I bought the UpLula for my wife, but it works for all of my guns and my son's. We were tough guys and did not need a 'sissy' mag loader until we noticed that my wife could easily load her mags 2-3 times as fast as we could load ours.

I'm another who keeps an UpLula on my bench and one in my range bag. It loads mags in various calibers of all my SIGs, H&Ks, and CZ. It won't handle my Model 41 mags. But they are easy .22 mags. I find the UpLula especially useful for new mag springs. Why beat up your thumb?

Using that logic, one should never get on an airplane, drive a car, use a phone or a computer for the very first time.
These "gadgets" are simple and extremely effective but you're right - to each his own.

Hi Paul, sorry it was a "computer mishap", I mistankently pressed enter instead of delete (this is one of those points not worth to argue about) and an unfinished sentence was out there in the internet...
I wanted to say that I don't want to depend on these gadgets and I've never seen the real need for them even. I did try a few mag loaders and they did nothing for me. And believe me I've loaded a good number of magazines in many calibers and configurations.

Tiro - certainly no need to apologize sir. Dont forget that you can always edit your email even after posting it. I did not intend for my reply to you to sound as snobbish as it did.
The fact is that there are many hi capacity magazines sold here in the US that are IMPOSSIBLE to load to full capacity without a mag loader.
The Para Ordnance line of high capacity .45's is an example. I have large and very strong hands and I simply cannot load more than 12-13 rounds in a 17 round magazine. If I am competing in a match, I want something that makes reloading those big magazines as quick and efficient as possible.
These Uplula magazine loaders are worth every penny.
For standard single stack magazines like the traditional 1911 - the mag loader is generally not needed by most men with average strength but . . . I have seen women struggle even with these mags.
However, the mag loaders still come in handy even when loading small and easy magazines especially when you ask your wife to load them for you. (I am very lucky to have a mag loader and a good wife!!)
Take care

Paul, you are a gentleman
I regularly shoot a Para P14-45 and load the mags at full capacity by hand. They are stiff when new but soon get looser. Most double stack mags need TLC, strong hands, and/or some cursing when new ...keeping them loaded for a few days help too.
The big issue is the quality of the mag springs, I'm an engineer and know most of the thoretical tidbits regarding springs, but in reality even with best quality brands identical examples wear much sooner than others or have a very different useful life.
Let me ask now, mag loader or not, how do you get your wife to load magazines for you? You are my hero

Tiro - I may be a gentleman but you are a REAL MAN!!. There's no way I can load my 14-45 mags to capacity. I have tried this both with the original springs and replacement springs made by Wolf. No way.
In answer to your second question, I make her a special dinner and give her a mag loader - both of which keep her happy.
Where are you located??

It works OK with my SW9VE mags, but is a little flimsy. Now that the mag springs are broken in a bit, I rarely use it anymore.
