You really think ammo companies spend the money to get loaders installed and working...then just let them sit idle?

Maybe they are switching from one to three shifts?

Magazine loaders work great at the range. For combat should it ever come to that you will need a lot of magazines. You will want to go into a gunfight with plenty then you may not come out with all of your mags. You will need more to replace the ones lost in the first fight. For handguns you not only should have spare magazines but also a spare gun.

I'd rather have 2 guns with 4-6 mags total and a speed-loader than to have 1 gun with 10-20 mags... I don't plan on being in a gunfight, let alone one that requires 9+ mag changes. Even in a "bug-out" & "teotwaki" scenario I think more total guns with less total mags wins because in that scenario I would have a mag-loading-assistant to work the speed-loader. If I can't hold down the fort with multiple guns and 4 mags per gun, and a mag-loading assistant, then the zombies have won and I'm not so sure I want to be the last non-zombie on earth.
Of course this is IMO considering I don't own any of the "popular" guns with $6-$12 mags. If you're talking about a $1200 AR15 and loading up on $8 mags then knock yourself out, but of you're talking about a $580 FNX-9 with $44 magazines I don't think the 10-20 mags "rule" makes any sense.
