If you haven't tried an UpLula Universal Magazine Speedloader Try One Out!!
I got my UpLula loader the other day and wanted to let you know they have done it right. It loads 9mm, 10mm .357 .40 & .45 mags. I was amazed as they really have made a great product that works exactly as they said it does. I did a 10 round .40 M&P magazine in less than 10 sec after playing with it for no more than 10 minutes after I got it in the mail. Just wanted to share this with everyone how good it works.

I have one for the past year and it works great on everything from .380 to .45 It really saves the finger tips and helps old arthritic hands.

Use mine on everything 380 and up tried to explain to my Brother in the lower 48 how it works and finally gave up and bought one and sent it to him. I keep one at the house and one in my range box it's a great tool.

It's an awesome gadget! No more "feats-of-strength" contests loading mags!
I love to shoot in the winter and this thing makes it all the more fun.

A fantastic find. It even does single stack mags (CS9) which can be a bear to load.
One minor glitch: if you're left handed, you may find that you occasionally hit the lock button by accident. All progress stops until you figure out what happened.

I like my UpLULA . The HKS works, but the plastic seems flimsy and on the verge of breaking when you use it..

Me too...
I bought one after seeing it mentioned in a thread (I think here). I saw the video on you tube and was really impressed, more impressed after I got one and used it a bit. I had a small problem with .45 magazines for my 1911 as they would stick in the top of the uplula. After a short while that area loosened up and now it works great. Highly recommended.

Add me to the list of satisfied customers. I've had mine about two months now. Very well made product and a vast improvement on anything I've seen previously for the purpose.
Don't know how I got along without it. Yeah, actually I do. Had a lot of sore thumbs and cut fingers trying to load some mags without it.
Thinking of buying a bunch as Christmas gifts for my shooting friends.

Lula Loaders
Yes, the handgun Lula loaders are great, But, so are the rifle loaders. I have Lula loaders for the AR-15, AK-47,FN-Fal, M1A and UZI/AR-15 9mm.
Nothing else will load and unload your rifle mags so fast and easy. And the are made to last and last.

I can't remember who exactly it was that originally introduced the Forum to the LULA's?
I sure am glad though, who ever did do it bothered to take the time to introduce it to us! It was never an issue (or so I thought?) with 1911' single stacks. But as soon as time injuries and arthritis paid a visit, it sure became an issue! Then add in my first ever double stack, and I was squealing Uncle. Not once I got one of them! Great product! *****!

It was the best investment I ever got for shooting. Bought one for my brother-in-law who shoots a lot more than I do. He qualifies employees for a security company, and loves watching people load manually then takes out his UPLULA and loads in seconds. He said they wouldn't appreciate it until you have to load a couple hundred rounds by hand.

My 2 cents for Uplula
I finally gave in and picked up one of these Uplula magazine loaders. What a wonderful invention: simple, rugged, effective and most of all--easy. Only downside I can foresee is shooting twice as much ammo each time I visit the range!

It certainly works for me, not for M41 mags though.

Great product, my wife and I both have one and they work great.
Here's a link to Midway USA, they currently have the UpLula on sale - well worth the money and I've always had good luck with Midway.

Me too, Me two
I liked my Uplula so much, I bought another one to keep in a second range bag in case I lost or misplaced the first Uplula. Definately saves knuckles and fingernails.
Once you get the hang of it you can literally load a mag faster than you can get them out of an ammo case. I dump my ammo out on a table and can load four ten rounders in a minute.

As far as a useful invention, I would rate this one right up there with the bread slicer and the TV remote control.
Now, if someone would invent a device to load my 1892's from the side loading gate as easily as this works . . .

If you have to pay for time while at range(not a member) then the Uplula can certainly help in that respect, plus the saving of your fingertips is worth the money spent every time you reload a mag. It works great in my M&P9 and 45 and in a 4006TSW as well. They are built rather sturdy as well, lot better than the single caliber loaders on the market or ones that come with some handguns. zorro49

Very handy device, especially for that last round in a magazine. I can't help but show it off at the range when I see people with purple thumbs reloading. Simple but effective.

Don't know about a sigma, but the last one goes in hard for my M&P 9 with 17 rounds & 12 rounds.
I hate the thing. I end up shooting more ammo since it's so easy to load the magazines. I need to take less ammo with me to the range.

I bought one after I picked up a couple CZ 82s...mags were a bear to load..forget getting close to the 12 they are to hold. with the loader, makes it a breeze..might have to get one for the DPMS Panther .223.

This is one of those 'perfect products' that I hope is in a design museum somewhere.
I have three... one for each range bag, and a spare to give away to the next person I want to introduce them to.
I often give them as gifts to friends, relatives, and business associates.

You know that stuff is never as good as they claim it is....... The Uplula far surpassed my expectations. Every shooter should have one. My only regret is that I didn't think of this idea.........

After receiving mine I took it to one of our local gun shops. After a short display they were impressed enough they ordered them for resale. Came in today and they showed them to me. All agree it is a product that does what it says it will do. The late Billy Mays would have been proud to have hawked them I'm sure. WOW something that really works..

re: "if someone would invent a device to load my 1892's from the side loading gate as easily as this works"
haven't you seen the home made tube loaders? They really work well. I don't have a link handy, but if you want I can describe it. I've built some for my own use. It makes loading 73s really easy....I don't have a 92 any more but I've seen 'em work the same.
