ETS Speed Loader for Glock XD XDM and 1911 Magazines .45 ACP

My time frame at the range was an 1hr, shot 200rds of 9mm and 200rds of the 45acp w two of these speed loaders. Worked fantastically. The trick: have the bullets facing downwards on the rail while loading them into the mags. Make sure the rail and inner channel are lubed.

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.

I got product thinking I had great fast Magazine loader for my new 45 pistol and when i open to use loader found that is poorly design and it won't work correctly due to problem with bullet rail where the set on top of the rail to be push down into the Magazine. The ETS Elite Tactical Systems CAM Universal Speed Loader has many problem with it when your trying to use it. Magazine won't hold the Mag in place neither lock inside of the ETS Elite Tactical Systems CAM Universal Speed Loader. I have three different sides Mag 45 9 mm 38. And the Magazine didn't lock in place.

This was recommended to me by a friend, who has had great success with his for .556 magazines.I was impressed with the 1st several loads of the .45 ACP and the 9mm. I thanked my friend for the advice.Then they both began to hang up in the feed area of the loader making it impossible to load mags in either caliber. I followed instructions to the letter after watching videos, by lubricating the rails and used multiple ways to leverage pressure against loading plunger.Ultimately, I had a .45 round wedged so tight iside the loader it took 5 minutes to remove. Several of the .45 rounds were compressed into casing and had gouges in them, very similar to other review by C. Bones.I cannot in good conscious recommend this product.

Excellent produuct. Works great. Takes a minute or two to get used to how it works.

I own the 9mm version. LOVE it. Fast loads every time, even jamming 10 rounds of Blazer brass into my tiny CZ RAMI CA compliant 10 rd mags. It took a while for those springs to loosen up, but now I've got it down to a science.This .45 version, however, is a different story.- First, the loading slide on this device isn't even long enough to grab all 10 rounds off the tray (see pic), so you can scoop 9, but then have to slide that 10th round on by hand, immediately slowing you down.- Second, with 10 rounds on the slide, the pushing piece doesn't fit snugly onto the loading slide (see pic) till you have a round into the magazine (assuming you start with 10).So based on the first two bullets, is this simply a 9 round loader? Why wouldn't they make it 1 inch longer to account for the bigger .45 rounds? Frustrating!- Finally, it requires far more force than the 9mm loader. I know, smaller rounds, easier load, yada yada , but still, I have big strong hands, and it still takes my pushing down on a hard surface to use it, as I don't want bruises on my stomach from using it to push against...So its a great concept, and I love my 9mm version, but just a little effort would have made this 45 version SO much more worth the money. I'm keeping it, and will use it, because nothing else comes close, but I'll always be left thinking, "if only..." :)

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.

Works well, saves time and easy to use. A little pricey but if you plan on using it a lot can’t be beat.
