UpLULA™loader

• "The UpLULA is a very neat device!  I have tried it on every pistol mag I have and there isn't a one that it doesn't work with...well, haven't tried .22s yet, but it works with every 9mm, .40 SW and .45 ACP I have.  Good JOB!  It will be one of my "top ten" from SHOT and you'll see it in all my pistol articles."

• "The UpLULA is wonderfully simple - and simply wonderful. This loader is easy to use, ingeniously designed, well built, compact, delightfully practical, and not overly complicated. I strongly recommend the UpLULA Universal Pistol Magazine Loader. "

  - Russ Chastain, About.com (A part of the New York Times Company). http://hunting.about.com/od/guns/gr/pr_uplulaloader.htm

   

• "The UpLULA (Universal Pistol Loader UnLoader) is the best Glock gadget I've seen in years. This loader slides over the magazine and uses a metal tongue to press down on the top round in the magazine. The next round simply drops into the mag with no resistance. This not only prevents your thumbs from getting sore, it loads mags very, very fast. With only a few minutes practice I was able to load an 18 round G17 magazine in record time, even faster than using the HK loader."

• "Guys, (@ UZITALK.com) like you all I already own a few maglula products and think they are fantastic. This past weekend at the SHOT Show I had the opportunity to get my hands on the new UpLula Universal Pistol Mag loader and I highly reccomend it as has already been stated by a few UZI Talkers. When I was experimenting with the display model it felt akward for a moment, but after about thirty seconds it felt very natural. Even loading hi-cap .45 ACP mags is a breeze once you quickly master the ryhmic motion and proper grip. It is comfortable and works easily in both my right and left hands while keeping the magazine braced against my hip in both sitting and standing position. You can also brace brace the mag bottom on your thigh in sitting or standing position. I prefer this to bracing the mag on a table surface or other solid support.
  
  The unit is super durable and collapses neatly into a rectangular shape for storage in a pouch or your range bag. The loader also integrates a lanyard loop as is commonly found on their other models which I think comes in handy to prevent loss or theft. I have used many different pistol mag loaders and this is the best one by far.
  
  +1 To the boys at maglula and I eagerly await their newest product which will reportedly address the issue of more speedily and comfortably loading M16/ AR15 mags."

• "Guy, Hello again, I met you at the Shot Show in Orlando a week ago . I was letting you get back to work and recuperate from the show. Thank you again for the UpLula you gave me. The poor girl got quite a work out and I had to reacquire it from some guys at the range who liked it so much they were literally standing in line to use it. Eight of the shooters loaded 2000 rounds each and couldn't keep their hands off it. I shot another match today and the same thing happened. As we discussed at the shot show I would like to become a distributor for your product and already have orders on my desk for them. As an upcoming competition shooter and a store owner I see your product will sell very well in my marketplace.
   
  Thanking you again Andrew Schwartz, S.W. Florida " (Jan. 2007)

• "At the 2007 SHOT Show, I picked up a dandy little magazine loader marketed in the USA by Butler Creek. It is called the UpLULA and is made in Israel by the same folks that make the superb LULA magazine loaders for rifles. The UpLULA works with any single or double stack centerfire magazine, of any length, for any pistol or submachine gun. It is very simple to use, and saves wear on the feed lips and cartridge brass.  I have tried it with 9mm and .45 ACP so far, but it should work as well with .40 S&W, 10mm, .45 GAP, .357 SIG, etc. Once I have used it, I hope to never be without one again." Jeff Quinn  See: http://www.gunblast.com/SW_MPCompact.htm

• "Your UpLULA, the one I took from you at the Shot Show in Orlando Florida still looks like brand new. No wear issues at all. I have put thousands and thousands more rounds through it. I have tried diligently to break it, wear it out, abuse it, miss treat it, I even called it names to hurt it's feelings, and nothing, nada, zip. It shows up for work everyday on time and with a smile ready to go and works flawlessly. We made it employee of the month last month, and had a celebratory party for its faithful and undaunted commitment to service." Andrew Schwartz, S.W. Florida (Oct. 2007)

