My fingers hurt

As a proud 'owner' of hitchhiker thumbs, I've never understood what all the fuss is about. I just bend my thumb back 90 degrees and push the cartridge down to make space for the next one.
 
Having rehabbed back from a left side stroke 3.5 years ago, I can use my right side well enough to do the manual of arms and shoot the guns from my right side, but loading mags is really a chore w/o the Uplula.

Speaking of thumbs, did you ever look at those backbent thumbs on Hickok45?
 
I liked mine so much...I got 2 more so my shooting partners, aka my wife and kids, can load too.

Wow! There's quite a few names today in this thread that I never thought I would see over here in the M&P Forum...it's been a while, but I caught Snubby sneaking around in here some time back. I guess he was slumming!

Sip, you won't regret the UpLula. The only thing I don't like about it is the fact that I didn't invent it!
 
After the first 20 minutes at my first time at the range with my Shield, I bought the Uplula loader. My fingers thank me every time I go shooting!!
 
I lost mine so I went straight out and bought another, two weeks later I found the first one.

Now I have one for each of my pistol range bags. :)
 
Just bought a second Uplula so the wife and I don't have to trade off at the range. I have arthritis in right thumb so these loaders are a major help. If you shoot w/a partner might as well get 2!
 
uplula loader sounds like a very wise investment Sip please let us know how it performs after you have purchased it.
 
I have loaded mags the old fashion way for years. No problem. Then I got an Uplula. Man oh man, the difference!!!
Went to the range with the husband and forgot the Uplula. I spent all my time loading mags for him to shoot. It is amazing how quickly a person can go through a mag when shooting and how long it takes to reload the old way.
Uplula all the way!
 
I have loaded mags the old fashion way also, it is a pain. so I bought a glock loader for $7.00 and it works just fine.
 
Well, it's time for an Uplula...never had much problem loading Beretta or Hi-power mags but loading the M&P mags are taking a toll on my index finger...considering on my shooting hand I have half a middle finger and arthritis in the pinky, I better invest $30 bucks into saving the other digits....:)

Haha, I had a numb pinky for about 2 days from loading magazines after taking my 9C to the range the first time!
 
I broke down & bought an Uplula loader after loading my (at the time) 3- 10 round 40C mags & 2-15 round full size M&P40 mags I dedicated for use with the compact. Once I got the Uplula I loaded & unloaded mags a lot just to loosen them up a bit & now I can do it by hand without as much effort. I either strengthened my fingers or took the stiffness out of the springs or both. I still use the Uplula, though. I find that it's faster.
