very finiky
Their .223 model works very well, the 9mm is way more picky. It works okay, but is very touchy about how you run it. Once you get a rhythm down and understand the issues it's not bad, but you definitely don't want to just let your buddy hop on and run it. It's very important you go slower than you can, in that it's important the make sure the lever travels fully up and down with a little pause at each spot, try to go too fast and things go wrong very quickly. The lever placement/size is not great, esp. if you have it on a bench because then ensuring the lever goes fully downward usually results in your hand hitting the table or loader. The big issue I have is the hopper does not feed constantly, rounds get jammed up in the top of the hopper and do not keep the mechanism fed. As a result it's very easy to run out of rounds in the mechanism. If you like to load your mags to a certain round count it's very annoying. I usually load 10 rounds in my mags for the range and I typically get anywhere from 7-10 due to the above issue. As a result you end up constantly nudging rounds around in the hopper so they feed in to try and ensure each lever pull actually has a round to load. It's still faster than a maglula loader, but not much, esp. if you are doing different mags and have to swap out mag inserts. Which are just 3D printed plastic, there's no way they should be $20 a pop. I will say it's impressive how well it works with a insert with the mags I've tried. It's great for loading a bunch of mags before going to the range, but due to its finicy nature I'd never take it to a range, unlike the 223 version.
