ETS Speed Loader for Glock 42 Ruger LCP SW Bodyguard Magazines .380 ACP

I gave this a 5 star review, but with that said that is because this is way cool. Got it a couple days ago, used it several times and has worked flawlessly (minus user errors🤣)Durability its a plastic composition and seems quite sturdy and don't think it will have a problem unless I create one for it. But only time will tell if the plastic holds up. As we all know some plastic holds up forever and some don't. I hope this one does.Value for money - I think it should be about $10.00 less, but I am cheap and this is plastic so a $20.00 price point is where I'm at but hey, I still bought it and I hope it last a long time.Sturdiness - very ridgid and seems Sturdy. Made from a single piece mold with a second pusher piece so 2 pieces in total. I dont think it will break if used as intended and can only see user mishandling as a cause fro breakages.Would I recommend - 👍yes, totally useful, easy to use, fast at reloading and a smart design, although it is a bit bulky. I would love to see a folding model come out that stores a little more compact.

Chambers single stack S&W 380, finicky loading if you don't have it dead center but does work. Will not chamber the SIG P365 .380 magazine. Did not try with other SIG mags. Disappointing to say the least as the sig was the one giving me a hard time loading. To much hassle to return. I'll keep in case I get another double stack .380. Would be nice if manufacturer would put in the description that it doesn't work for that model.

Being able to load up to 10 rounds, in one application is amazingly easy. Not as small in your range bag, as an UpLula, but for this, I'll make room.

Didn`t fit my weapon.

The chute needs to be refined for the smaller size of 380 rounds, but with a little practice it seems to be somewhat reliable. If the loader isn't handled just right, the rear of the loading round is likely to get caught on the tip of the round or the edge of the casing below it, or worse, rotate into a vertical position in the chute. If all rounds aren't loaded in a single fast push/pull, the remaining rounds will probably jam. Lubing the chute like their site suggests didn’t help. Make sure the mag is inserted all the way. Check ammo for damage. I think I pushed the lead on one round a few mm into the shell by applying too much force to a jammed load. What seemed to help the most to prevent jamming is to hold the loader horizontally with the rounds pointing up. It’s a little easier to apply more force pushing/pulling that way too. I can see this being great with longer rounds/casings, but with little 380s the loader needs to be manufactured perfectly to handle the alignment and possible movement of smaller rounds, and this one isn't. I'm going to play with it a little more and make sure I have a technique that works somewhat consistently, but unfortunately might need to end up getting a lula. Using Remington 380 fmj in a Taurus OEM 6-round mag and a 10-ruond Pro Mag.

I love the way this device loads shells with one single push.After using these for a while on my .380 and 9MM, these are the best speed loaders I have ever seen. Make sure you follow the instructions, and apply just the right amount of lubricant where they tell youYou won't be disappointed.

This is my second ETS loader. After being frustrated with the 9mm version, I discovered the need to lubricate the loader before using. The .380 version was still very difficult to make work until I actually sprayed the magazines with a little lube as well. I think I will eventually see it more enjoyable after a break in period.

I was really hoping the replacement worked out . It did not not work with my Glock 42 .380. I watched the video several times, read the instructions . I was only able to load 2-3 bullets max & then it got stuck. I bought an uplula which worked AMAZING & No issues .I ordered a red one for my husband's 9mm which also did not worj with brass bullets , he did get it to work with steel bullets with very little issue. But the speed loader was more for me & my tiny kid hands . I was so bummed I could not use this .
