Should you use a speed loader when loading magazines?

Some people think you should never use a speed loader in training. The concern is you won’t have a speed loader when you are in a gunfight on the street, and you need to get used to loading all of your magazines free hand. We believe you need to occasionally demonstrate you have proficiency and loading your magazines, freehand. However, you should take advantage of technology during training and use a speed loader to reduce wear and tear on your hands. Regularly reconfirm you are proficient at freeloading but incorporate a speed loader in your training to reduce fatigue on your fingers.
