So... you hate loading AR15 magazines? The question is how much do you hate it. One of the most innovative products I saw at SHOT Show this year was the MITUSA Mag-Pump AR15 magazine loader which can load rounds into the magazine almost as fast as you can fire your AR.
As a high volume shooter, I will say that toward the end of the shooting day my thumbs begin to hurt from all the reloading. Also when I have a fresh batch of mags to load up before range day, I have come down with numb thumb. Don’t be a victim of numb thumb, buy the MITUSA Mag-Pump AR15 Magazine Loader. This $389 loader easily loads your magazines with just a flick of a lever all without worrying about the orientation of the rounds in the hopper.
FIT, FINISH, FEEL, FEATURES, & FUNCTIONS
The MITUSA Mag-Pump AR15 Magazine Loader is not cheap at $389, however it does deliver top quality fit and finish. It is actually superbly made from steel, billet aluminum and Delrin components. The entire unit can be fully disassembled via two quick release pins and slipped into a standard 50 caliber ammo can. The unit can break down flat, however the main three components are the hopper, the loader and the base plate.
Where I see the MITUSA Mag-Pump AR15 Magazine Loader being a huge success is at 3Gun matches, NFA shoot offs, and for high volume shooters. Just like my McFadden Ultimate Cliploader for single stack .22LR pistol magazines and Butler Creek 10/22 Magazine reloader, this is the answer to shooting more at the range and spending less time reloading.
From an operational perspective it works great and even my 15 year old son figured it out in a matter of seconds without any instruction. I will note that you cannot just throw rounds into the hopper to save time, the rounds need to be at least lined up - orientation tip front or tip back does not matter. Sometimes that works however usually you will find that it prevents the rounds from loading smoothly. I have found that the fastest way to load the hopper is just slide in a full box of ammo into the hopper or quickly line up rounds in my hand.
The loader will feed any .223, 5.56 cased ammo which includes .300 Blackout and is compatible with all AR15 spec magazines.
FINAL THOUGHTS
This is one of those awesome products that you hope takes off and becomes a high volume production inexpensive injection molded products that everyone can afford. Right now it may not be sitting on the shelves of your local sporting goods store, however it is available direct from MITUSA. As is this is not for everyone at $389, however there will still be a lot of folks who will buy one. I can see these being sold to every indoor range in the US as well as potentially in the military. Not only does the MITUSA Mag-Pump AR15 Magazine Loader prevent Numb Thumb, it delivers a speedy and reliable option for keeping your AR15 fed.
