I wouldn't load a single pistol mag without mine...

For AR mag loading get a Maglula.

They're worth every penny.

If you doubt their efficacy, borrow a friends if possible and you'll be a new convert...right then.
:iagree:
I used to think that the Uplula was an affectation for sissies. Then I tried one. Never looked back. I got one for my wife, in purple, for her single stack Walther.

My wife could not manipulate the slide on the Shield.
She chose a Walther PPS
