Magazine speed loader for SW22 Victory

For the past couple of years I have been using the UpLula loader made by Maglula Ltd for my 3rd gen 9mm and also have a second UpLula for my Bersa .22LR that fitts the mags fine. I would suggest looking into those to see if they make a loader for your particular pistol, as I have found the UpLula to work great. I use it regularly and they are incredibly efficient. Cabellas and all of the well stocked dealers I visit seem to carry them.

That's exactly what I bought back in March....BTW it's Hilljak and they make them with a 3D printer. Nothing to not like.
The "X10 Lula" works well on the Victory mags, the "V10 Lula" does not. The V10 tries to wedge itself in place under spring pressure and the stainless Victory mags are too slippery for it to get a good hold down at the fully compressed spring end of travel.
The V10 grips well on a Ruger mag because those aren't as smooth as the Victory mags and offer better purchase for it to grip. But I do not like the V10 style in the first place. It tries to hold the mag spring all the way down and as you drop rounds into the magazine (which is not under spring tension with the V10) they can tip up, tip down, and get all messed up.
If you need a speedloader for the Victory mags, I'd recommend the X10, and tell you to stay away from the V10. But since both loaders come in the same package, I don't think you can buy one without the other.

I also have a "Baby-UpLula" that I occassionally use for .22 rifle mags that do not have the thumb buttons like the Voctory mags. If I'm shooting a LOT of .22 through one of these rifles in frigid weather, like at a winter Appleseed Shoot, then this Baby-UpLula helps with the bleeding and battered thumbs.
I don't think the Baby-UpLula will work for Victory mags, but I don't know, since I've never tried it.

You will spend more time futzing with it than saving time. It will take you five times as long to load a mag than just loading the mag without a "speed" (???) loader in the first place.
I have not tried this loader with my Victory mags. But watching my wife trying to use it to load the Ruger Mark III 22/45 mags makes me want to cry. Rounds end up every-which-way, except the correct way, inside the mag. It takes some pointy tools and a long time to clear out that mess of a jam.

The McFadden Ultimate ClipLoader will not work with Victory or M41 mags (dammit). They're supposedly coming out with a version for the Victory, but I'm going to spend some time this winter to see if I can get it to work for my 41.

That Ultimate magazine loader doesn't work with Model 22A or 1911 rimfire conversion kits either. When I emailed the manufacturer about its deficiencies, they refunded my money and told me to throw it away or give it someone else.
I use this three-buck loader with my single-stack rimfire magazines: ADCO Super Thumb Mag Loader Single Stack 22 Rimfire Target Pistols
It works just fine.

Now that I am re-enlisting in the auto corps -
Do you know of a 22 loader that will work with a Beretta Model 70,
A PPK/S, and Maybe a Model 46 and a Hi Standard HDM?

I found a TandemKross speedloader that works with the S&W22 Victory AND they ship to Canada.

Simplifying the problem presented an already available option.
Cheap, too.

I have to disagree. I have 2 of these for my Ruger MKs and they work perfectly. It's possible you got a bad one, but I have to ask if you followed the instructions on adjustment and usage.

That loader works for a Ruger but NOT the S&W Victory. I found out the hard way!
To 3Srokes Brownells DOES SHIP to Canada as I received some moonclips to-day. Numerich also ships up here as well. The Baby Uplula works extremely well in the M41 or M46 Mags as I used mine earlier this evening at the range. There are many others dealers in the US who will also ship to us Canadians as well.
