Bear Flag Defense Speedloaders?

One of my friends has one. He says it works well, but he can't load as fast as they do in the videos.
I have 3. Also a Mean Arms one. The Bear Flag are much better. I had issues getting the speed and also had problems getting the 10th round to seat at first. Then I read that they strongly suggest using Lancer mags. So I ordered one and swapped out the mag and sense then they work 100% perfectly every time. It's just as fast as a mag change.

Looks pretty damn slick!!!! Wish they made lefties and different calibers. I'd buy a bunch!!! Curse that asshole every time I break open to reload.

They work perfect for lefties. The rifle is already in your left hand. Either way you are holding the rifle with your left and inserting the loader with your right.
They work with .223,5.56 and .300 BLK. Also I remember seeing that one of the companies also offers a loader for .308 I believe or one of those other popular calibers.

I'm not saying it can't be done quickly or effectively, but in no way even as an amateur shooter myself can anyone right now load one of these faster than I can do a regular mag change on an AR.

The device does not work with a left handed AR and will not work on any configuration otherthan a standard mil spec upper. I will work with .223, .300 BO and, not sure, but most probably will work with any cartridge based on a necked up .223.
Curses, foiled again. Guess I'll just make righties with ambidexterous safeties.

I have both brands. The bear brand has grips on the outside. The Mean has a thumb hole integrated. I have to set my gun on the shooting table to use the loaders.

Any advice on which model Lancer to get?

Works good, expensive and huge though.
Lmao there is no way these are just as fast as a standard mag change. Yes they are a decent option for us stuck in shit states but to try and say "it's just as fast as a mag change" you are just lying to yourself

I've got a BF loader, I like it for what it is and what it's trying to do/overcome.

I got mine from Midway USA for $15.
Lancer Systems L5 AWM Advanced Warfighter Magazine
Expensive, yes, but allows you to keep a fully functional AR and load it quickly and easily. It's the same size as a standard 30 round mag and will fit in mag pouches designed for them.
You might want to swap out to a Lancer mag. Before I installed mine I could not get all 10 rounds and even sometimes only 7 or 8 rounds to load. And that was with me pushing as hard and fast as possible. With the Lancer installed it loads super fast and smooth with almost no force at all. I can reload mid-air 1 handed in a matter of about 2 seconds.
This is right from Bear Flag:
WILL THE BF-10™ WORK WITH (INSERT MAGAZINE NAME HERE)?
Yes. We designed the BF-10™ to work with any standard magazine (gi, magpul, lancer, etc). We have had issues with HexMags, and do not recommend them for use with the BF-10™. Some customers have had success, but others have not, we believe this is due to inconsistencies in manufacturing from batch to batch. We highly recommend Lancers, as the steel lips and smooth movement of the followers make the BF-10™ require less force to load.
