The folks from B&T AG formerly known as Brügger & Thomet AG of Switzerland created this super fast magazine loader for the MP9 and HK MP5 which shoots the 9mm rounds, but before you get it for your Glocks, read this first.
A loader like this WILL NOT work with a single-position-feed magazine like a Glock (or pretty much any pistol) magazine. It will ONLY work with a double-position-feed magazine like most SMGs and rifles use. See the video here on how fast you can reload your magazine here.
Is this saying it will ONLY work on a double stack magazine and NOT on a single stack? That’s what those variants are usually called.
Take your time loading, so you don’t have to take your time unloading. :)
Personally, this looks like nothing ore than a temporary stripper clip (maybe a little beefier)....regardless I think the description is backwards. It looks like it would best for a single stack magazine which most Glocks don’t have but rifles and SMGs, etc. do have.

Repeal 922(o) and I’ll be interested.
Every time I would order an Argentine Military mag for the Browning Hi-Power it would come with a loader. Good thing too as I could never get the last few rounds in without using one.
Browning and Mec-Gar are easier but I still use them mainly due to the arthritis in my hands.
Just for the heck of it, I will rate the quality of the various mags I have for the Browning. I rate the Mec-Gar as the best with the Browning made ones very close. The Argentine Military ones are still reliable but like I said, the springs are too strong.
I have one 30 round high capacity mag of unknown origin. Several mag sellers at gun shows have all agreed that it is of good quality and it is. No markings at all. One dealer suggested that it was made in Argentina.
USA are made so poorly that I regret buying the single one I did during the high capacity mag ban. Just junk.
There is a new Italian maker who I have read great things about but cannot remember the brand name.
They look awful! Thanks, but I like all the magazines I have. They fit different guns. Different colored guns, too, if you want your clothing to match your weaponry. Or vice-versa. Black, brown and silver bet boring...
Uh, it is for the range.
Obviously you didn’t read the article.
I did read the article and it did not specify “for range purposes only”.
“I did read the article “
Really?
“A loader like this WILL NOT work with a single-position-feed magazine like a Glock (or pretty much any pistol) magazine.”
” it did not specify for range purposes only.”
It didn’t, but a brief look at the photo or video shows it’s intended purpose.
And your point is ????
I use Uplulas for the AR and all the handguns. Also got one for the Marlin 795. Those 10 rd mags are hell on your fingers with the little 22s, especially in the winter.
As far as loading off the range, carry extra mags. If you need more than several mags for your carry gun, you should have a long gun nearby.

"What a waste. First off, if you need to reload a magazine that fast your in deep shit. Secondly, if you need that many rounds to fend off an opponent your probably fending off a freakin gang or a small army."
Intended for range, not for self-defense situations.
"This eliminates the need to cycle the pistol."
You didn't read the article. Will not work with most pistols.
Double feed is not the same as double stack. Double feed is like an AR mag, feeds from the left or right. The Glock, and most pistol double stack mags all feed from the center of the mag.
I WROTE ,,,, I did read the article. I'll ask you this then.
What does the rate of speed have to do with "does not work with all magazines".
