Springfield Armory XD Gear Magazine Loader For 9mm Luger/.40 S&W/.357 Sig/.45 GAP ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH THESE SPECIFIC MODELS

I bought this for my Girlfriends xdm 40 sub compact,it works EXCELLENT!!!! It fits the mag PERFECTLY,it is easy to use right out of the box NO HASSLES at all!!! This is a tip for all of the xdm 40 compact and sub-compact owners out there,you can buy the HI CAP 9mm mags and use them in your .40 cal!!! The 9mm mags holds 16 rounds,I was able to load 14 rounds of .40 S&W rounds in this mag!!!! You will need this up lulu/mag loader if you want to get all 14 rounds into this 9mm mag,I tried to load the mag by hand!!! Good luck with that,it took forever and a lot of hand STRENGTH to get it done!!! So as I said earlier,buy the Mag Loader and your mission/job to get this mag loaded will be easier and alot faster!!!!

Little hard to use.

A handy helper for loading those pesky spring-loaded magazines. It works well. But the included instructions, in English no less, were nearly impossible to decipher. Frankly, I prefer the " Maglula UpLULA Universal Pistol Magazine Loader " here on Amazon. Lower cost, comes in a variety of ammunition sizes, and if flat black is not your color then you can pay for your favorite.

Does not fit the XD elite 9mm! not even close! description is confusing as it says it will fit 40, 9 and 45. but then yes to purchase a different model…quality feels good, just convoluted wording on page.

I have arthritis in both hands and wrists, my thumbs are the worst! This tool has allowed me to reload my magazines with no problem, once you get a rhythm to it you will be convinced! I bought this for an XD-9 (Springfield) I bought just recently, and I shoot it a lot thanks to being able not only to enjoy shooting again with a pistol, but now I don't have to dread reloading really tight magazines like the ones that come with the XD-9. The last four and especially the last two were very tough to load by hand. Now... a breeze. You like to shoot, a LOT? Get one! Save your hands.

I bought the XD9 essentials package. It didn't come with the loader, mag pouch and the holster. I figured I didn't need any of those since I only intend to use this for HD and the range. I tried loading my magazine by hand. The first 2 or 3 cartridges went in easy enough but it was very difficult from then on especially when you get past 8 rounds. This worked perfectly! The fit is spot on and made loading much easier.

If your new Springfield XD magazines seem a little stiff and those last few rounds are not going in all that easy, this little guy makes it a breeze. Simply slide it over the magazine, push down, and slip in the next round. It uses a "tab" to push last round down, allowing the next to be inserted with ease. Pull it back up enough to remove the tab from the mag well, push the round to the back of the magazine, and repeat as necessary. Happy shooting!

this magazine loader works very good. My only issue with it is as you load a round you have to make sure when you remove the loader that you push the round the rest of the way into the magazine. It can slow you down a bit for speed loading.