• I acquired this UpLULA at the 2007 Shot Show and was very impressed with it's design. I have yet to find a magazine that will not work. I will be carrying this item in my store. Two thumbs up on this one!! Paul Kovba of Waterford Works, NJ

• "Just got my uplula magazine loader, this thing is a gift from the gods, loads my G30 in less than 10 sec. If you can get your hands on one well worth the money and the wait." falco2340 at GlockTalk.com April 15

Customer Product Reviews  (from Midway web site.) Maglula UPLULA Universal Pistol Magazine Loader   Paul Kovba of Waterford Works, NJ   Rating: Date Posted: 1/31/2007 Review: I acquired this UPLULA at the 2007 ShotShow and was very impressed with its design. I have yet to find a magazine that will not work. I will be carrying this item in my store. Two thumbs up on this one!!       Mike A of Wayne, NJ   Rating: Date Posted: 2/16/2007 Review: I just got my UpLULA in today and tried it out on some mags. It worked flawless on my Wilson Combat mags, ACT 1911 mags, Browning HP and HK USP 45 mags. It is made of quality plastic and seems it will be very durable. I really like how it is designed. The crew at Maglula did a great job with this loader.       Dennis Monckton of Sicklerville, NJ   Rating: Date Posted: 4/21/2007 Review: Amazing, only need this loader in my range bag. Works great! Highly suggested.       Bruce Layne of Lexington, KY   Rating: Date Posted: 4/24/2007 Review: I loaded 10mm Glock magazines, 9mm Glock magazines and the tiny single stack 6 round Kahr magazines and it worked very well, The operation is a bit different. Most mag loaders push down on the back of the top round in the magazine to make room for the round that's being loaded. The new round is started but then runs into the tab that's depressing the round below it, so the new round is only half loaded. The typical mag loader is then raised and the started round is then pushed all the way back against the friction caused by the round riding on the underside of the magazine feed lips. The Maglula has a flat finger that pushes in and down to depress the top round in the magazine, resulting in a shelf where the next round drops in all the way, without friction. The finger then pulls out the front and raises up above the newly loaded round. Mag loading is faster than traditional mag loaders. The universal aspect is clever. The mag is essentially wedged in a V-shaped notch to center it under the loader. I was surprised it worked on the tiny single stack magazine, and that feature alone makes this worth buying. The single stack mag was a little tricky. The Maglula has enough subtle complexity to have a little bit of a learning curve, but even the initial use was better than loading manually. On more common magazines such as the Glock double stack mags, the learning curve was almost nonexistent. The Maglula is faster and easier than the inexpensive Glock mag loaders or the HKS lever activated mag loader. The design of the Maglula doesn't seem to have any leverage, but it seemed to require less force than the HKS lever actuated mag loader, probably because the Maglula is so ergonamic, and it presses straight down on the rounds instead of pushing down on only the back of the rounds like most other mag loaders. The Maglula design and overall quality are excellent. It'd be worth the price if it was specific to one magazine, but the ability to load almost all pistol magazines makes this a best buy. It's particularly handy for loading high capacity magazines like the Glock 33 round 9mm mags. Several of us tried the Maglula and the only magazine that it wouldn't load was a Sten high capacity 9mm magazine, which was a bit of an oddball. It was a bit too fat to fit in the mag loader. But it worked well with all common pistol magazines.       Jacob M of Ypsilanti, MI   Rating: Date Posted: 4/30/2007 Review: Great product. I use this on my metal M11/9 mags. These Lula folks are pretty bright.       m s of Wichita, KS   Rating: Date Posted: 5/4/2007 Review: Just received it today and tried it out on my 5 M&P 9 mags. All I can say is outstanding!!! This was the first mag loader I've used, and I can't say enough good about it. Very easy to operate and lightning quick to load a mag. All the positive reviews on this loader are true. Outstanding job Maglula!!!!       Dan Kring of Hayward, CA   Rating: Date Posted: 5/17/2007 Review: Best pistol mag loader that I have used compared to factory Springfield XD and Ruger P91. Easy to use, loads quick.       B. Wit of Buffalo grove, IL   Rating: Date Posted: 5/28/2007 Review: I rate this 10 stars! It is absolutely the best, easiest pistol mag loader anywhere. Fast, works great and works with most mags. Loads my stiff STI 20 round .40 S&W all the way. BUY IT !!!!!       