Anyone done business with TACNATION-USA


Recommended Posts

They sell 9mm speed loaders for rifle and pistol mags. Thinking of getting one or two but want to check to see if they are legit. They accept credit cards only, which I think is smart, but do not show location or address. I have added a link for you inspection. Thanks.

A brief search came up with "Scam detector" giving them a 58% rating and this was on Reddit:

 

 

Avoid the Tacnation speed loader (poorly made ETS clone)

So I saw an Instagram ad for a speed loader I had never seen a couple weeks ago, and it looked awesome. Loads a 10rd mag in ~5 seconds with ease, perfect for the range.

 

I saw comments on the ad that said good things, so I bought it. Week and a half later I get it, and it doesn’t work.

 

Reached out to the company via email about refund/replacement, but I think I’m gonna do a refund because the more I look into this company the more I see it’s just a poorly made clone of the ETS CAM loader (which actually works). They even use a photo of the ETS CAM loader on their main instagram page.

 

I also found this YouTube video that perfectly describes the issue: filled with comments of people that have the exact same issue: https://youtu.be/a8tkigop8VY?si=0hEHpVqoEwc4mR0j - I’ll post my own sometime soon.

 

Long story short: go with ETS, save yourself the hassle (and some money).

If you'd prefer, the ETS Mag Speed-Loader is sold on Amazon.  I found out that these multi-round speed loaders require significant force.

I have the UpLULA magazine loader and love it.  With their adapter it works on single stack 1911 mags as well as double stack magazines. Not as fast as the ETS Cam Loader but it easily fits into my cart for WB and in my small range bag for practice days.

One down side to the ETS loader is it is designed to work with rounds in factory boxes. Being as 99% of the 45 ACP I shoot are reloads and almost all the 9mm I shoot is bought in bulk, it doesn't look like it would really speed up the process that much.

UpLULA is my favorite loader for my Glock Magazines. 
 

I bought one for the Glock 44 .22 LR I had but it wouldn’t work on those mags.

Don't know anything about TACNATION - USA. 

 

However

The UpLula work great for all of my mags 9mm and over.

 

The 10/22 mag loader is an excellent loader also.

The rotary mags and the 25rnd mags snap into the loader and loading the mags is easy as pie.

 

These are great for the Ruger Mk guns, Colt Woodsman and many other mags with the protruding button on the mag.

Well I guess now you can assume a Uplula is good, pretty much nothing on your vendor! :lol:

I can see why you’re suspicious. I tried looking for their address through their webpage and got zilch. 

In doing a search I found their Facebook link that says they’re in Salt Lake City.

I cannot find a physical address for them. They are not listed in the BBB.

 

This doesn’t mean they aren’t legit, but it sure is odd. If I wouldn’t have found positive info on this company I wouldn’t buy from them either. 
I would contact them through their webpage and ask for their physical address.

Thanks Pat, Not being able to find that info put up a red flag so I think I will take a look  at the ETS and upLULA.

Thanks to everyone else for your input.
