Product ReviewsETS Elite Tactical Systems C.A.M. Magazine Loader Black 9mm AND .40 ETSCAM-9-40

Great item!

Works like a dream especially for females who struggle with their loading of their magazines. I loaded 15 magazines in less than 5 minutes! You must oil them & make sure you have the magazine in place correctly lined up. It takes quite a push of your hand , I use the counter as leverage. Sit at edge of a counter when scooping up the rounds much easier than standing up. That was my trick, & once I did that easy as pie! I used 9mm S & W magazines. (The only one I have anyways are all S & W) would never have any other type of brand anyways! ! S & W is the best! Read full review...

Stuck on it

This is a great "invention. It does,however present some problems that I need to overcome. I just opened the package three days ago,watched two videos that made it look so simple. At first I forgot to oil it up and the loading was a disaster. Subsequent loads apparently got stuck and did not make it to the magazine. Ladt night I tried it again and was successful in two out of three tries with the ammo getting stuck again. I know that in theory this will work in my 43x but it is going to take a lot of practice.Read full review...

Break it in and it works great!!

I had watched a couple of video's on this product and thought even if it doesn't perform as well as I wanted it to I only out $25.00
When I received the loader I watched the video again and followed the instructions to the letter, oiling all the key points and on my first try it took everything I had to get it to work. I pulled the mag out with only 7 rounds loaded and found a small area of plastic flashing that looked like it could be holding things up a bit. I re-oiled that spot but was still very hard to press the bullets in. I wound up taking a small file and filing a few strokes of that plastic corner. I then loaded only 5 rounds and they went in the mag much easier. After 4 or 5 loadings this thing works perfect! I can load a 17 round mag in a short order. I am very pleased with this loader and will get the rifle version soon.Read full review...

Watch the company video!!!

Make sure you watch the video the company created. It really important you put a little gun oil where they recommend of you want it work properly. This allows the bullets to glide through he loader and not stick on the plastic. It will make a world of difference. Still not as easy as they demonstrate, but still faster and easier than hand loading especially if you shoot often. Read full review...

What a useless autoloader...

"Works with all 9mm, including single stack!"

Does NOT work with Ruger EC9S, Walther P38, or Beretta M9 (15 round).

3 for three fails.

Should not be sold as the second coming of speed loaders and nearly universal when it cannot even load the Ruger and Beretta (both VERY common guns).

Yes, I got the magazine fully inserted (not easy to do, at all, tons of friction), yes, it is facing the correct direction, yes it is aligned with the feed ramp of the autoloader. Yes, I have the baseplate of the magazine resting on a hard, stable, flat surface while trying to get this hot garbage to do its job.

Did I get a bad one?

This thing is worthless.

This thing loads alright, it loads BS.

Doesn't seem to like S&W mags.

I have a S&W M&P9c. Five of my magazines (3-12rd, 2-17rd) are S&W and one (17rd) is from a different manufacturer (with an obviously weaker spring). On the S&Ws I can only load five rounds at a time or the loader jams at the first round - sometimes it even jams with 5 or less. However, I have been able to load the non-S&W mag with a full 10 round load - but sometimes even this mag jams at the first round. I do follow the directions precisely and have experimented with alternatives but so far no success.

It is still faster then one round at a time and time may improve the situation.
CONCLUSION: mixed. I got a discount price so I'm not too upset, but had I paid $30 I would have returned it.Read full review...

Works great for 9mm. Not so much for .40 S&W

It works pretty well with all my double stack 9mm mags, it sorta works with my single stack 9mm mags, but will probably be faster loading them by hand. Now let's get to my .40 cal. There is not enough oil in Saudi Arabia to get these things to go through, I could barely get one bullet out of this thing without the magazine even being in it. I do recommend this for 9mm. I do not for one second recommend this for your .40 caliber of any kind.Read full review...

Just a bad product

The loader simply does not work with HK P30 magazines. How is that possible??? That is a not a Vietnamese magazine from 1930.
With CZ magazines sometimes I cannot get the last round in.
It does work with SW SD9VE magazines.
Getting the magazine in the loader is a pain in the proverbial.
The build of the loader is cheap and imprecise plastic with sharp edges.
The rail for bullets narrows at the end so you need an extra, extra push to get the bullets in.
Just go and buy 2-3 Starbuck coffees, and keep using your maglula uplula.

The more I try to use this loader with different magazines, the more it does not work. PURE JUNK.Read full review...

ETM CAM loader

The video I watched never mentioned that Glock mags would be an issue. Hard to get in and near impossible to get back out. G17 and G19 were tried. If you worked at it long enough it would come out and dump top round on floor. I ended up have to file away most of the internal bumps that grip the mag. Still not great however does work. Not what I expected from the video. Would not ever buy another or recommend anyone too.Read full review...

Does the job

Watched U tube video and took a chance. Happy with the product but it's not quite as easy to use. As demonstrated but I was able to fully load Glock 9mm mags with a bit of effort. Postage is very high though.Read full review...