Steve P of St. Louis, MO   Rating: Date Posted: 6/8/2007 Review: Great product! Loads my Glock 19 double stack (even the last round) and my Hi-Point single stack magazines with ease. No more sore thumbs, just drop the next round in place.       Tom Bailey of Vista, CA   Rating: Date Posted: 7/2/2007 Review: 5/9/07 Must be something I don't understand here...I'm unsuccessfully trying to load G38 (.45GAP) mags. After I put the round in, case-first, per the directions, I try to simultaneously raise the Uplula and open the press (step 5). But the mag spring pressure clamps the beak so that I have to hold the mag down with my other hand to get the press to release and get ready to load another round. This happens with every round...my Glock mag loader is faster and easier than this! Help! 7/2/07 I posted a previous review that said I couldn't get the UPLULA to function properly with .45GAP mags. After emailing Guy Tal at Maglula, I learned that the high front wall of the GAP magazine locks the beak in under pressure. This problem, along with some other mags that don't load properly, is discussed on the UPLULA page of the Maglula web site. I've loaded several other caliber mags with this same UPLULA and it works fine.       N Rodriguez of Salt lake city, UT   Rating: Date Posted: 7/9/2007 Review: Once I figured it out. "took a couple minutes". This thing is amazing and only wish I had invented it. I am only using it for my M&P 40 and the last round goes into the mag like the first. Very fast! The 4 month back order here at MW was well worth the wait,       George Skrivanek of San Jose, CA   Rating: Date Posted: 7/21/2007 Review: A great tool It handled Glock, XD and 1911 magazines without a hitch. You can put away all of your different mag-loaders, this one does them all!       John Owens of Shawnee, OK   Rating: Date Posted: 7/25/2007 Review: I recently got the UPLULA loader, as with the Lula loader it's an ingenious design, easy to use, and the big thing is that it's universal, so instead of taking 3 or 4 different magazine loaders with me to the range, now I only need one!       John Krizan of Anaconda, MT   Rating: Date Posted: 8/9/2007 Review: I now own 3 magazine loaders and this is the best of all. I primarily bought this for my Polish P64 which uses 9x18 Makarov ammo. The clips are nearly impossible to load, but with the Uplula they are a snap. Highly recommended!!!!!       Steve Schreiner of Maricopa, AZ   Rating: Date Posted: 9/24/2007 Review: This is far and away the best magazine loader I have ever used. It took about three minutes to get used to the sequence of operations. From then on, it is a pleasure to load magazines. Since the top cartridge does not apply upward force on the magazine lips, the life expectancy of the magazine is greatly extended. This is a winner!       John Strahl of Midland, MI   Rating: Date Posted: 11/17/2007 Review: 5 Stars isn't enough for this amazing and ingenious little device. It makes the tedious chore of loading pistol mags enjoyable. It doesn't matter if they are Glock, SIG, H&K, Ruger or any other make, single stack or double stack, 9mm, 40, 10mm, 45 or whatever, the UpLula handles them all. It takes a learning curve of about 30 seconds to master, and after that loading mags to their capacity is a snap. I wish I had heard of these long ago when I was shooting more. For the price, you can NOT go wrong.       John Holdsworth of Cornville, AZ   Rating: Date Posted: 12/3/2007 Review: Absolutely ingenious. It will load just about any pistol mag except .22 and, perhaps, .25. Fast, sturdy, easy to use, no sore thumb. I just ordered a second one to keep in my range bag.       David Edwards of Little Rock, AR   Rating: Date Posted: 12/24/2007 Review: This product gets 5 stars from me. Unbelievable, it appears that the same minds that were responsible for the wonderful LULA rifle magazine loader/unloader have created the equivalent for pistol magazines. In the same way as the LULA, this product presses the topmost round down into the magazine so that there is an open space into which the next round can be simply dropped into place. This product has worked on every magazine that I've tried it on, including 380acp, 40sw, 10mm, and 45acp - both single and double stack. As if all of this weren't enough, this loader can be squeezed closed and locked with a little tab for smaller size for storage. Wonderful product. It is easily worth twice what they are asking.       Ralph Mountjoy of Columbia, MO   Rating: Date Posted: 12/26/2007 Review: I got this product for my 9mm & 45 High Point Pistols. It's the best thing out there to load your magazines!!! Very easy to use and it's very fast!!       John Reuter of Old hickory, TN   Rating: Date Posted: 1/21/2008 Review: I bought this for my Ruger SR9, these mags are tough to load but this loader works fine. Plus side is, it works on all of my Glocks, a lot better than their own loaders. I will buy more for my buddie4s and to keep in each range bag.       