Benefits of technology

The present invention is a magazine loader that includes a movable elongated mechanism to hold the rim or flange of cartridges. This allows for one-way insertion of cartridges into a magazine loader. The device may contain a plurality of rimlock components to prevent small cartridges from dislodging from a slide way. The rimlock component is primarily triangular and allows for smooth insertion of ammunition. In some embodiments, the rimlock may include segmented rimlock pieces that can accommodate tapered cartridges. The mechanism allows for easy and quick toothless removal and operation of the adapter and allows for one-handed ambidextrous operation. Multiple magazine adapters may be provided whereby magazines of different specifications may be used with the magazine loader. The technical effects of the invention include improved reliability and efficiency in loading ammunition.
