E-Mail 'Mag Pump 9mm Magazine Loader, by Pat Cascio' To A Friend

1. Just by looking at the design, I can see that as each round falls into the hopper, it is funneled to a point where the heaviest part of the round, being the projectile, is tilted downward by gravity. I’m assuming it should be mounted on a somewhat level surface for this to happen correctly, but after seeing how the empty mag is inserted, I can see that the weight of the bullet itself makes it fall in the proper downward position to the be loaded into the mag. A very simple and cool device indeed. Good call on this product Mr. Cascio.

2. I have wonder how market analysis came up with the idea to manufacture this product. No disrespect intended but this product seems to be a solution in search of a problem. I am an old coot with arthritis but even I can use a simple $8 speed loader including Glock 33-round 9mm magazines with 30 rounds.

3. Uplula. $20. geez.

   1. I agree. I’ve got various uplulas, they work great.

4. I admire the ingenuity and appreciate the engineering, but I think I agree with Roger D that the same ends are met with a dirt cheap uplula. Maybe if I were trying to load a thousand mags I could see it. Otherwise, it seems to be more of an (admittedly near) novelty item. Each their own though.

   1. Near = Neat. Fat fingered it 🙁

5. Thanks Pat, I appreciate your time and effort for each test you do. If it isn’t something I’m especially interested in so be it, but I do mentally file the info away for the possible future. Every test you do is done with favor for our community,nobody’s holding you hostage to do what you do. I’ll bet it’s done out of love and respect for the rest of us, so thanks again. I can’t afford alot of things that I would like on a fixed income, but that doesn’t mean I might not set aside a special savings account for it. If we are preparing for a shtf senario in our arms preps, then do we have the 25+ mags one might need in a defensive situation, loaded and ready to go? I do for one battle gun but not the rest. Being able to have a support person (possibly a youngster or an older person who’s not ready or able to be an active combatant ) and this product to quickly reload the half dozen mags for a weapon as soon as it’s empty, brilliant ! ! ! It might just make that critical force difference when it’s most needed.

6. Thank you Pat. Looks like a good product

7. Nice change in product review,can we look forward to a long term review to see how well it stands up to hard use?

8. Since they were introduced, I have used Uplula loaders for small (380) and large (9mm – 45ACP) calibers. They were a huge improvement over thumb-busting hand loading and continue to be for “at the pistol range” loading. Now I am interested in 9mm pistol-caliber carbines that will take 30-round magazines. Therein the difference. Thank the Lord for Father’s Day! My daughter and gun-buddy son-in-law bought me a 9mm Mag Pump that I didn’t even know was on the market.
   9mm ammo is cheap and I shoot plenty of it, but who wants to load a 30-round mag with even an Uplula, if something like the Mag Pump can orient the cartridges, keep your grimy hands off the ammo and seat the rounds at the back of the mag, quickly and reliably?
   IMO, this is a great improvement in the loading industry. When I build a 556, I will buy the rifle-caliber version of this clever device. Great invention – kudos.