Diana Le of Clovis, NM   Rating: Date Posted: 1/27/2008 Review: No question this magazine loader is the BEST pistol loader that I've come across. I can't believe that I even bothered with other brands when I could have simply purchased this one and saved myself the headache and thumb pain. I use this for my Glock 22, Glock 34, and Tanfoglio Elite Witness Match pistol (which initially was a pain to load). Glocks are easy to load anyways, but using this makes the process all the more sweeter. As for the Tanfoglio magazines, I purchased high capacity magazines that started to stiffen half way through loading...with this loader, everything is a piece of cake. I would recommend this to anyone!       OTIS W of MEDFORD, OR   Rating: Date Posted: 2/6/2008 Review: Wonderful product, couldn't be any easier to use. Can't recommend highly enough.       Richard Metlen of Simi valley, CA   Rating: Date Posted: 2/11/2008 Review: Finally, something that works as advertised. This is great. Load 380 to .45 no problem. Worth every penny and more.       John DeNeui of Sioux Falls, SD   Rating: Date Posted: 2/16/2008 Review: Just got my Maglula UPLULA Universal Pistol Magazine Loader. After that name it should be good!..And it is!..Better than I could have hoped for. Learning curve pretty flat. Loaded three S&W M&P 40s' in less time than it took to get the rounds out of the shell case (gonna work on that!).Thanks Midway & Maglula       Daniel Fleming of Beaverton, OR   Rating: Date Posted: 2/18/2008 Review: This is a great product. Worked without an issue on Glock 23 magazines.       David Webb of Eads, TN   Rating: Date Posted: 2/27/2008 Review: I watched the UPLULA movie clip link provided by Midway, and decided to order. Use isn't that intuitive, but once I got it figured out, I can easily see how they demonstrated a one round per second load rate. I especially like the fact that it removes all pressure/wear on the magazine feed lips while loading, and that length/width of magazine is not an issue for the device. Obviously, saves lots of wear on your thumb. Body is reinforced polymer, loading "beak" and spring is steel. Note warning from Manufacturer that this device "May not load few types of mags, and mags with less than 8.0mm between their lips". Manufacturer also states that this will load some Mags for .380 (or 9mm short). Product is made in Israel, is of very solid construction and can be highly recommended.       George Grayson of Mooresville, NC   Rating: Date Posted: 2/29/2008 Review: I always take a products claims with a grain of salt. The Maglula Loader is much better than I ever expected. It not only works as advertised but much better. I find it makes loading my Glock 21C.45 ACP magazines a breeze, even enjoyable. Buy it, you can't go wrong.       Gary Thompson of Modesto, CA   Rating: Date Posted: 3/1/2008 Review: The best loader I have used. Worked great with magazines for 1911 magazines and all Glock magazines except the Glock 36, but they are no trouble to load without the Maglula loader. Purchased three and will probably get a few more.       Christian Cafuir of Herndon, VA   Rating: Date Posted: 3/2/2008 Review: Works exactly as advertised. Easy to use and really helps cut down on reloading time.       Randy Wilkerson of St. Louis, MO   Rating: Date Posted: 4/1/2008 Review: NO MORE SORE THUMBS. This thing makes loading mags fun.       GORDON BENNETT of OZARK, AL   Rating: Date Posted: 4/2/2008 Review: I used the speedloader today on 9mm, 10mm, 40 s&w, and 45 ACP it works fine on all of them. Great tool for old hands.       Gary Cassida of Bloomington, MN   Rating: Date Posted: 4/11/2008 Review: I purchased a loader before Christmas. I've used in on two 9mm pistols, two 40cal S&W pistols, and a 45 ACP Ruger. It WORKS like a charm. It speeds up your reloading a mag a lot. It is a vast improvement over the other loaders I've bought or used. Great product and a good Midway price.       Robert Hogan of Fenton, MO   Rating: Date Posted: 4/14/2008 Review: This thing works great on my 9mm XD9 Tactical. It worked fine on my Ruger as well. This is worth EVERY penny!       Kevin Andrews of Tupelo, MS   Rating: Date Posted: 4/15/2008 Review: Loads my 9x18 Makarov and my 7.62x25 Tokarev. Truly one size fits all. No more sore fingers at the range.       Andrew Dalzell of Chagrin Falls, OH   Rating: Date Posted: 4/21/2008 Review: Best pistol mag loader ever. I used it on my .45 ACP 1911 mags and my CZ75 9mm mags. This thing is amazing. It works perfectly everytime. I don't need any other pistol mag loaders (except for my .22, Maglula is too narrow for rimfire mags just as they say it is.) You have got to get one of these.       