Here is the solution for loading Colt pattern mags:

The Maglula loader works like a charm. Well worth the price to save your thumbs.
Very interesting to know about the mags. I'm looking to build or buy a 9mm AR and was looking at Glock mag ones only. Part of the reason is because I have a Glock 17, so mags are interchangeable. Now if someone could point me in the direction of a reasonable priced 9mm AR or a complete kit and/or parts kit...
I have the 9mm insert from PSA but I don't think they sell them any longer. I had to drill and tap the front of the mag well and put a set screw in to hold the insert in place. It has worked great for many trips to the range. The upper is also a PSA product as well as a heavy buffer. Come to think of it so are two of the magazines. I'm really happy with this set-up. Wish I could find another one of those inserts to have as a spare.
