    Can't help you I'm afraid but I'd love to hear if anyone has a solution...

    Think there could be some demand for them around here.

    I might be able to 3D print one for you if you're interested in that? I'd need to look into it a bit more before I can say for sure though but from my quick google search, it seems like it's doable.

    Put me down for an 87T speed loader if you are doing one & there would be a big demand for Ruger pistol mag loaders aswell :)

    That's would be great. There is a company in the US called Turtlecreek products that have them on their website. I tried to order one but they won't ship outside the US If you want to have a look at it and see if your printer could run a couple off

    Any chance you can link me to the one that you were looking at? also, i'll need to get the dimensions of the magazine from you if that's possible, I should just need the thickness and width and maybe a picture or two of the top of the mag so I can design the tool to fit it properly

    https://www.turtlecreekproducts.com/gun_accessories.htm. You have to select beretta 87T from the drop down menu.

    Im going to assume its the Plate Loaders for Magazines with Loading Levers. If it is then this should doable, I just need the dimensions and a few pictures and I should be able to replicate that plate

    Yep that's the one. Pity they don't show you the specific one for the beretta but you can see the idea. I will have a scratch around this evening and see if I can get you some pics and dimensions.

    Have you tried HillJak, I order a couple for the S&W Victory, quality is 100% and shipping wasn't that expensive as they will ship using USPS, think the shipping was about $10-$12. Excellent service from them also.

    Turtlecreek sent me a mail after I ordered stating they couldn't ship outside USA because the item was subject to ITAR rules. I will try Hilljak and see how I get on. Thanks for the tip

    No luck with hilljak I'm afraid. Couldn't see one on their website so I sent them an email and got a reply that they don't do a speed loader for a beretta 87T

    Whereabouts are you based, I have Hilljak speed loaders and they have fit pretty much every single stack mag that I've tried. If you close you could try the loaders I have.

    Ok think I have this problem figured out. The mag follower has a set screw tapped in to it to take the force of the follower slamming home against the top of the mag. From the screw to the top of the follower there is 11mm of metal. I'm thinking of just drilling a 2mm hole just above the screw and using the 2mm drill bit as a "T" handle to pull the mag follower down for loading. Can't imagine taking 2mm from 11mm will weaken it that much.