Craig Hicks of Chapel hill, NC   Rating: Date Posted: 5/1/2008 Review: Excellent product, sure saves time and thumbs. It takes more time to pick up the cartridges than it does to load them with this.       Mike Evans of Nashville, TN   Rating: Date Posted: 5/3/2008 Review: Best shooting accessory I have ever purchased. Makes loading high cap mags easy, fast and without sore thumbs!!!       Eric K of Cassel, CA   Rating: Date Posted: 5/14/2008 Review: Great little product. Well made and works as advertised. Loads up my magazines a lot faster than other brands. However, it tends to stick when loading up a 45 GAP Glock magazine. But it still is a great product!!! I highly recommend it!       Mel Morganstein of Charlotte, NC   Rating: Date Posted: 5/20/2008 Review: The UPLULA is totally super. In fact, the buyer for the gun store/range that I regularly use, "Firepower", here in Charlotte, tested a number of speed loaders and he felt the UPLULA FAR superior to anything else on the market.       Frank Smith of Snowflake, AZ   Rating: Date Posted: 5/23/2008 Review: I just received my UPLULA and found its ease of use to be outstanding. This is far superior to the mag loader that came with my XD9-SC.       James Dunne of Lecanto, FL   Rating: Date Posted: 6/1/2008 Review: Just tried this on several types of mags, including my CZ 82. Worked great on all from 45 ACP to 9X18. Both single and double stack. Today was the first time I could put 12 rounds in those CZ 82 mags without hurting my 67 year old fingers. Will get a second one on my next order.       David Reitberger of Victoria, TX   Rating: Date Posted: 6/6/2008 Review: The UPLULA is the best aid to loading pistol magazines! I just received mine and my fingers are so happy to not be in pain from loading numerous high cap magazines. This loader also is a time saver as magazines can be loaded in record time affording more time to fire the rounds off.       Bob B of Glendale, AZ   Rating: Date Posted: 6/16/2008 Review: Excellent product. Without the UPLULA, loading the last 2 or 3 rounds into Glock 10MM 15 round magazines was literally a pain in the thumb, if it could be done at all. The last 2 or 3 rounds loaded always wanted to slip off of the top round due to excessive magazine spring pressure. With the UPLULA it is a breeze. Even able to load 20 rounds with the 5 round Arredondo extension without breaking a sweat.       J Sanchez of Miami, FL   Rating: Date Posted: 6/16/2008 Review: Simply amazing product! Worked on all magazines we threw at it. I really enjoy range time now - fingers only used to pull the trigger. There is one huge problem though. EVERYONE wants to borrow it at the range. I made everyone get their own - ordered 3 so they leave mine alone plus a spare in case it sprouts legs and runs away. Just bought the one for the AK - hoping that one works just as great as this one does. This has to be the best accessory I have ever bought. You don't have to believe me. Just read the other reviews here - that is what made me get it.       Grant Early of Sacramento, CA   Rating: Date Posted: 6/18/2008 Review: As close to perfection as you can get. This thing works with all my 9mm mags and my .45ACP mags. Never has loading my pistol mags been faster or easier. Simply outstanding.       Charles Green of San Antonio, TX   Rating: Date Posted: 6/20/2008 Review: I own a Beretta PX4 Storm. The company does not have Mag Loaders in stock, was recommended this product. I love it. No problem loading Beretta Magazines.       Randy Axt of Plattsmouth, NE   Rating: Date Posted: 6/22/2008 Review: If you do not use a UPLULA your fingers are either callused or very sore. I have had mine for several months now. Works great in both my double stack Glock Magazines and also in my 1911 single stack magazines. The people that I show it to and try it, usually buy one. Only bad thing, you will be shooting more rounds during your range time, so Ammo up and enjoy. I feel it is worth every penny.       Jeff Davis of Louisville, KY   Rating: Date Posted: 6/22/2008 Review: This device is AWESOME! I have problems for strength and motor control in my hands, making it difficult to load magazines. Not with this beauty. I could fill a 10 round Hi-Point carbine magazine (9mm single stack) in 30 seconds within minutes of taking it out of the package. A few minutes later, I was topping off Ruger P-95 15 rounders that I have trouble filling past 10 with the stock Ruger loader. I showed it to a friend who doesn't believe in magazine loaders and normally does it all by hand. But after trying it on his 45 ACP Glock, and several other magazines, he now wants one. I want another one!     From MidwayUsa web site. Note: The views expressed above are those of each review author. They do not necessarily reflect the position of MidwayUSA.

