I have googled for a good speed loader for the Shield 9mm with no luck.

Please post a link if there is a good Shield speed loader.

Thanks
Russ

Uplula works.

Thunder

Thank you

Russ

Yup. Uplula...........that's all you need. Had mine for the past few years and it's the best investment for those long range session and to save your thumbs

Aye - no money better spent -- not even ammo

Problem with the uplula and the shield magazines is that it gets caught on that "valley" that is half way along the mag. It puts a gap in between the front of your mag and where it's supposed to sit. Not a big deal but it does get hung up sometimes. I paid 25.00 for mine on Amazon and got free shipping.

Dito: The Upula is "right up there" with the invention of "Sliced Bread".

Thanks all. I just ordered one on Amazon with free shipping for $26.

One other thing - the followers in your magazines will last longer if you put the first round of each magazine in by hand and use the LULA for the others. The "tongue" on the LULA can dent , scratch, or deform the followers after repeated use.

Thanks that is what I enjoy about these gun forums. Very knowledgeable and more important willing to share that knowledge with others.

Great thread, just ordered mine. Thanks.

I love mine! When I was at the range, a guy was telling one of the workers about it. He said "I don't like them."

How can anyone not like the Upula?

I never thought about that. Makes sense for some of the softer followers.

With as tight a fit as there is when trying to get last last round in, the UpLula is great for exercising new mags (of any brand).

Thanks for a great suggestion...I love my UpLula (in fact, I bought a 2nd one just for my range bag.) Most of my magazines have polymer followers (including the Wilson Elites that I use in my 1911s) so this is good to know and use.

Here's the uplula I'd like to get: Product: Smith & Wesson M&P 40 Carry and Range Kit

Yeah, I got one of those -- the price was higher than Amazon, but they threw in a 40FS, 3 mags, a magazine holder, a holster and a set of ear plugs.
