What's The Best Magazine Speedloader?

Nine Reloaded Speed Loader Review

Steve and Caleb take a hands-on look at the Nine Reloaded speed loader system, a fast and efficient magazine loading tool designed specifically for 9mm pistol magazines. After extended use on the range, both agree that this has become one of their favorite magazine loaders thanks to its speed, reliability, and ease of use.

For shooters who regularly load extended magazines, train heavily, or shoot competitions, a good magazine loader can save time and reduce hand fatigue significantly.

How the Nine Reloaded Magazine Loader Works

The Nine Reloaded system uses a lever-driven loading mechanism combined with interchangeable magazine inserts that fit specific magazine types. Once the correct insert is installed, shooters can rapidly load ammunition into magazines using a smooth downward lever stroke.

The loader is designed around 9mm pistol magazines and currently supports many of the most common handgun platforms including Glock, SIG Sauer P320, Smith & Wesson M&P, and SIG P226 magazines.

Some inserts even work across multiple magazine types due to similar magazine geometry.

Interchangeable Magazine Adapters

One of the strengths of the Nine Reloaded system is the removable adapter design. Shooters can purchase additional inserts for different pistol platforms without buying an entirely new loader.

The adapters swap quickly without tools by using a spring-loaded locking mechanism. This makes it easy to move between different pistol systems during range sessions.

For shooters who own multiple handgun platforms, the modular design keeps the loader flexible and affordable.

Loading Extended Pistol Magazines Faster

Extended pistol magazines can become tedious to load manually, especially 30-round and larger magazines commonly used for PCCs, competition shooting, or range training.

Using the Nine Reloaded system, Steve quickly loads a 31-round Glock magazine with minimal effort. Ammunition is first scooped into the loading sled directly from the ammunition tray, then the lever mechanism feeds rounds into the magazine rapidly.

The process is dramatically faster than loading by hand and significantly easier on the thumbs.

Proper Loading Technique

The key to smooth operation is using a complete lever stroke every time. Caleb explains that short-stroking the lever can cause feeding issues or rounds to pop back out of the system.

Allowing the mechanism to fully return under spring pressure helps maintain reliable feeding speed and consistency.

Gravity also plays a role in proper operation, so slightly angling the loader downward during use helps ammunition feed smoothly into the magazine.

Maintenance and Cleaning Tips

Like any mechanical loading tool, the Nine Reloaded loader benefits from occasional cleaning. Dust, carbon residue, and debris can accumulate in the sled area over time, especially during high-volume shooting sessions.

A simple toothbrush or utility cleaning brush works well for removing debris from the feed track. Caleb also recommends applying dry lubricant inside the mechanism to keep operation smooth without attracting excessive dirt.

Routine maintenance is minimal and takes only a few minutes.

Single Feed Attachment

The optional single-feed attachment allows shooters to load loose ammunition one round at a time rather than scooping directly from factory ammunition trays.

This is useful for shooters carrying loose rounds in buckets, ammo cans, or bulk storage containers. The attachment creates a loading chute that guides rounds directly into the system.

Even with single-feed operation, the loader remains much faster than loading magazines by hand.

Excellent for Competition Shooters and High-Volume Training

Shooters who spend long days on the range understand how tiring magazine loading can become. The Nine Reloaded system speeds up reload prep while reducing strain on the hands and fingers.

This makes it especially useful for:

• Competition shooters

• High-volume trainers

• PCC shooters

• Shooters using extended magazines

• Older shooters with reduced hand strength

• Anyone dealing with arthritis or dexterity limitations

Because of its compact size, the loader also fits easily into most range bags.

Final Thoughts on the Nine Reloaded Loader

The Nine Reloaded speed loader system combines fast operation, interchangeable magazine adapters, and simple maintenance into one highly effective range tool. For shooters who regularly load large quantities of 9mm magazines, it offers a major improvement over traditional hand loading methods.

While adapter availability continues to expand, the system already supports many of the most popular modern pistol platforms and covers the majority of the handgun market. For many shooters, this may quickly become one of the most useful accessories in their range bag.