Loads all my semi-auto mags from .22 to .45 without a problem. Love it."   Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 A Thumb Saver, October 30, 2007 By Hubbabubba from Hatfield,PA   "The UpLula is a great way to save your thumb tip when loading magazines. This is one of the most usefull magazine loaders that I own. I've used it on 9MM as well as 380 ACP all without a hitch. It is a real time saver as well. It takes a little getting used to at first, but with a little practice time you can re-load a magazine in no time flat. I would recommend this to anyone using a pistol that is magazine fed."   Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 Uplula universal loader, October 30, 2007 By AACTS61 from MALTA   "This is the handiest little gizmo. I use it to load all my handgun magazines without effort or trauma to the skin of my fingers.The speed I can do this is incredible. It works with my .45s, my 9mm,and my .40S&W.I dread being on the firing range without it. In fact I ordered another but they are out of stock?? Can I say more that!"   Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 Well it works, November 1, 2007 By 308m from Wisconsin   "There is a learning curve but it does work. If you can muscle them in with your fingers you will probably load mags quicker but if your fingers are weak then this device does make it easier to load rounds."   Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 uplula mag loader, November 5, 2007 By Cincygunner from Cincinnati, Ohio   "I purchased this product to speed load my wife's Kahr PM 9 magazines. It works as advertised. I also tried it on my Glock magazines for comparison to the Glock and HKS loaders. It is not as fast as the company specific loders or the HKS for the Glocks, but if your magazines are not supported by a specific manufacturer this will do very adequately. With a little practice you can load very quickly and it certainly saves wear and tear on the thumbs! The good news is that my wife can now easily load her own magazines. Bottom line, very efficient and worth the price if there are not specific loaders for your magazines or if you load various size ammo and mags. It could be the only/last loader you will ever need to buy."   Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 Butler Creek Uplula Universal Pistol Magazine Load, November 6, 2007 By 243ww from Australia   "Web site was good, Product range good Product description good Order form good Delivery to Australia very good, Communication via Email good. A pleasure to deal with, no hassles and very fast. Thanks"   Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 Excellent helper, November 6, 2007 By rmpltzr from Alabama   "Loading the mags for my new PT 111 was really hard, I could never get that last round in no matter how hard I tried. Getting the loader was a big improvement. Not only does it make loading faster and easier for me, I can also use it on my boyfriend's S&W 5906. It's compact enough to carry in my bag and it's very durable. It's well worth the price to get one."   Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 UpLula pistol magazine loader, November 7, 2007 By brentfoto from San Marcos, California   "This item is handy and convenient. The great selling point for this item is that it's fast and adaptable to so many calibers, and single and double magazines can be accommodated. In the long term, the item will save your hands and fingers undue fatigue, and pain! No more injury or pain is a relief. Recommend as a one-time purchase. I'm not too happy at the price, though. That's why I gave it four stars instead of five. You may pay even more at other sites so you might as well get this from Cabela's, and, at the time I purchased it, I did not have to wait an inordinate period of time in which to receive it. As far as I know, there's never add-on shipping for backorders with Cabela's, so go for it!"   Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 It solved my problems!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, December 31, 2007 By RichardOCSD from Orange, CA   "I purchased 3 of the 11 round Glock magazines for my Glock 27. I could only get 10 rounds in them. I used my UPLULA and got the 11th round loaded! I had busted my thumbs trying to get the 11th round loaded; it never worked. (I tried the minor surgery to the mags as recommended by my dealer. Didn't do the job.) It will help: for normal use; any magazine that is difficult. for the last rounds in a Glock magazine. for the last rounds in a "special" Glock magazine. just for the routine loading of several magazines (3 or more) it will make the job much easier. A bit pricey, but who else has a loader that will do the job? (No one!)"   Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 Uplula Pistol Mag loader, January 8, 2008 By deralte from North Carolina   "Works well and saves sore fingers.

