5.0 out of 5 stars Essential to Air Soft Parties, Practice Etc. for Anything Over 10 Rounds, March 26, 2007
| By | Kyle Slayzar (Bismarck, ND) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) |
Pretty simple design and execution; open top hatch and insert up to 120 airsoft rounds, place nozzle on top of magazine and prime accordingly. That easy. Easily loads a 30-round magazine in less than three seconds. It's inexpensive and easy to replace if it breaks... which it shouldn't unless you took it in the field and was dumb enough to put it in your front pouch and cracked it when you dove for cover. Sounds ridiculous but I've seen it done by the Air Force guys I play with.
But let's face it; if you only have so many magazines/drums you're going to want a speed loader to make emergency quick-loads in the field and what better way than to carry it with you. I strongly suggest you carry it in a side pouch; I carry mine in my BDU pant leg pocket below my hip holster for easy access although I try to carry more magazines in my tactical vest to avoid using it as a last resort. I strongly recomend against placing it in a pouch in front of you like in a tactical vest since it's made of plastic, not metal.
Lastly a warning; don't go too overboard with the primer. Sometimes if you're not watching it you'll overload the magazine/drum and spray airsoft all over whereever you happen to be and either you've wasted ammo or you have to clean it up... unless you're at a friends house, let them clean it up. ;)

This is a great product. If you don't know how it works, it is like a spring loaded syringe for loading BBs into an airsoft gun magazine. You fill the reservoir with BBs, line up the hole on the bottom of the loader with the hole in your magazine and push the plunger down. Usually 4 or 5 BBs are loaded for every push. I fill 25-round pistol magazines in about 2 seconds, instead of pushing 25 BBs in one-by-one.When you are done loading, turn the loader upside-down so the BBs fall to the top of the loader, push the plunger in and push the lock button to lock the plunger inside the loader so it doesn't get broken off during play.
You can find speed loaders that hold more BBs but these 90 - 120 round loaders are the perfect size for carrying in pistol magazine pouches.
I ordered 15 of these for myself and some friends. Including the shipping cost, they ended up costing $1.90 each. They are $5 at a local sporting goods store and that is the best price I've found them for other than here.
I would also like to comment on a few things I have read in other reviews here to try to help clear up some misconceptions.
* There are many comment about these being cheap plastic. That is true, but I own several other brands of these speed loaders and they are all just as cheaply made. These are not any more cheaply made than any other speed loader you will find. I have been using these speed loaders for almost a year now and none of mine have broken.
* You will see these speed loaders advertised as 120 or 90 round speed loaders. 120 and 90 round speed loaders are the same size and hold the same number of BBs. The last marking on the speed loader is the 90 BB marker line, but if you fill the loader to the top it holds about 120 BBs.
* They are designed to be used with pretty much any airsoft magazine (rifle, pistol, shotgun, etc.). It may be easier to line up the loaders hole with some magazines, but with just using it for a little while you will be able to fill pretty much any magazine without losing BBs. I used my loader for loading 25-round pistol magazines for 8 months before I bought a shotgun. The shotgun magazine lines up easier but I do the pistol magazines in seconds with not problem and no lost BBs.
