Butler Creek ASAP Magazine Loader

This is the new ASAP Magazine Loader from Butler Creek. And specifically it's a universal double stack pistol magazine loader. Now I got to tell you, when I first picked this up it looked maybe a little bit overbuilt and a little bit over engineered, but once I started actually using it I figured out why it is actually so robust and that it really is pretty universal and supposed to fit just about any double stack magazine from three 80, all the way up to 45 ACP. Of course most of the time your magazines are going to be loaded high capacity when you're in the training environment and you're going be loading a lot. And people come to my classes, they're shooting five maybe 600 rounds a day, and probably about 75 to 80% of the people who are coming to my classes nowadays are using some form of magazine loader. So a lot of people ask me, which one I think is best. Well, I got to tell you, obviously I haven't had a lot of experience with this one because it's brand new but it really does do a great job of getting the rounds in there. And I've got the three most popular magazines that we see in classes. I've got M&P, I've got an XDM model here and this is the Glock magazine. The reason I picked the M model 19 rounds you load 19 rounds. Well, I don't know, 30, 40 times in a day. You're, you're definitely gonna know that you're loading some magazines. So let's take a look at the way this works. Like most of the magazine loaders, this one pushes down on the rounds that are already in the magazine creates some space for you to slide this in, but what this little guy is doing is as you release it comes up and pushes that round back down into the magazine, which is pretty cool. So one thing that you're doing, you push it down put it back in there. And the third thing is to release. So three easy steps and you can get that magazine loaded. works with hollow point rounds and it works with obviously your training ammunition, your ball rounds. And like I said, I've checked it out with the XDM mag. Here's an image M&P mag. This one has one of my Terran Tactical Extended Base Plates on it. So we've got a whole bunch of rounds going into this guy too, when we get it fully loaded. And then of course we've got the Glock magazine here also with a base plate. This is one of my IC Training Company, Claude Base Plates. And you see the practice rounds and then we'll get some hollow point rounds in there. So I'm pretty impressed. They also make one for AR mags. I haven't had a chance to check out yet but I will be soon, if you're looking for a loader that's not only going to be reliable but also it looks like it's pretty durable, it's going to get you through a lot of classes. The ASAP, Universal Double Stack Magazine Loader from Butler Creek three 80 to 45 ACP. Obviously you want to make sure that you test it on your magazines before you rely on it. And I'm sure the internet is going to tell you which ones it works for. So far, I can tell you it works for the ones that go into the guns I recommend you train with for personal defense.
