Uplula?

[Bad_Andy]

I hear a lot of talk on this forum about these Uplula loaders. I really do not know what they are, or why one is needed. It doesn't take that long to load a magazine. I have no trouble getting the last bullet in as some have said is a problem. No different from any other gun I own. Am I missing something?

They come into their own on double stack mags and I believe are well worth it.

If you feel you don't need one, don't buy one. As for me, it's sure made multiple magazine loads during range trips much easier. My only problem with the loader - I go through ammo way faster now.

Never used one before, till I got a great deal on my M&P "range kit" 9mm.

Then, I bought another Glock 22 - and loading those mags with rounds # 14 & 15 are a PITA!

Glad I got the Uplula and I don't go to the range without it now.

I can load any and all of my mags by hand with no problem at all however after loading 100+ rounds at the end of the day my thumbs are really sore. For me the Uplula is a little slower but a lot less painful.

Best invention since they invented Velcro, wish I would have bought one when they first came out. I always preload 10 or 20 mags before going to the range, my thumb thanks me every time I use my Uplula.

They work great. Perhaps unnecessary for most handguns, but if you have Colt AR15 9mm carbine or an Uzi, they are an absolute must!

 

[MadJack!]

I can load my magazines without it, but why? The Uplulu is faster, when you get then hang of it and so much easier on the thumbs.

Kind of like a compressor and air tools in the garage. You don't need them, but they make life a lot easier. Same-same an Uplula, especially if you're loading Shield mags.

A Lula is a must have for AR magazines. Never figured I needed a Uplula for a pistol magazine. Until my son-in-law gave me one.

Sort of like a can opener,, you can get by without one,, but it just makes life a whole lot easier..

The Lula & Uplula are well worth having IMHO..

i'll put myself in the "want and need" hat. When i hit the range, i can easily go thru a couple hundred rounds in my 9's plus several hundred more in the .22; i dont have "arthritis" yet but the fingers sure can cramp and stiffen up easily enough. So as i enjoy my range trips, no reason not to have something to improve my experience. Up to now, been using a cheaper loader but Mrs Claus got me an Uplula for Christmas. Used it yesterday. Damn wish i had one the past couple years as it worked sweet for me lol

for those among us who are older and, like me, have some physical deficits in their hands, these are a Godsend.

 

[Bad_Andy]

Are they one size fits all, or do you need a specific one for each handgun? For example one for my 9mm Shield, and one for my Sig 226 .40?

The standard one will work fine for both 9mm and .40 (9mm to .45 ACP range). There's a different model for loading smaller calibers in the .22 to .380 range.

Wish I had bought one sooner, best money I've ever spent.

 

[RJJ 1971]

Mine works with all my 9mm mags and 40.

Mine works on single stacked 45 ,, double stacked 9's & 40's,
CZ's ,, Glocks,, S&W,, 1911's ,, STI ,, I think that's all I've tried..

Don't think they work on .22's or 380's..

 

[sodacan]

You answered your own question, but once you buy one and use it, you'll wonder why you didn't get it sooner.

 

[sellersm]

Not everyone's hands, wrists & fingers work as they should. For those folks, there's the UpLula which allows fully loading a mag.

For me, I'm glad someone invented this lifesaver tool!

I can load magazines about 10 faster and a lot easier with one. If you shoot a lot, you will benefit from owning one. If you ever watch a Hickok45 video on YouTube you will notice that he always uses them. Like someone said, once you own one and use it, you will wonder why you didn't purchase one sooner.
