Default any recommendations for mag loader

I know a lot of folks here are shooters. Wondering if anyone can recommend a specific magazine loader. how well do they work? are they worth the money. I have found that trying to load the .40 is not nearly as "Fun" as the 9mm.

the gun is springfield XD40 although I think the loaders are not gun specific.

I use the loader that came with my XDm 9mm in the case and it works great. I know the same loader works with the .40 as well. I guess the XD doesn't come with a loader?

yeah this one was just a gun and two mags not the whole kit. may have to go see if I can find an XD one locally. I'm sure they have them.

I use an HKS. It's nice because the PT92 mags tend to be a little on the stiff side.

THIS!

But I only use it for the last 2 rounds.


I bought enough magazines so that when I go to the range I just empty the mags I preloaded (usually 10-12 per gun) and leave with empty mags. Then I leave 1/2 unloaded until the next range time and load only the remaining 1/2 (for zombie preparredness)

I just ordered my 3 freebies so I was thinking of doing pretty much the same thing.

Never used them.

The pistols I've bought came with them but I never tried them.
