Speed Loader for Glock 42 Ruger LCP SW Bodyguard Magazines .380 ACP

I gave this a 5 star review, but with that said that is because this is way cool. Got it a couple days ago, used it several times and has worked flawlessly (minus user errors🤣) Durability its a plastic composition and seems quite sturdy and don't think it will have a problem unless I create one for it. But only time will tell if the plastic holds up. As we all know some plastic holds up forever and some don't. I hope this one does. Value for money - I think it should be about $10.00 less, but I am cheap and this is plastic so a $20.00 price point is where I'm at but hey, I still bought it and I hope it last a long time. Sturdiness - very ridgid and seems Sturdy. Made from a single piece mold with a second pusher piece so 2 pieces in total. I dont think it will break if used as intended and can only see user mishandling as a cause fro breakages. Would I recommend - 👍yes, totally useful, easy to use, fast at reloading and a smart design, although it is a bit bulky. I would love to see a folding model come out that stores a little more compact.

Didn’t have much luck with this design. Speed Bees works much better.

Cool tool

380 Though the write up says it works with Sig Sauer, the P365 magazines are the same size as the 9mm Mags and will not fit into the loader. Had no issues with the Ruger LCP Max magazines though. 9MM The BUL SASII magazines are too big. Sig P320 worked great but couldn’t get the P365 to budge. S&W M&P worked like a dream. Springfield armory Hellcat… not so much. May try the P365 and Hellcat once the tool breaks in some more.

The chute needs to be refined for the smaller size of 380 rounds, but with a little practice it seems to be somewhat reliable. If the loader isn't handled just right, the rear of the loading round is likely to get caught on the tip of the round or the edge of the casing below it, or worse, rotate into a vertical position in the chute. If all rounds aren't loaded in a single fast push/pull, the remaining rounds will probably jam. Lubing the chute like their site suggests didn’t help. Make sure the mag is inserted all the way. Check ammo for damage. I think I pushed the lead on one round a few mm into the shell by applying too much force to a jammed load. What seemed to help the most to prevent jamming is to hold the loader horizontally with the rounds pointing up. It’s a little easier to apply more force pushing/pulling that way too. I can see this being great with longer rounds/casings, but with little 380s the loader needs to be manufactured perfectly to handle the alignment and possible movement of smaller rounds, and this one isn't. I'm going to play with it a little more and make sure I have a technique that works somewhat consistently, but unfortunately might need to end up getting a lula. Using Remington 380 fmj in a Taurus OEM 6-round mag and a 10-ruond Pro Mag.

I would call this one of the Best speed loaders out there

I love the way this device loads shells with one single push. After using these for a while on my .380 and 9MM, these are the best speed loaders I have ever seen. Make sure you follow the instructions, and apply just the right amount of lubricant where they tell you You won't be disappointed.

Purchased this for one of our customers, who has the S&W bodyguard 380. Complete junk!!!! The magazine does not fit properly, when trying to load the rounds into the mag it either pushes the mag out or just won't load the rounds into the mag. This is not a universal mag loader because it will not even work with the Glock 42 single stack mag.
