How to Use a Glock Speed Loader

The Glock speed loader is a tool created, ostensibly, to ease the loading of Glock magazines. If you are familiar with speed loaders created for revolvers, you get the impression that the Glock device is something that will take a procedure that can take a minute or so, and cut it down to a split second. Actually, the only real advantage to it is that it saves your fingers from getting pinched when loading the mags, and it is really a value as you get down to the last couple of rounds that you are packing in. This device comes in the case with new Glock pistols, and is available at Glock retailers for a very modest cost.
