Description
If you're putting rounds downrange regularly, reloading magazines can wear out your hands fast. The Butler Creek ASAP takes the strain out of the process with a straightforward design that reduces fatigue while keeping the workflow smooth. Push the loader down, drop a round below the feed lips, and raise it back up. That's it. One motion per round, and your magazine gets loaded.
What Makes This Loader Stand Out
This double stack design covers a wide caliber range from .380 ACP all the way up to .45 ACP, so whether you're using Glock 9mm mags, S&W M&P, XD(M), or any other common double-stack platform, the same tool works across your collection. The black polymer construction is lightweight and built to handle heavy range use without breaking down. Most folks find it breaks in after a few rounds of use and then operates smooth like butter. Built right here in the USA.
Getting the Most Out of Your ASAP
The loader does best when you give it a minute to settle in first. New out of the box, the mechanism takes a little use before it reaches peak smoothness. Test it on your specific mags before relying on it for a big range day, especially with high-capacity mags that have sloped baseplates, where some folks notice it needs an extra push on the last few rounds. Once you dial in the technique, your hands will thank you for not pinching and cranking rounds in manually all day long.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this ASAP loader work with my specific gun brand?
The loader is designed for most double-stack magazines from .380 ACP through .45 ACP, which covers common brands like Glock, S&W M&P, Springfield XD(M), and many others. Test it on your magazines first to confirm compatibility, especially with high-capacity or sloped baseplate designs where you might find it needs a bit more pressure on the final rounds.
Does the loader need a break-in period?
Yes. When you first get it, the mechanism is tight and might feel sticky. Give it a few rounds of use and it loosens up significantly, operating much smoother after that initial session. This is normal and expected with new polymer loaders.
How does this loader reduce hand fatigue?
Instead of cranking rounds into a magazine with thumb pressure, the ASAP does the work for you. You push the loader down, insert the round, and raise it back up. This simple repeating motion spreads the effort across your hand differently than manual loading, which really shows over a high-round-count range day.
Can I use the ASAP for both 9mm and .45 ACP?
Yes. This is a universal double-stack loader that covers .380 ACP all the way to .45 ACP, so it works across all common pistol calibers in that range, including 9mm, 10mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP.
