Magazine Speed Loaders

Want to know more about magazine loaders? Then you’ve come to the right place!

While Speed Beez is primarily known for our made-in-the-USA premium speedloaders for revolvers, we also recognize people’s interest in loading their .22LR clips with ease. We’ve gathered some of the best magazine speed loaders around so that you can reload both handgun and rifle clips as quickly as possible. Let’s take a look at what they are and what we carry.

So What Makes It A Magazine Loader?

Technically a magazine loader is anything that helps you load a firearm’s magazine faster than the traditional thumb method. They may or may not have moving parts. You might think that it’s always about speed but that’s not always the case; sometimes it’s about reliability and comfort.  Let’s take a look at the two different types of magazine loaders we carry.

Magazine Speed Loaders

Sometimes you just want to reload as quickly as possible. While you might be good at reloading by hand (and maybe even timed yourself), you’ll never get as fast as when you’re working with one of our magazine speed loaders.

These little wonders do most of the work for you, including lining up the cartridges in the correct direction. Just pour a box of fifty .22LR into the drum and then give it a shake. This moves about 20 cartridges into a loading bay, and all you have to do is insert a magazine and withdraw the loaded rounds. You’ve just reloaded your clip (or two) in just a few seconds. Another couple of shakes and suddenly you have your ammo ready for your next clip.

Manual Magazine Loaders

Like we said above, it’s not always about speed. After all, some people enjoy the repetitive act of filling up a clip by hand. Some knit in front of the TV, while others take the time to reload their clips as a way to calm down.

While our manual magazine loaders can speed up how fast you load a clip, they’re really more about saving your thumbs from the repetition of pushing down the follower against spring. Instead of having to force each round into the clip, all you have to do is slip this mag loader over the magazine so that it slides the follower down. With the follower out of the way, all you have to do is drop the cartridges in one at a time.

The great thing about these magazine loaders is that they are very compact and have no moving parts. You can also keep them with you at all times, considering that each comes with a keyring and a carabiner. (They’re also great for keeping on the zipper or D-ring of a shooting bag.)

Okay, now that you know a bit more about each kind of magazine loader we sell, let’s talk about the hassles they’re saving you.

What A Magazine Loader is Saving You

Whenever you purchase any product, you have to ask yourself certain questions. Is it worth the money? Is it well made? What’s the purpose, and is what it does going to make my life better in some way?

So when it comes to a magazine loader, you have to ask yourself the same questions. We think that, considering what these loaders are saving you, they are most certainly worth the money. Let’s take a look at how they’re saving you time and frustration while protecting your fingers at the same time.

Magazine Speed Loaders Save You Time

They’re called speed loaders for a reason! As we discussed up above, all it takes is a shake of our magazine speed loader to align the .22LR cartridges. Slip the magazine in and you’re all loaded up. Three seconds is the average once you get the hang of it, which is sure a lot better than loading every cartridge one-at-a-time. When you’re firing off clip after clip, you’re going to save yourself a lot of time at the range.

Our manual loader is primarily about convenience, but it can actually save you time as well. After all, when you’re not fighting the magazine’s spring, it’s going to save you time. You also never have to worry about the spring causing cartridges to jump back up. And speaking of errant cartridges…

Magazine Loaders Save You Frustration

No matter where you are, you don’t want to be dropping cartridges. They might get dusty, or they might get lost. You certainly don’t want them to get damaged and jam your semi-automatic. No matter what, dropping cartridges can be an embarrassing situation, one that you certainly want to avoid.

Magazine speed loaders fix the problem of dropped cartridges. Once the brass is in the loader, they’re secure from drum to loading dock to magazine to firearm. So instead of dropping bullets on the lane and looking like an amateur, look and feel like a pro with our magazine speed loaders.

Magazine Loaders Save Your Thumbs (and Fingers)

Anyone who’s ever loaded up clip after clip with cartridges, no matter the caliber, knows that it can wreak havoc on the thumbs. And when the thumbs get sore, people often switch to fingers, which is less efficient but at least it doesn’t hurt (until it does).

Both types of magazine loaders are great at saving all of your digits. The whole point of our compact manual mag loader is to drop the follower so that each round can be dropped in without worry. No more fighting the spring as you reload so many clips. Of course, the magazine speed loader not only deals with the spring but actually loads the cartridges for you at the same time. Not bad!

With all the problems that both magazine loaders solve, it’s pretty obvious that they’re both worth the money. Try them out and you’ll be convinced!

