Apparatus and associated methods relate to a firearm speed loader comprising (a) an elongated tube assembly for holding one or more ammunition cartridges in a central lumen defined by a wall of the tube assembly and (b) an elongated aperture formed in the wall of the tube assembly. In an illustrative example, two grooves may be formed into the wall distal to a proximal end of the tube assembly. One or more cartridges may be inserted into the central lumen by aligning the rim of each cartridge with the grooves. A user may place a digit of a hand into the central lumen and urge the cartridges from the proximal end to a distal end of the tube assembly, thereby causing the cartridges to be pushed from the tube assembly into the firearm. Various embodiments may advantageously reduce a time necessary to reload a firearm magazine.

A firearm magazine tool including a core having a floor on its top, a channel rib on the core, a cavity, a frame surrounding the core and the cavity, a lever pin projecting from the core into the cavity, and a slider pin projecting orthogonally from the floor. The channel rib can be an elongate projection running a partial length of the core. The core can be inset within the frame such that two internal frame side walls and an internal frame end wall are at least partially exposed above the floor. The cavity can be located between the core and a lever wall, the lever wall being located on an opposite end of the frame than the internal frame end wall. The firearm magazine tool can be further comprised of a channel on a bottom surface of the core, wherein the channel rib is located in the channel.

A magazine base plate assembly including a base plate having opposing interior side walls with a base plate passage extending through the base plate, and wherein at least one opposing channel is formed within each of the opposing interior side walls; and a base plate insert that is slidably positioned within at least a portion of the base plate passage between a retracted position and an extended position within at least a portion of the base plate passage, wherein in the retracted position one or more of extending tabs extend from flexible tabs into at least a portion of each of the opposing channels, and wherein if each of the flexible tabs is urged a sufficient distance towards an internal insert chamber of the base plate insert, the extending tabs are withdrawn from the opposing channels, allowing the base plate insert to move toward the extended position.

A firearm magazine case that is sized to hold a stack of firearm magazines, which case includes a spring mechanism at one end such that the magazines are advanced within the case to a ready position as the magazines are extracted from the case and configured to be mounted on a person's front or side so that the magazines are reached with an easy and natural motion, whereby the case is contoured to a person's body and is configured such that magazines are able to be extracted in one step, yet are effectively protected from the environment, the case includes an attachment mechanism that allows the case to be mounted either horizontally or vertically, according to the user's preference, the case's attachment mechanism, which consists of an “x” shaped ridge or lip which coordinates to accept a triangular insert that is attached to a person's clothing, whereby sliding any side of the “x” down over the triangle attaches the case in a secure manner, yet allows the case to be quickly and easily detached and/or replaced with a new magazine dispenser, and the case is stackable (and perhaps joiningly stackable) with other cases.

A firearm magazine loader includes a housing and a magazine guide. The magazine guide is at least partially received within the housing. The magazine guide defines a magazine guide cartridge portal that is proximately aligned with a housing guide cover channel. The magazine guide coordinates the movement of a guide slide coupled to the housing. The magazine guide cartridge portal receives the firearm cartridge and the guide slide maneuvers the firearm cartridge into the firearm magazine.
