Uplula?

[wiz561]

I bought one and absolutely love it. I loaded a few rounds in a magazine today and I have to say, I was able to, but it was difficult.

I don't know if I have arthritis or what, but my hands get really stiff, especially in the winter. Don't tell Uplula, but I would probably buy it if it was twice the price.

when I first started shooting I did all my loading by hand and one day at the range I saw a guy using a Uplula loader....asked him if I could try it and later where he bought it....stopped and got one on the way home....best thing I ever did for my tired old hands

If you load multiple mags by hand for a competition it will tire your hand and make your groups larger.

I use my Uplula for 9mm and .45 mags. Even the single stacks required by my Weimar governor. For testing ammo for best group or for Bullseye competition I prefer to have the loader.

One reason NOT to use the loader is that it is made in Israel. I hate to support that apartheid government with anything more than my $10million per day from US taxpayers.

I live four miles from town. I can walk back and forth, but since I got my first car, I've found that it's a lot easier to drive. Quicker and more efficient also!!! My first one was for the AK style mags, and my next one was for the AR style mag. I shoot mainly revolvers these days, but whenever I get out one of my 'large capacity ammunition feeding devices', the loader is a really big help, especially for multiple mags. I've never talked to anyone who bought one who doesn't like it.

23 rounds per mag x 6 mags + long day of practice= Uplula in my range bag. Could I load the mags by hand?, Sure. Is it much faster and easier with the Uplula?, You betcha.

 

[Bad_Andy]

Ok, thank you all for the replies.

I will look into picking one up.

The small one won't work on Glock 42 (.380) mags but the big one works fine.

After my first 4 day handgun class, 600-700 rounds, I found I could not keep up with my fingers.

After that first class I purchased a LULA and never looked back.

I have since been back to several classes with the LULA always in my pocket!

Very useful on double stack 45s if you have a touch of arthritis.

Buy the pink one, mine would come up missing at the range and the pink one is still with me.

 

[RobzGuns]

Are they one size fits all, or do you need a specific one for each handgun? For example one for my 9mm Shield, and one for my Sig 226 .40?

Well... The UP in UpLula stands for Universal Pistol.
As I've written in multiple other threads, the UpLula works in Single-Stack and Double-Stack, from 9mm - .45 (and some .380s)

That's close enough to 'one size fits all' for me, since I don't own any .32s and don't need it for my .22s.

It sure beats having one for each caliber.

2 things are always in my range bag... My Bore Snake and my UpLula.

The standard one will work fine for both 9mm and .40 (9mm to .45 ACP range). There's a different model for loading smaller calibers in the .22 to .380 range.

Mine works on single stacked 45 ,, double stacked 9's & 40's,
CZ's ,, Glocks,, S&W,, 1911's ,, STI ,, I think that's all I've tried..

Don't think they work on .22's or 380's..

I have the standard UPLULA, and I've used it on .45s, .40s, 9mms, and my SIG P250sc .380. It works great. If there was a Nobel Prize for gun accessories, it would be a sure winner.

I'm not surprised that it comes from Israel, as Israelis often have to load their guns in a hurry.

 

[okiegtrider]

Never felt like I needed something like this. That is until I spent a little time loading mags for a Shield. Dang those things are hard to load up!

Watched a video on the Uplula after reading this thread. I'm sold. Getting one soon.

 

[Htown]

Absolutely love mine. Quicker to load mags and my thumbs thank me.

 

[Dave49]

as an older shooter with 3 hand operations and Arthur the loader was a life saver.

 

[JLM]

They come in very handy at multi-day, high round count classes too.

 

[Ole Joe Clark]

I don't love mine, but I sure do like it a lot. Of course if you are a macho guy/gal that won't admit your hands are weak from birthdays or arthur, don't buy one.

 

[psjr56]

Love Mine

It would take me forever to load a 40 cal magazine without my Uplula speed loader.

 

[opaul]

What others have said........makes loading mags simple.

 

[Whitwabit]

Don't leave home going to the range with out it .. best investment in shooting you can make ..
