Is this speed loader made because it is illegal to transport loaded magazines while on your way to the range?

I cannot speak for the manufacturer but I believe it was made to simply help load the magazine easier and in a shorter amount of time.

In my State, Ammo and Weapons have to live in different locations for the car ride. I usually have a grab bag of range gear(ammo, cleaning supplies)behind the seat, gun in the trunk. Sometimes AMMO in the trunk, Big A$$ targets behind me, gun on the floor behind seat and range bag. Sometimes I have full mags(Out of gun reach), but I believe the "Law is to never have them available at the same time", which I comply to. If in doubt remove the BOLT put it on your dash. Check your local laws, you'll be fine. Oh Yeah and this one, never, never, never, ever cross State Lines without "Complete Full Knowledge" of there laws.

Some ranges I go to require empty magazines so you can't load a head of time. With the speed loader, you can load the magazine in a couple of minutes once you get there.

I don't know where you live, but where I live, it's perfectly legal to carry loaded magazines, even inserted into the rifle or pistol. The main reason these loaders are made as far as I can tell is it saves your fingers and thumbs, and makes an infuriating task a pleasant one.

As far as I know, it is not illegal to carry loaded magazines on your way to the range. As long as they are kept in a locked container with or without the gun, but not within the firearm itself. I would look up the law for your area to be sure though!

These loaders were designed by the IDF (Israeli Defense Force) and are standard issue to Israeli troops. They were created in order to load 5.56 magazines almost faster than you can drop a handful of rounds back into the box one at a time. Highly recommended if you are loading magazines from bulk boxes of loose ammo.

That's up to you - these were made to make a tedious task actuly fun. Not mention u can empty a mag in seconds if your in the habit of keeping mags full and rotating them.

The short answer is yes, but this speed loader is chambered for five rounds. That wouldn't do you much good...

Yes, it has a speed loader mag and an opening side. My son really likes this M16.

Yes, I was able to use a speed loader on my Model 66, which is the same K frame. Same size gun that is.

No, it's not man. There is a model for pellets though. These are nice guns. If you buy / or have bought one, do the following:I agree with Robert ..........get yo'self a bunch of extra "bullets" (that hold the BBs), and for sure for sure, some speed loaders!! Dump out 6 emptys & in one motion load 6 full ones.....Bam!Happy air-shootin' ---be safe.

No. The speed loader is a device which enables the user to apply greater leverage to the magazine follower thus allowing the rounds to be loaded easier. Picture this, instead of using the next round to depress the follower then sliding said round into the magazine it pushes the already loaded round down allowing the next round to be loaded more easily. Hope this helps.

I do not sell speed loaders. But I did get one for the LCR 38 and do like using it.

No, it won't work with speed loaders (I tried). I purchased a pair of speed strips (no. 580 for the 38 caliber) that i use instead.

It is a very good way to store and transport loaded magazines, perhaps to the range (which what I use it for). It provides protection to the magazine lips and makes it very easy to get at a magazine loaded with specific rounds. I like it.Dale

No, but there aren't really speed loaders for air soft that I have seen. Since it is all spring loaded clips and such.

Yes. In the middle of a 30 round course of fire the tube migrated down and stopped me from changing mags by folding up in the magazine well. Since then Ive trimmed a bit off the front and applied an adhesive to stop the migration. Going to the range again soon. We'll see.

Yes. Although this is not a high quality case it is OK for transporting firearms to and from range. Also the foam linings do not securely hold the firearm in place.

You could, but all the outside compartments are specifically designed for a shooters needs. For the price you could probably find something cheaper to haul books in. Check Hobby Lobby, they have a similar product for scrap booking that is much cheaper because it's not designed to haul guns and ammo.

Its for a 6 shot the description is wrong, check out the hks 587-a speed loader.

Have another look at the sled. there is a bar that runs from the front rifle rest to the rear rifle rest that is above the tray that holds the weights. This bar will interfere with long mags but the weight tray is below the bar and offers not impediment to the rifle..

NO. It only hold 7 rounds so a loader is not goning to be a lot faster. Do make sure to get some good .20g bbs for it. The included ones are pretty subpar.

Don't know...I can carry lock and load with no problem. Don't know why they suggest we don't.
