Does anyone make any type of loading assist device to work with Endomags? Loading Endomags is extremely hard on my thumbs. Particularly on the left-hand cartridge where the magazine lips are further down.

PODVAVACH loaders are cool.

I just use the Lula loaders. Very small, easy to store, but easy to lose too. I have one of their pistol mag loaders too.

LOL...yeah that is my old post:

I need to do a youtube video of this as it seems to come up often.  I searched before and couldn't find video when I looked in the past.

Posted: 1/6/2020 5:21:26 AM ESTI'm surprised nobody has posted about the bump/bounce method.


This is how I load all double feed mags.  This is one reason I prefer the Endomags over Glock mags since it is double feed.


You just need a hard surface to bounce the bottom of the mag on.  The more rounds in the mag, the easier it is since more rounds =  more inertia.  Just place a round on top and even with your finger just hold it there and then bounce the mag on a table or whatever and it loads with little to no thumb or finger pressure.


As my left hand is holding the mag, my left thumb is over the live round and bouncing it....while my right hand is grabbing more ammo.


Or you can use bounce with your left hand with your right thumb over the live round...whatever is convenient for you.


As a reloader, I don't bother to put my loaded ammo in ammo boxes orientated in any way.  The rounds are all loose.  Having loose rounds, I find the bump method just as fast as using a Maglula.  Both methods require you to orientate the round but the Maglula you have to drop the round in that little cavity.  I don't have to do that with the bounce method.  Best of all it is free and no tools required.


ETA...The Endomags are actually the easiest to bounce as the conical feed ramp guides the rounds into the mag....In other mags, after bouncing each round in, I would use my left thumb to push the round to the rear of the mag before bouncing the next one in.  That step is not necessary with the Endomags due to the feed ramp design.  Try it and see what you think.

NP.  Regarding the search.  I know it used to show up.  I wonder if it has to do with the recent change of hosting providers.