4 Reasons To Use a Magazine Speed Loader At The Range

You won’t be surprised to know that we have lots of different types of customers. After all, there are gun collectors out there who never head to the range. Then there are gun enthusiasts in the world who spend more time at the range over the weekend than they do at home! Luckily for us, both are buying our magazine speed loaders! That first shooter mostly just likes to upgrade his semi-automatic rifle with gadgets, while the other never leaves for the shooting range without their well-worn magazine reloader.

Of course, most of our customers are somewhere in the middle. They lead normal lives and like to get out every so often to do some shooting at the range, whether it’s indoor or outdoor. Most of them don’t get out shooting as much as they want, and when they do they want to make the most of it. They might wave to the other guys on the lane, but they don’t know them by name. They simply want to get better with their handgun or rifle, and that means getting in as much target time as possible. When they’re shooting, they don’t want to waste time reloading.

That’s where our magazine speed loaders come into play. They turn you from a reloader into a shooter, and isn’t that what most of us are looking for? Here’s why it’s so important to have one of our magazine speed loaders with you when you’re on the lanes.

You’ll Get More Shooting In

“You’ve got two hours until we have to be at the kid’s band concert.” Most of us have heard something like this before. We just don’t have a lot of free time, and the shooting range is seldom that close to where we live.

So once you do get to the lanes, you probably don’t have a lot of time to spare. Even if you loaded up your clips last night, those aren’t going to last long. With a quick finger and a desire to see some paper fly, your first two clips can be empty in under a minute. Then it’s just the boredom of reloading after that, one cartridge at a time. Is that really how you want to spend your time?

What’s the solution, other than buying a dozen more clips? You can reload your clips in seconds with our magazine speed loaders, made for all B1 sized clips (see the chart below).

Reloading Breaks Your Concentration

If you’re trying to get better with your firearm, you certainly don’t want your concentration broken. Once you go through your last pre-loaded clip, you want to spend as little time as possible reloading because you want to stay “in the zone.” Wouldn’t it be nice to get back to shooting in just a few seconds instead of the minutes that it takes to reload with an aching thumb. Most of the time you’re going to want to avoid downtime as much as possible, because you’re probably interested in…

Avoiding Awkward Small Talk

It’s possible you go to the range enough that you have people you like to talk to. But like we were saying, most people have pretty limited time and simply don’t spend enough of their lives there to get to know people.

So maybe you’re standing there in your electronic earmuffs, not shooting because you’re too busy pushing those cartridges into the clips one by one by one. Of course, the guy next to you ends up wanting to talk to you. Sure, he could be your next best friend, but it’s more likely that it’s someone who’s waaaaay more into shooting than you are and makes you feel like you don’t know what you’re doing.

On the other hand, it’s just as likely someone who barely knows one end of their gun from the other and will be asking you questions. While it’s a good idea to help people out, we must remind you that your kid’s band concert is less than an hour away and you’d rather just shoot.

If you are shooting and trying to talk, you’re probably going to get distracted. That could lead to something embarrassing, like…

Stop Dropping Cartridges

Look, we’ve all dropped brass at one time or another. Of course, it’s something you want to avoid as much as possible. You don’t want your cartridges to get dusty, dirty, or damaged, and you don’t want to make the mistake of reaching too far out onto the lane to grab it and maybe getting stung by someone else’s hot brass. And let’s be honest: dropping bullets makes you seem like an amateur.

That’s why our magazine speed loaders make so much sense. Once you drop an entire box of .22 into them and close the door, you’re not going to be dropping any cartridges at all! Shake, load, shoot, shake, load, shoot. Depending on the size of your clip, you might be able to get five reloads from just one of our magazine loaders. And when it’s empty? Just drop in another box and keep shooting, without worrying about dropping live ammo to the floor.

You’ll Be A Pro

For so little money, you can really impress anyone who’s around you on the lanes. While they’re busy reloading one at a time, all you have to do is shake the magazine speed loader, insert the clip, and get back to shooting. You know that satisfying feeling slapping a clip into your revolver? You’ll be doing that a lot more, and it’s going to be awesome!

Considering the time they save you, our .22LR magazine loaders are really a steal. They simply make your time at the range a much more efficient experience. Sure, you can still choose to shoot the breeze with anyone who comes by, but why be forced to slow down and reload by hand?

If you’re still reading, we bet we’ve convinced you that it’s time to grab a magazine speed loader for your handgun or rifle. Oh yeah, we have them for both, and for lots of brands. Let’s take a look at the magazine speed loaders (and manual cartridge loaders) we offer.

What Kind of Magazine Speed Loaders Do We Carry?

Let’s get right to it. Now that we’ve told you just how easy it is to use our .22LR magazine speed loaders, you’re probably wondering if we have one to fit your particular handgun or rifle clips. Here’s a list of the firearms for which we have both magazine speed loaders and the more compact manual loader (for dropping the clip’s follower).
