The HKS Model 380 Magazine Speedloader is a manual, handheld cam-lever loader designed specifically for .380 ACP (9×17mm Short) double-stack handgun magazines. Constructed from high-impact moulded polymer with internal metal depressor and pivot hardware, this non-powered accessory bypasses thumb fatigue by depressing the magazine follower or loaded cartridge with a thumb-operated lever. It functions entirely free-hand, allowing shooters to reload double-stack magazines without placing the unit on a bench or flat surface.

Key Features

• Cam-Action Thumb Depressor: Uses a mechanical top-mounted lever to push down the magazine spring, eliminating thumb strain during repetitive loading.
• Free-Hand Operation: Operates entirely while held in the hand without requiring a tabletop, bench, or secondary support surface.
• Rapid Loading Rate: Depresses the follower smoothly to allow loading up to 15 rounds in approximately 18 seconds.
• Durable Construction: Built with a high-impact polymer body and metal internal hardware for long-term range use.
• Non-Powered Mechanical Design: Requires no batteries, electrical power, or chargers for operation.

Who is the HKS Model 380 Magazine Speedloader for?

• Target shooters using .380 ACP double-stack handguns — eliminates direct thumb pressure on stiff magazine springs by using a cam lever to cycle and seat up to 15 rounds in approximately 18 seconds.
• Sport shooting practitioners conducting high-volume training sessions — accelerates bench staging times for double-stack pistol magazine speedloaders by sustaining a loading pace of up to 15 rounds in approximately 18 seconds without requiring a flat support surface.

Less suitable for: Single-stack .380 ACP or single-stack 9mm magazines, as well as wider double-stack 9mm Luger or .40 S&W magazines; these configurations require dedicated single-stack narrow-body loaders or larger-calibre double-stack magazine speedloaders designed for standard 9mm and .40 cases.
