There are actually quite a lot of Glock speed loaders that you can choose from online. While price can be a factor in your decision, speed loaders shouldn’t cost you much money in general. We believe the biggest deciding factor in choosing the best Glock speed loaders is whether or not you have other pistols you’ll want to use a speed loader for. Choosing between a universal or a custom speed loader is the best way to get a cost-efficient product.

Buyer’s Guide to the Best Glock Speed Loaders

These are some things you need to consider before purchasing a 9mm speed loader.

Correct Type of Speed Loader

The first step is to ensure that you use the appropriate speed loader for the magazine and caliber. You don’t want to have anything too big or small because this could cause operation and loading rounds issues. Don’t assume a speed loader is ubiquitous because it’s labeled that.

Check the Durability

Durability is the second factor. In general, you do get what you pay for. So if you’re choosing a magazine loader, you might choose something dependable and durable.

Reliability

Finally, pick an option that fits your needs. This means you should get something you can squeeze rather than push down if you are not particularly strong or have hand arthritis. On the other hand, if you are strong and have no problems using your hands, you can be more flexible in finding something that suits you well.

The main thing to remember is just getting something—you’ll need it, and your hands will appreciate it.

Glock Magazine Speed Loader

Materials — The Glock Magazine Speed Loader for 9mm Mags is the only option within this review that is actually manufactured by Glock. Of course, there is also an option available made by Glock for your 10mm weapons. However, this 9mm option will obviously be the more commonly purchased one.

The design is factory bulk packed, but it’s made with the same Glock polymer the company uses on its weapons and other accessories. The sides have a raised texture, so your hands won’t slip if they happen to be a little sweaty. This 9mm option will work with most Glock models, including 17, 19, 22, 23, 25, 26, 27, 28, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 37, 38, and 39.

Performance — This speed loader is a tool that allows you to load rounds quickly and efficiently. One of the best things about Glock speed loading is how quick and simple it is to use. Once you acquire a grip on how to use this equipment, you won’t need to put in as much effort to line up the rounds in the tray. It will still save you time overloading them one by one. This speed loader works great as range magazines making it a valuable addition to your gun and very useful.  

What we say — The Glock Magazine Speed Loader is a fantastic choice. It is simple to use without any parts that might break, and it is very affordable. This is the speed loader for you if you want to make the magazine loading process as simple as possible.

RAE Industries Double Stack Magazine Loader

Materials — The RAE Industries Double Stack Magazine Loader is a highly demanded option online, and it happens to be offered in a variety of colors including black, blue, glow in the dark, nuclear green, orange, pink, purple, ruby red, and yellow. While not necessarily universal, it fits a variety of bullet diameters from 9mm/ .35 caliber to 11.43mm/ .45 caliber.

It should be compatible with all Glock models but, if you own other pistols, some popular styles it works with are Beretta, Colt, Luger, Ruger, Sig, S&W, Taurus, Walther, and a handful of others. Very little force is required with this option, so delicate (or at least not forceful) hands are all that are required to utilize it.

Performance — The RAE Industries Double Stack Magazine Loader, while not totally universal, is pretty dang close to being universal. At the minimum, it should have your Glocks covered. We appreciate the slimmer design than some other speed loaders, simply because it’s easier to hold and store away.

The construction is certainly more stable than many other plastic or polymer loaders. The color options aren’t really important to us, but that could be fun for some (glow in the dark, anyone?). Despite the sturdier construction, the manufacturers do point out that not a lot of force is needed, and we agree with them.

What we say — The RAE Industries Double Stack Magazine Loader is one of the best Glock speed loaders for those who prefer a slimmer design and are hoping to get more use out of their purchase with other pistols.

MakerShot Custom Magazine Speedloader

Materials — The MakerShot Custom Magazine Speedloader is similar in appearance to the previous option (minus the selection of wild colors, it only comes in black). However, this one is custom-made to your specific Glock model instead of touting it as universal or near-universal.

Currently, the available models of this speed loader are for Glock 17, 19, 21, 22, 23, 27, 30, 34, 35, 36, 42, and 43. Simply put your 9mm, .40, and .380 caliber Glocks. You will get an incredibly smooth experience since every speedloader is fit for your handgun. The construction is made of a tough polymer, as opposed to a more flimsy plastic, and the shape is fairly ergonomic as well.

Performance — The MakerShot Custom Magazine Speedloader seems almost exactly like the RAE Industries option but is much more unique to your Glock. You’re receiving a custom fit guaranteed to be perfect for your handgun, but you also have to purchase more than one if you want a speedloader for more than one firearm. That point aside, the construction is more stable than the polymer Glock option at the beginning of this review. Sorry, guys, no fun colors to pick from here, but we think you’ll manage.

What we say — The MakerShot Custom Magazine Speedloader is the best Glock magazine loader for those who only require this tool for maybe one or two pistols. Otherwise, your shopping cart will get really expensive really fast.

Maglula UpLula Universal Pistol Magazine Loader

Materials — The Maglula UpLula Universal Pistol Magazine Loader is easily one of the most popular and well-reviewed speed loaders on the market today. It is also one of the only truly universal options you can purchase. The construction is made of plastic, and it’s only available in black.

This option works for both single stack and double stack loading and is advertised to be compatible with all 9mm, 10mm, .357, .40, and .45 magazines, as well as all 1911 mags. Using it doesn’t even require you to press their bullets in. You only need to drop it in place. This option is a fitting shape to be pushed into a pocket and carried with the user wherever needed.

Performance — We had to include the Maglula UpLula Universal Pistol Magazine Loader in this review because it is clearly the most popular online. With over tens of thousands of positive reviews, we’ll put in our two cents too. This is the only option within this review that is really universal.

If you own multiple pistols or even multiple Glocks, then this is the best choice for you. We don’t like how significantly more expensive this option is — it’s almost twice as much (or more) as all the other speed loaders we’ve considered. We suppose it’s worth the money if you get the proper use out of it. This option worked pleasantly well with all the Glocks we tested it out on, so no complaints on the function.

What we say — The Maglula UpLula Universal Pistol Magazine Loader is the best choice for those who are going to get their money’s worth and use it with more than one or two pistols.

Our Favorite Glock Speed Loader

All of these are good Glock speed loaders, and if one catches your eye, then go with that one. My top pick is the Glock Magazine Speed Loader. I like the simplicity of this one with virtually no extra parts that can jam or break. While almost 1/2 the price of the Maglula, it is only one or two more dollars than the others. I personally think that is worth it to get the branded product for my beloved Glock.
