UpLula pistol mag loader

[Retired Guy]

I have a couple of these for my 9mm mags. Definitely a "must have" for arthritic hands.

I also have the one for .22 pistol mags. It looks just like a sliding tab. I also find it very useful.

I especially recommend the one for AR mags. I recently took a carbine course that would involve expending about 800+ rounds. That Maglula loader for ARs was spectacular! Once you get the hang of it, loading and unloading mags was a breeze. A couple of guys in the class tried my loader out and went out that evening to get their own.

I do too. But it wasn't until reading this thread that I remembered that. I bought one a couple of months ago but was loading my SA-35 magazines the old fashion way last weekend. I remember looking forward to trying that UpLULA out, only to forget I had it. Man, it's tough getting old.

Very tough.

I apply the old reading glasses principle to the Uplula.
Just have one wherever you might need it.
I think I'm up to about 8 now and at any given time I might be able to find 4.

Very tough.

It gets worse my friend. I was out shooting with my wife on Tuesday. I pulled the UpLula out of my gear bag and could not for the life of me figure out how to load the SA-35 magazines with it. Guess I'll be headed to Youtube to see how it's done.

I have a few. Even bought the mini one for my LCP ii .22lr because the top of the magazine will cut the heck out of your thumb after poking 50 rounds in it. I still try to "be a man" and manually load occasionally just in case I'm ever in a situation I don't have my get out of jail free card

Amen to that, does anyone make mags for the lcp2 that are made different so they arent sharp??

None that I've found. I've considered a file or dremel A follower would've been real handy!

The first time I needed a loader was when I bought a Shield. I could not for the life of me get the last round into the mag. the Mag Lula let me get them all in there. once the mags worked in, I could load them by hand. And then I bought new mags and had to start all over again. DR

I have this bad habit of forgetting to bring mine along on Range Days.

If you tie a piece of string around your ankles, you won't forget.

Or something like that.

I know I'm late to the party. I never found the need for one of these. Now that I'm older trying to load high capacity 10 mm mags becomes nearly impossible. I've seen these before for many years, but like I said, never really felt the need for one.

I bought this and loaded up some 30 round 10mm SGM mags. This thing is absolutely amazing. If you've ever thought about getting one, stop thinking about it and just do it. Even if you're not reloading 10mm magazines, this is really gonna come in handy.

I've loaded my Kriss 10mm and SGM 10mm with absolute ease. I should of got this decades ago!

I have three of them. Range bag, the bench, and the safe. Very tactical.

Mag loaders can "save" your thumbnail (and a visit to the ER). Having had multiple brands for multiple calibers and platforms the UpLulas are my preferred goto and worth the price. Your thumb will thank you!

I use one as well. I think they're great especially if you have arthritis of the hands. Sure beats having achy hands before you start shooting!

 

[ARFrog]

My brother routinely tapes his fingers when doing a bunch of shooting because the mag lips on his magazines are SHARP.

No need to do this with an UpLula and therefore no painful or bleeding fingers.

I'm a convert. I bought one of these a few months ago after reading this thread. It was a good purchase. But it got even better after I bought some new Glocks. Magazines for which have the heaviest spring tension I've ever experienced. I will probably buy another Uplula just to have a spare.

People complain about mag springs losing tension over time. I'm thinking I should leave those Glock mags with stiff springs loaded up all the time with the idea of maybe reducing the tension.

The 'lulas' are the BEST!

The only bad part of using this tool is how fast you load your Mags, So if you like to mag dump you'll get through a 50 rd box Of 9 mil Pretty freaking fast Ha ha
