My fingers hurt

[AGoyette]

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.
