Lenny you’re the man but not on this one! If you watch the manufacturers video (or some other reviews) you need to oil that thing some and then have the bullets facing up, not forward. Watch the Warrior Poet Society video on this.
it is no way faster then a Lula and it is boring horrible, if a pro like you has that much effort, then why would you recommend it, using a lula is 100 times easier and just as fast if not faster, sorry.
Well being he is doing it wrong could be the problem as to why he is having so many issues. The directions are right on the back of the package and it's noting like it's being performed here. Is it great no it's not great but it does work and with a bit less effort then shown here if done as the manufacture recommends.
Maybe so, but, I got a Lula, and know what, never using one, it took less then a min to get so use to it, I could load 16 rounds in under 10 seconds with out any work or effort, so, if the pro above was still doing it wrong, think I will stick with the lula, besides the whole slam with the palm of hand or on something, sorry, lula is cake.
Lenny needs his own PBS show. It can follow Motor Trend on Saturdays and repeat after This Old House on Sundays
The Yankee Gunshop
The best mag loader I ever seen! I'm about to order 1 now! Thanks for this review.
I find it helpful priming the angle loader from the ETS speed loader with oil making the bullets slip easier

Take a pistol class where you are shooting 750+ rounds in 2 days, and you'll understand why people buy magazine loaders.
When you want to spend more time shooting than loading. That's why.

This ETS loader is a great tool. It takes less effort if you dab some gun oil to the rails and bottom of the feeder .

Ok so i'm a newbe here. Where do I get a bullet holder like what I'm seeing in these videos?
Or should I say bullet tray.
Buy it online. Search for the name
@@mayno8922 a year late but for anyone else wondering, that’s how they come in the box of ammo.
nah i'll still stick with lu la, i feel pain for my mags just watching the push down lol
Don't forget to add a drop or two of oil as described in the manufacturers(ETS) video. It makes the process nearly effortless.
I actually used to enjoy loading magazines by hand, it's the tactile feeling of putting in each round. However, now in my 50s my thumb gets very stiff and sore especially with glock magazines. This looks like a great gadget, I'll have to try.
You have a great radio voice!
Yeah, but I've got the perfect face for radio.
best loader ever, you can not have a 9mm or 40 cal without owning this gadget, absolute must,
If you have 20 mags this tool would make sense to use b4 range day. Maglula not as fast but way more practical for 3/5 mags.
@Hard Core and others...Wouldn't lubricant migration into the cartridges be a problem for anything but very short term storage of a loaded magazine?

high capacity magazine license.. california is a joke
Not in Texas
Move to NC. no capacity limits
@@whiteshadow1771 i dnt have no limit where i live thank god
This loader would be nice for my 33 round magazine.
Is there a more in depth video about this? From what I just saw I'm not to sure about this loader. Maybe for more open mouth mags but it looks to me like it might damage the mouth of the mag? Never the less it is interesting
It doesn't jam them into the feed lips. There's a ramp in the loader that loads them in at an angle just like you would by hand.
Dood! It's plastic! Steel mags beat a plastic loader every time.
great demo sir!
does it damage the feed lip by pushing it down hard like this all the time?
Lenny, I think you are "above your skies" on this one.
Reminds me of the old Grendel P10 .380 system using AR stripper clips with a jig on top of the slide to feed the fixed magazine, clever.
Works great for the CZ TS2 as well. 9m m
Do these work as easy on the IWI Masada magazines?
mine came in i tell you trying using it first time its hard you have to sure practice it takes some time to get used to it but when i did it was easy to load my gun.
I need 10 of these
This dude has one of the coolest voices. Reminds me of the Halo voice
Seems like a good way to fk up the feed lip on a non-subgun mag.
big part is make sure you oil/grease the easy loader. Also, you should be pulling it back on your chest. Makes it so much easier.
Gun oil, NOT grease!
Will this work for any type of magazine (9mm) that's not a Glock?
The usual expression is "It's the best thing since sliced bread," but if you want to change it to "better than sliced bread" who am I to argue?
Why does he remind me of Mike Rowe?
I can see it and the voice also
Do this loader mess up the lips on the mags?
Imagine being the 1st man to eat an oyster. Musta been very hungry!
Hi..do you have for 10 mm glock 20? ,wish the best for you..jorge
Could you answer me please?
I think ill stick with the Lula. More compact and handier with loose rounds.
Does it only work on Glock mag double stack?
Mag Lula Striplula or ETS CAM loader? Is each well made/durable?
Works GREAT!
Line push guide with side of work table and push mag
The first 10 or so round were great but when it came the rest it wouldn't load all it would do is push the projectile into the shell I thought it might be the type of shells or projectile but not that didn't matter and the other thing is if you don't have a table or something to push down on the magazine comes out of the loader.

How does it work with B&T 9mm Mag
Not for me but very interesting
I tried one of these and it's didn't work at all the ammo didn't line up in the slide to the mag for 9mm from the apx
2:58 "I have a high-capacity magazine permit." Could you please elaborate on that? I'm sure a lot of people would like to know.
He is a dealer so he can sell high capacity magazines to law enforcement
Come on lenny you come up with anything
With all that pressure you have to use to force the rounds in, wouldn't it wear on the mag itself. Sounds kinda harsh loading them in.
It would be much more easier if you had lubed it before hand, and you should keep the bullets standing up with the primer at the bottom they go in much more easily, also you should never ram it in you will damage the inside of the fast loader.
Do not waste your $. For double stack, it takes a gorilla to load the last 5 rounds, and dings brass. Uplula may take a second longer but they work well.
Did you give it some oil, first?
Oil helps
Works better with a drop of oil on the loader's feed ramp
This reminds me of the m1 garand with that ammo holder😂
I need it as a topic.
at least this video is more realistic on the pressure needed to push them in the mag. I got a 9mm and a 45 loader and they are both crap. They both broke at the angle slide inside. These should be made out of aluminum.

Don't always have a sturdy bench to push down on. I don't know that this would work for me.

I just got mine today. Can you help me mine is jammed
Harry and the Henderson's?
Mine was great for about 50 reloads (17 rd S&W), now it won’t feed more than one cartridge at a time. Sorta defeats the purpose.
Looks cool but
Also looks strenuous
I keep expecting to hear......." I'm Tom Bodet for motel 6 and We'll leave the light on for ya"
I LOVE MINE
Hhmmmmm I’m now left wondering how well these will work on the factory 33rd mags
They actually make a separate one for rifle mags.
Dan From the south, in a nutshell, almost impossible to load to capacity! Sent mine back same day...
How does it get past the feed lips
The rounds go down ahead of the lips and get slid back underneath the lips.
It's not a little bit tight, but it's super tight if you are old and have wrist or thumb arthritis; it's very difficult to disengage the magazine. And I OILED THE RECEIVER VERY GOOD, NOT MUCH HELP.
WOW, 49.99 on TheGlockStore.com but you can go right to the manufacturer and get it for the suggested retail of 29.99, way to milk it Lenny
$25.20 on Amazon...
Damn man why do you have to make fun of us Californians lol.
california are forced to use reduced capacity magazines everyone else gets to use standard magazines.

Sounds a lot like user error😂
@@Harley831 I wonder what part of my description sounds like user error?
That's a piece of crap it doesn't work on the Sig Glock or Beretta magazines you have to be a weightlifter to put that much pressure
I bought one on ebay and couldn't get it to work right . It's in the trash now. I stick with the lula
Good vid just a little much talking😬
Had one, didn’t like it, sent it back same day!
you should have primed it with oil with a q-tip on the angle loader... bullets would have slept in way easier
why didn't you just put it to your chest works better then on the table and a lot less stress also you barley was able to load it on table
It looks like it's easier to load my 7.62x39 ammo with my ets
bought one for my p89 and it works like shit. buyer be warned
Yea, I wouldn't waste money on that shit. It'll damage the magazine, and probably not stack the rounds properly
Nah not for me. Too many moving parts and they break easy. I'll just stick with the loader i have.
Needs more 10mm. Seriously.
Lol kinda rolls of my tongue except that time I fumbled it
I'll stick with my maglula
Less talky more loads for Christmas sakes
I had one it sucked...
California gun laws are so STUPID ...
and im from PUERTO RICO where we must ask a judge just to carry ...
It hurts because he’s doing it wrong 😅

This thing barely works
The first rounds get stuck and it doesn’t work at all
Also, the rounds can’t slide in the track, even after oiling it
Why are you spending my money, man?
cant compare to lula
I will come back here when I want a so and so to talk to me about sliced bread
Talk to much and slow to the point. You didn't have me at hello. You lost me at hello
This loader sucks the rounds stick in the rail and don’t load easy.
