Rumors from the SHOT show. I read someone was coming out with a new mag loader for Glock mags. The factory mag loader works fine for the 9mm mags, but I find I need more leverage when loading 45GAP mags.

Are you pushing on the loader with just your thumb or something?  The Glock loader works just fine for me in any caliber.  Just put the bottom of the magazine on a hard surface and you can use your entire hand for leverage on the loader if need be.

 Same here, the Glock loader is one of the few that works well.

Yes, the thumb got tired and had to resort to using your method. The 45GAP seems to have more spring tention vs. the 9mm.