Wouldn't be without it!!"   Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 as advertised, February 7, 2008 By Mook from MA   "one of those rare finds where a product that seems to be too good to be true - isn't. It really does load fast and easy - my only experience is with 9mm luger...but it should work for all calibers advertised for. My only concern is its long term durability due to some plastic parts - but I have loaded hundreds of rounds to date with no problem. Great product."   Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 Uplula rocks, February 7, 2008 By Dleat from Southwest MI.   "I have used the Uplula Universal Pistol Magazine Loader for about 2 months now. I have loaded XD9, M&P45, Hi-Point 4095, and 1911 magazines using this loader. The ease of use is incredible as is the number of rounds that can be loaded in a very short time without sore fingers. I now have to stop shooting to cool the guns instead of having them cool while I load mags. My shooting friends have already bought thier own after trying mine. Excellent product, especially for those who shoot a lot or do not have strong hands."   Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 Good, February 8, 2008 By Mans from Verginia   "Wish they were made for smaller calibers"   Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 Uplula Universal Pistol Magazine Loader, February 12, 2008 By Anonymous Reviewer   "Makes loading high capacity 9mm and .45 caliber magazines a lot easier.

Works on everything I have except for the Glock 36 magazine, which has a bit of an odd lip arrangement. Single-stack 1911 mags load with ease.

