This may not be helpful for your situation, but one thing we see is that people are in the habit of sliding a round into position from the front of the magazine like they do for single-feed pistol magazines (i.e., Glock mags, etc). This CAN work for the EndoMag, but we think it's more difficult. Because it is a double-feed magazine, we find it easier to load the EndoMag by pushing each round straight down, just like loading a 5.56 magazine. |

With all due respect, thank you for providing an explanation as to why MEAN Arms has not released any form of loading aid. That said, I do wish to point out that the Uzi 9mm magazine is also a double feed magazine that can be loaded completely manually via straight downward pushing of the ammo; but no fewer than six different loading aids have been produced, and some of them are still readily available, and I believe extensively used. https://www.uzitalk.com/reference/pages/magloaders.htm MHO, YMMV, etc. |

Uzi mags, though, are tough to load by hand and I usually use one of the maglula loaders. https://iwi.us/product/uzi-9mm-lula-magazine-loader-and-unloader/
