loading M9 mags > Beretta

Posted: 1/26/2008 2:56:52 PM EDT

Finally got a M9 and am really enjoying shooting it. Maybe it is because my mags are new but they are sure slow to reload, especially in this cold weather. Are there any tricks or tips to faster loading of magazines??

Never noticed Beretta mags being any harder to load than any other hi cap. HKS mag loader does help save the thumbs.

Well I gotta say I am new to hi caps. I always have had revolvers and govt. model 45's. I sure like 15 rounds but I guess the secret is never run out of loaded mags!

Loading mags is slow no matter what you do. Just wait untill you load a Glock 33 round g18 magazine. those bitches take FOREVER, and HURT!! m9 mags are nothing compared to that.

You need a maglula UPLULA!

I have their LULAs for my FAL, AK, and AR mags too, great products!

+1 on the UPLULA, one loader for all your single feed Mags.

I use mine on M9, 226, Glock , 1911 and M11/9. Works like a champ.

My Hipowers are much stiffer. At least the factory ones. I never thought the beretta's were bad at all. I think you're just not used to cramming so many rounds in!!!!!! 15 is a lot more than 6 or 7 obviously.

+1 on the HKS, never tied the Lulas. I'm probably going to get one for my .223 mags though.

Sig mags are even worse than Beretta and Browning mags, at least for the 10 round restricted ones that we are forced to use here. It takes a lot of effort to get the sig mags to lock in with the slide forward and 10 rounds, I keep them all at 9 with no issues though.

Last time at the range, I was only loading 9 in the factory 10 rounders with my HiPower too. What's with that? The stupid thing can't count either because the cartridge would show up in the 10th slot when there was only 9 in there. I double checked. Luckily, I have some 13 rounders too.
