    Mag loader

    Wow got one yesterday and this thing rocks! Filling 30 rounds with ease! I know you guys are stuck with ten but it makes it easy either way. Just thought I would give you guys a heads up.

    For California AR-15 owners, the StripLULA is a better choice. It loads 10 rounds at a time, works with or without stripper clips and is very compact.

      I guess I just don't see anything wrong with using my fingers and doing it by hand. I don't need a fancy mechanism for loading mags.

        Load 10 mags, its a PITA. 30 rounds is really a PITA. My thumbs love me right now. Did 20 mags in like 10-15min.

            Or a wife who also loves to shoot AR-15s.

            You'll be the one loading the magazines while she blasts away happily. Ask me how I know....700 rounds a weekend, it would have been (more) painful without the StripLULA.

              Try loading Colt 32rd 9mm or STEN mags to capacity with your fingers and you will beg for a loader. 10 rounds per mag is pretty easy but if I had to load 20 10 round mags in one sitting I would want a speed loader.
              Then there is this pile of mags and belts. It would take me days to load this with just my fingers and this is just for an impromptu desert outing.



              My 3 favorite loaders. AR15 Maglula Colt SMG Maglula STEN loader







              I started off with the speed loader the OP has but dumped it in favor of the Maglula. It is so much better. Lining up the rounds in the loader is a pain as they tip over easily. It only hold 20 rounds (which is actually a plus since any more capacity will just make the bullets tip over more often) so you need to use it twice. The force needed to load those 20 rounds is enough to break a Beta mag feed tower if you load it and a round gets caught in the loader, which they do often.

                  How the hell do you have over 7000 posts and you barely discovered a mag loader? WTF did you do for all those posts lol?

                      You barely joined in 2014 and you have 1243 posts. Looks like you are on your way.

                      At least the guy has some Itrader.

                          Cammenga makes great products and their efforts at manufacturing multiple versions of the compass have yielded results that are as good as it gets. i have no history with their loaders because i've been happy with maglula loaders that have worked well for me.

                              I have one of those. Never really needed/wanted one due to ca 10rnd law, but I saw a guy at the gun show last year demonstrating it and I was sold after I tested it. Me and a few buddies bought one since he said more we buy cash bigger discount he'd give. Works perfect since even thought I barley use it ha.

                              If using in CA, just load all 30 and do 3 mags.

                              Only other mag loader I've felt like is absolutely worth every penny is the maglula for 30 rnd colt 9mm ar mags
