I have NEVER had such a time loadinmg magazines as these

I thought I was gonna break my thumb pressing on the last two cartridges and the 12 rounder was even worse!!! Is this sometning that is common with these magazines due to their build??? I was gonna go shooting today but now I think I'm just gonna let these loaded magazines sit for a while.
I mean JEEZE I broke a sweat loading these buggers!!

Yes Gary, the last couple rounds are a bear, get an UpLULA. It will get easier over time in my experience, but I still use the UpLULA.

Maglula is your friend.

Listen to Mike, I did.

I've had other loaders in the past and I bought the UpLula on Mike's suggestion and its easy to use and the fastest loader I've ever used.

Yes those last two rounds are tough...initially...which is why the MagLula is great. But after reloading them several times, they seem to break-in a little more.

Cajun,

I can't speak to the Sig P365 magazines, but I have a number of NJ neutered G17 magazines that are near impossible to get the tenth round in without the help of a maglula loading device!

Look at the design of the 365 mag, stuffing 10# in a 5# can...
UpLULA loaders are the schizzle for any hard to load mags

Do they sell those for the individual trying to put 20 pounds of lower extremity into 10 pounds worth of yoga pants???

Thankfully, NO.

What I do to "break in" new mags is to leave them fully loaded for a couple of weeks. I've found that doing that makes them easier to load afterwards.

And yes, the UpLula is worth the investment. I have two of them, one to keep handy and another I keep in my range bag.

I have an Uplula, but my problem with 365 mag's is, I can't find another one to buy! Looked several places, and none in stock.

Those are called UpCracklas

I was on the "call me when they come in" list at Buds on the 12 rounder. It was around $53 shipped but hell, I wanted a 12 rounder

Most any Sig mag is "tight" to begin with. They use GOOD springs

Heck my p220 45 8 round mags are still hard to load the last round.
CZ Scorpion 20 round is impossible to load without a mag loader.

TheHobbyist · Sep 12, 2020

As others said, you need a loader, I have an uplula. Agree on the first time I loaded by hand I thought that I needed to go back to the gym.

Oracle · Sep 12, 2020

I grew tired of compressing the equivalent of a Kenworth truck suspension.

Saw the UpLULA and now goes to every range session with me.

ladder13 · Sep 12, 2020

I take comfort in knowing I have the best sub compact 9mm available.

I just send my Sig 365 mags to Chuck Norris to load. He says it’s a piece of cake....

Chuck Norris threatens the ammo, and they load themselves into the magazines.

Any double stack, subcompact centerfire pistol magazine will be difficult to extremely difficult to load fully. So it is not an issue, more like a feature.

The loader device mentioned above and leaving the magazines fully loaded do help.
