In one word: Uplula
I’d start and stop right there.
I have several in various calibers and all work fine.
I prefer the ones from ETS. https://www.etsgroup.us/ETS-Group-C-A-M-Loader-p/etscam-9-40.htm
That's pretty cool. I don't load out of a box so I would lose that feature but I can see it's allure.
Get the uplulu first since it works for all bullet types and more magazine types.
Get the EPS next if you sometimes load from boxes. Beware it only works on double stack mags in 9mm and .40. Mine required some use to break in before it worked well. Also follow the directions and use a dab of oil as directed. These work great for 9mm ball ammo, some HP defense ammo and not at all for Falderal Syntech ammo (poly coated).
I also have a SPEED BEEZ® Lever Loader and it works ok but I'm not a fan compared to the uplulu. It is on my pile of unused things I tried.

UplulaSchool me on speedloaders for pistols.
Have never used one, but age and heaver springs in mags has increased the difficulty of loading them.
There seem to be simple ones that just push down the bullets, and more complex mechanical ones with levers and such.
What works and what doesn't?
