Good try

This must be covered in oil and does not speed up anything. You cannot scoop up rounds like the video has led you to believe. It may happen after more break-in, but after 250 rounds with no change, I am skeptical. I was not able to get a single round to slide into the rails. For this to work right, Elite Tactical needs to make the rails that pick up the rounds out of metal. I cycled through 20 rounds to attempt to break in the loader. by the time I was done the 9mm rounds had all been pushed farther into their jackets. Part of the reason this was purchased was to help people newer to firearms speed up their load times by using less force. this loader still requires a large amount of force and should not be purchased by someone who is not familiar with semi-auto pistols. I will continue to use the loader up to the 1000 round mark at which point I will try to post an update. Hopefully I will have positive news. If by the 1000 round point there has been no significant increase in ease, I will trash it.

Not worth the hassle

This thing is finicky and a pain to use. If you get lucky it may work once. It was faster to load manually then to use this thing. It got frustrating after a while trying to make it work.
