Works Well
The Magpump works better than I expected. Occasionally a round goes get hung up and you have to clear the jam, but overall, so far loading 33 round Glock magazines I am impressed. Also make sure you work the handle all the way down and up. It runs better once you get a cadence going.

Don't bother
Simply sucks, using default 9mm Glock magazines the rounds get stuck tight inside the shaft all the time so you need to take off the pins and use a screw driver or similar tool to poke the stuck rounds out of it. Threw it to the bin, never again.
worth the effort
While far from perfect, the Mag Pump will save time. I often load 8 or more 20 round mags at a time at the range. It’s hard work. Even with a speed loader, like the UpLULA.
My first experience with the Mag Pump wasn’t great. It jammed on me and I had to pull out the pins and clear it all out. Refusing to give up so easily, I mounted it to a small sort of pallet I made out of 2x4s. The experience was immediately improved.
I noticed that the biggest problem was rounds jamming up in the throat of the hopper. If you don’t see rounds sliding down through the window cut out on the side of the machine, it’s a good indicator the hopper is clogged. I found that overloading the hopper causes this to happen. It’s easy to clear when this happens. It’s not a show stopper. The next problem is not having the magazine firmly inserted causing it to jam up inside the machine when you try to pump in the next round. This is a more serious problem often requiring removal of the hopper to clear the jam. It helps to hold the magazine firmly with your free hand while operating the pump lever with the other. I don’t experience this problem often since learning this trick.
Bottom line is it takes some practice and little patience. Once you master the machine’s idiosyncrasies, even the occasional jam is still well worth the time savings. I can usually get through my 8 or more magazines without a major problem.
