Anyone ever try one of these? Looks like a neat setup if it works.Says it works on all mags, single or double stack.

To me half the fun is loading the magazines 1 by 1.

I imagine this would make you fly through ammo pretty quick, not having to slow down at all.

That gets old fast if shooting in high volumes, not to mention painful on your thumb.
That's a shame, this loader looked promising. However the Maglula has worked very, very well for me.
Those things kick butt. The downfall is one round at a time.
Well that would make @gun_slinger_boy happy. And while true, it does get the magazine loaded much faster and with much less strain on the thumbs. I find that after 250 or so rounds my thumb gets very fatigued.

I use my index finger to push down rounds already in the mag while loading with the other hand. Maybe that's the problem most have. Using the thumb is just clumsy considering the thumb is crucial when holding things. You get no leverage. I recommend people try it. I haven't seen a mag yet that this method doesnt work on no matter how tight it get's near full capacity.
My typical technique is to grasp the magazine from the rear and use the thumb of that hand to depress and slide the rounds to the rear while the other hand feeds. The Maglula works so incredibly well though I think you should try one. They aren't stupid expensive ir anything.

I just watched a video of one. I'm doing the same exact thing the device is doing with my hand and finger. Maybe that's why it's so easy. This is the way I always did it from day one. Maybe I'll make a short vid if I'm not too lazy. Do they make these things for rifle mags as well?
You couldn't do what the maglula does, all your doing is putting a round on a ramp and pushing down.
There is a version for AR15 mags, that's the actual "MagLula", the pistol loader they call the "UpLula".
I have both. The AR15 MagLula loader works well and is faster than by hand but I don't find loading double column, dual feed rifle mags to be nearly as difficult to load as single column feed pistol mags.
IMO the MagLula is a nice to have luxury but the UpLula is essential. There is also a StripLula for loading 5.56 stripper clips into mags that I'd like to try.
