I bought one of these a few weeks ago. They are advertised to work for polymer magazines (like Glocks). I can confirm this, as they work great for the glock magazines my kel-tec sub2k uses.

Aim Surplus had these on sale a while back and thought about getting one, but I already had the Maglula and debated to long if I should buy or not and they sold out. Regretted it as it was cheap enough that I could have afforded to have two loaders and regretted it :banghead:

I live in a tiny Town so I ordered one off Amazon. It should be here next week. I'll definitely let you guys if I like it or not... But from the video I'd say it looks awesome.

Amazon is where I ordered mine from. It takes a time or 2 before you get the hang of it, but afterwards it's a breeze. I can load my 30+ round glock mags for my sub2k in about 15-30 seconds now, versus a couple minutes using a MagLula.

I wonder what I'll do with my maglula... is the ETS loader small enough to throw in a range bag for reloading at the range or would you recommend using the maglula?

I've taken a pic of a 17 round Glock G17 magazine next to my ETS loader to give you an idea of the size. The plunger in mine is out a bit so you can see it a bit better.

well i got mine in the mail today. first off ill say that i absolutely love this thing... i loaded up my 8 15 rd mags in less than 3 minutes and I didn't even have to touch the rounds. super simple. however if you have arthritis or maybe you're a bit weak due to whatever reason, you might not wanna load 10 at a time. i found that loading 5 at a time is a LOT easier cause you can get more leverage than you can when loading 10 at a time. but other than that I would recommend this loader to anyone who has lots of mags to load. your thumbs will definitely thank you. just be sure to get the right loader for your caliber. i blieve they have a 9mm/40 loader, a 45 loader, and a 380 loader. best $30 ive ever spent on a gun accessory lol. :lol:

Those things cost a heck of a lot more than $30, think of how much more lead you're going to send downrange. Loading mags is a way to pace myself... :lol:
My guns won't be illegal, they'll be undocumented. :thumbs2:
