I was using my auto magazine loader for my buckmark .22 pistol and was wondering if there was anything comparable out in the wild yet. I don't have a problem doing it by hand but I would like a way to do it faster. Filling 5 25rd mags at once can be a bit tedious.

Have any kids you can make do it?

All I know is I cant wait for one to come out. With how popular these are, im really surprised there isnt one yet.

after seeing my friend use one with his glock i was suprised how rather ineffective they seemed to work. especially with the way you need to properly stagger rounds in the mags, it would probably become an issue. just my guess.

We have one in develpment. You will be able to load about as fast as you can unload. With no sore fingers.

Awesome!! I cant wait!

Which loader was he using? i have a lula for my ar and for my pistols and those things are AWESOME! i can load a 16 round M&P mag in about 15 seconds.

Thats odd, I use my Speed loader that came bundled( among many other things) with my Springfield XD9, and it works great and is ALOT faster/easier on the fingers than doing it by hand. Sorry his didnt work, but I'd MUCH rather use a speed loader vs. loading by hand for my AR's/AK's or my pistol mags.

I guess we should ask: genebofunk, do you by chance have the mags that do not have the buttons to pull down as you load your mag? I don't find the loading process that hard; but I usually only load about 20 per mag.

Care to share a rough ETA? Pleeeez?

2011 is as close as I can get right now.

I load my 15-22 mags the same way I load my Beretta mags. 1 Round at a time... And I've never run into issues

Other than sore fingers, I presume.

Our loader will load one round at a time, just in very quick succession.
Just for some input, what do you want from the loader and what should be avoided? AKA must have and must avoid.

The only input I can give you is that the device work well, be reasonably priced (under $50 would be ideal, but I would probably pay more if it really works), and small enough to carry in my range bag.

Hadn't thought about a loader for these mags. I have both the Up LULA for my pistols and the Strip LULA for my AR. Love 'em!
BUT - the only way I've been able to beat the FTF problem is to use good ammo (CCI works best for me), and very carefully load the mag, using the side buttons on the mag follower and one round at a time. I verify that the bullets properly stagger, and generally load 20rds in my 25rd mags (I have eight of them). I was hoping someone (even S&W) improve on the mag design......

Can't wait for those to come available

I think the biggest issue is ease of loading. I don't personally find loading to take that long, it just can be a bit tiresome on the fingers. For me, the biggest issue is that it takes the stress off my fingers. Even if it goes no faster than loading the regularly I would be interested if it was something I could use the entire hand to grasp. If it works like those crank loaders for the 10-22 mags that would be even better. That keeps pressure on the rounds being loaded, which would seem to help keep things in a double stack pattern in the mag. The load real quick too. I would be interested in either one of those style crank loaders or in something like the lula/uplula.

I feel as though it might even be just as helpful if there was some kind of handle that could be clipped on to the side "helper" buttons of the magazine...just something that could take the stress off your fingertips.

I envision some kind of plastic/metal device that would allow you to compress the follower by placing the magazine between your pointer and middle fingers, then applying downward pressure to load. Almost like a "trigger" on each side of the magazine.

Just a thought...

quit 'envision'ing, and get to work......

glad to hear that one is in the works....i will definitely be interested...

i use an uplula for my XDm 9 (19rd mags)...the one that comes with it is not very effective...the uplula is very quick and efficient..definitely worth the $

dont really need to use it for my 1911 or emp...

on another note: has anyone ever used the 50rd drum mag?

Haven't used the larger mags yet. But the loader is designed to load all brands of mags, one round at a time.
There will be specific adapters for 10/22, GSG-522, Colt/Umarex/HK .22LR, blackdog and others.
Everybody here hates the crank, plus it has a great patent.

Awesome I can't wait till it's released

I'd purchase a speed loader for sure. The 15-22 is my most fired range gun for sure. I'd love to be able to load quicker and easier. I fire 500-1000 rounds every outing.

The main element of loading tongues mags is how dirty your stinking fingertips get with these bare lead projectiles. Even with jacketed bullets I still end up getting lead all over my fingers somehow. My main concern is heath reasons above all else. I'm a health and physical wellness advocate and having your fingers covered in lead multiple times per month is not exciting.


'iPhone posted using TapaTalk'

So, lick 'em off afterwards. And spit....... Lead-filled fingers can now be a thing of the past.......

you dont need to be a health nut to be wary of lead poisoning, not matter how little.
in the long run, it will have some effect on you.

but yeah.... +2 on buying a proper/decent loader.

I'll never get a speed-loader.....I use enough ammo already and this will only add four hundred or so more rounds per outing! It also gives me time to chill and sip on beverages =-)

Will it work on the Bersa / Firestorm mags?

Frank

I want one! I absolutely love my UpLula. I won't go to the range without it.

Will it work on the Bersa / Firestorm mags?
No. There are plenty of other loaders for pistols out there.
We are focusing entirely on the .22LR rifle niche for now. There are next to no loaders or terrible to use loaders for this market. So we will fix that.
All brands of mags, being .22LR mags.

Tacticalcool22,,I have 20 mags @25 rds per for those 500 rd. days,,,an assist loader would come in real handy,,,how close are you to gittin me a handful,or two..??

Shootin' for April, this year.

I can't wait

Lets see,a new toy,income tax refund,and warmer weather,,,,sign me up..!!

Hurry up please!!! LOL

I want dibbs on first one ill even shoot a you tube video on it for ya

I guess of all the mags I've had to load, the 15-22's are the easiest. I have the ones with the load assist. I just take my time and load one at a time, watching the seating carefully. My fingers certainly don't feel abused with this method. BUT! If the guys on the site are able to produce a mag loader that is comparable in quality to what they have produced so far, it is going to be awesome. As far as what I'd like to see and not see. Well, just make sure it fits my wife's hand.

Tactcool.22,,a must have is 4 of these puppies,,10-15 more mags,a coupla illegals stacking 'em,,,and my wife not findin out,,,sounds like a saturday to me...!!!!

Bump for update on how its progressing.

Edit: Where will this loader be for sale at? And how much?

Is that unload down range or unload by hand? I can emty a 25 rounder faster than you can pick up the second round

You won't need to pick up the second round. Why would you unload by hand? We always use the rifle to empty the mags

Hey thanks for answering my questions.

Could have used one of these today. Now that I have 5 mags, its nice but kind of annoying to reload them all haha.

nice to have: a compartment like the "Auto Clip Loader" where you dump a bunch of rounds in a hopper and it stacks them neatly in a row.

I too would like to own a couple of these - would you make them available for direct order or would we have to wait for distribution to the retail sites?

Any ball park figure on the SMP (suggested member price)? This is getting exciting.

The MSRP will be $60.00
You can buy it configured for the S&W 15-22, Colt .22LR, H&K .22LR, BlackDog. Or the Ruger 10/22 or the GSG 522 series. Others will follow.
There will be no offerings for pistols like the Ruger Mark III. There are already loaders for those, they work great so we are not going to go there.
For $15.00 you can change what magazine you will load.

can't wait!

i love my ultimate clip loader for my MK3. something like that for the 15-22, would keep me from having to buy more mags.

On a side note, maybe consider doing one for the GSG 1911 .22LR mags. While they're very easy to load to begin with, you have other companies like Sig Sauer and Colt coming out with their own 1911 .22LR pistols this year, and from the pics & specs we've seen on them, they're all the same guns (made by the same manufacturer, using the same parts & most likely same mags).

Can I preorder? I'm really looking to buy at least one if not a few of these things.

Not yet, but soon. Check on the website every once in a while.
Or twitter
Or Facebook
