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.

If you're using this for the .45ACP round, don't buy it. I've tried using two of these and this product is badly designed or defective & very dangerous to use. I ordered one of these for .45ACP and rounds would jam at the bottom of the rail. Sent it back to Amazon for an exchange...and the replacement unit is even worse. The rounds jammed at the bottom of the rail, but the first round jammed inside the unit and I've tried everything to remove it, without success. The photos I've attached are of the replacement unit with the .45 round stuck inside. I've used gun oil, WD-40, and a lot of pressure to try to break the round free, but nothing works. I've used enough force trying to remove it, as well as prying on it with leverage, that the bullet's copper head is damaged and pushed back into the brass casing...yet, it remains stuck in the unit. On both units, I followed the directions to lightly oil the rails and ramp and to properly use the unit...but all that was useless, since the rounds became jammed anyway. Now I'm stuck with a unit that has a live & damaged round jammed inside. How am I supposed to return this to Amazon for a refund, since it would be too dangerous to send this back with a round jammed inside? The body is one-piece molded, so I can't use pressure to separate the body. The only thing I can do is try to shatter the unit with a hammer to free the round, then send the pieces back to Amazon.

Seems decent quality. It was a gift.

It works but is hard to use and cumbersome to handle.

As long as its a standard box of ammo with trays holding the ammo, it is byfar the fastest and easiest method of loading. Without a tray you can single load them onto the speed loader itself which does make it easier on the thumbs, but relatively the same speed as directly loading the magazine.

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.
