maglula, Ltd. > Pistol Mag Loaders > UpLULA? - 9mm to 45ACP mags
When my hands get tired or my fingers are feeling achy i use my uplula mag loader. Theyre around 30-35 dollars and work with many different mags anda few different calibers, and its easy to use

I use a Glock loader. It's not perfect, but it works.

Agree with the Uplula.

Personal preference...the glock loader your still using your fingers to push down on the loader to load the mags, with the uplula you squeeze the loader with your full grip and it preps the mag for a new round. When your fingers ache or are freezing this is why i paid 30 instead of using the glock loader i already had.
The glock loader really doesnt do much more help for loading mags if you just push the rounds down with your thumb and throw in another round, it just gives you a different surface plane to do the same procedure-i like the easy motion of squeezing my hand and drop a round and release

Agree also, but here is why: I have many handguns (10) most auto loaders, with the Uplula I have one loader that does all my calibers including my Para Ord p14-45 limited. Could not find a loader for it that fit (it did not come with one) and this one works for it too. It was basicly impossible for me to get the 14th round in the mag without it.

As i said above it does many different mags in many different calibers. The only mags that it has trouble with are calibers under 32acp and i can get it to work on my friend 50gi but you really got to squeeze after. I also have been said to be a collector as my father is, i like handguns, dad likes long guns. My advice is you buy a tool that does many jobs well and you spend less money overall, buying one tool for one job never really solves your problems

UPLULA is the one to use. Simple, rugged and they work with nearly any pistol magazine.
Get one for the car, one for the gun room and one for your shooting range bag. You won't regret it.
Someone, somewhere will make accusations about your fitness in general, your sexual prowess or your competence to handle firearms when they seen you using the device.
However, it only takes one range visit shooting in near freezing weather to eventually slice open your fingers on the magazine lips, resulting in blood on just about everything. Remember, unless you are using a really good finish such as Birdsong Black T or similar, you will damage the appearance of your firearm. Now some people like that. However, judging by the large number of folks on here who use power tools fitted with every abrasive known to man to peel off a layer of steel from the face of their revolver cylinders every time they shoot just because they cannot stand dark rings around the charge holes, I imagine that to those folks blood stains are completely out of the question.
I have always wondered if they realize that doing that enough will eventually give your fine S&W a serious case of end shake.
Oh well. . . .

Sounds like you've already made your decision, but I wanted to chime in with a warning about the UpLula. I've been using one for several years now, and I've run into a problem with mine. After using the UpLula, I can't (or don't want to) load a magazine by hand alone anymore. I am SPOILED! 
Seriously, this loader is one of those "best inventions since sliced bread" kind of deals. Not only is it easier and faster than loading by hand, it makes loading new magazines to capacity a whole lot easier.
I bought one, and then quickly bought a second one: one to keep at home, and one in my range bag.

I have two. The larger version for use with my .45 and similar mags that are wider such as a double stack 9mm. The larger version for use with my single stack .380 but works with any similar single stack smaller calibers.
I also have a speed loader for my SR22 mags.
Two different speed loaders for my 10/22, one for factory mags and another specifically fo. HC3R mags.
And a strip loader for AR mags
And stripper clips for the Mosin.
All of these devices make it easier and faster to load magazines. Which means I get to spend more time focused on operating the firearm and less time making it ready. The 22 mag loaders I can use while wearing gloves and in the case of the SR22 never even have to touch the rounds. With the HC3R mag loaded do have to touch them but don't have to handle each one individually and can pre load 100 into the device and then likely could do the rest with gloves on.
Haven't tried the others with gloves on but might be able to do so.
I consider them just another accessory along with bipod or scope or sling.
Anyone else's opinion regarding any given accessory is not relevant to my enjoyment of those which I choose to use.

Uplula comes in the range and carry kit for the m&p and it works great