A highly recommendable product."   Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 Fabulous!!!!, February 20, 2008 By TXWAVERIDER from Houston, Texas   "When I go to the range I want to spend my time shooting not loading. I only have three 10 round clips for my Baby Eagle .45 and was having a hard time getting the last few rounds in the clip seemed like I spent more time loading than shooting.

My wife has always had trouble loading her magazines (Sig P239 9mm), especially the last round. She has no trouble at all with this product, and it really saves wear and tear on your fingers. It also keeps your hands much cleaner if reloading hundreds of rounds through the same magazine(s), a side benefit I was not expecting. I have rapidly loaded magazines for Sig P239 9mm, Sig P226 9mm, and Sig 1911 Nitron Rail 45 acp with no problems."

You won't be sorry."   Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 The Best, April 7, 2008 By DestinyDawn from Kansas   "I have at least five different magazine loaders, and this is by far the best one.

I've used it successfully with .380, 9mm, .40, and .45 single- and double-stacked mags. The .223 LULA is unbeatably easy for .223 and this UpLula follows in its footsteps making a universal loader that works nearly as easy."   Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 DON'T WAIT...!!! Just Buy It..., April 18, 2008 By MisterBill from Metro-Milwaukee, WI   "This loader is amazing... Works with all of my center-fire magazines... 9mm / .380 / 357SIG / .40S&W / .45ACP...

Great Product !!" Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 no more sore thumbs, May 27, 2008 By VeteranCop from Syracuse, NY   "My Department(Police) recently switched to a new model firearm. During the two day transition, it wasn't getting any easier loading the new magazines. Our instructor let us borrow this Uplula reloader. Very easy to learn and it saved many blisters and raw thumbs. I bought one for myself. Works well with 9-45 cal. firearms. I'll use it every time I go shooting, great time saver."   Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 Mag Loader, May 27, 2008 By RobertS647 from Claremont, Calif.   "Well, it works. Could be easier to function. Somewhat confusing for my wife to use. And that is who I bought it for. But, it does load Sig mags easier than doing it by hand. Not faster though."   Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 If you shoot a lot, May 27, 2008 By Floyd69 from Retired, live in Texas shoot from 1-3 X's A week   "This is an excellent product for loading multiple magazines. The shooter who only shoots once every couple of months would probably not find the product cost effective. This loader really depresses the magazine spring deep into the tube. It bothered me at first but I have not noticed any damage to the springs. Bottom line...If you shoot a lot you cannot be without one for your pistol(s). I load several different types of magazines with this one loader. Several friends shoot competition. All of them have this loader and encourage others to purchase one as it is such a great product."   Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 Uplula Universal Pistol Magazine Loader, June 1, 2008 By macfrmmo from Clinton, Missouri   "With this loader I can load twice as fast as by hand. I have arthritis in my hands and this is the handiest tool I've seen in a long time. I use it to load 9mm clips that hold 17 rounds. Once you get the hang of it, you can load as fast as you can take them out of the box." Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 Very Fast, June 2, 2008 By 1BigPea   "I am very happy with this product. It takes a couple mags to get used to using it but once you get a hang of squeezing and pressing and releasing it becomes very natural. This is is a product that has a permanent place in my weapons bag. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because the only thing that I don't like about it is that the lock is right at the top where you grab it to compress and I find myself locking the loader shut sometimes while loading a magazine. Definitely not a major factor but without that I would have given it 5 stars."   Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 a GREAT THING, June 2, 2008 By kf2ti from Northern New Jersey   "Had one of these and loved it. Saves on thumbs Bought 2 more for presents for my close friends and shooting buddies One owns a 40 the other a 9mm. One thing to note, if you are not careful, you can load a round in backwards, so take your time"   Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 Worth every penny, June 18, 2008 By LarryH1108 from Chicago, IL   "This loader is a minor miracle. After a couple of mags, you can literally load a round a second. Take it to the range and you will shoot more than you load AND no sore fingers or dirty hands. Small, light weight and durable as all heck. If you don't have one, then get one. It's that good. From .380s to .50, no problem!"   Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 Quality made product delivers on promise, June 30, 2008 By PeterB123 from Des Moines, IA   "The UpLULA magazine loader truly does work on nearly any pistol magazine and caliber. It is also made of very durable material and easy to learn to use. I would recommend this to anyone who dislikes loading magazines by thumb." Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 Mag Loader, June 30, 2008 By wkb33919 from Florida   "This is all its cracked up to be. I'm loading both single and double stacked mags with ease.

LULA™loader / unloader

(Most LULA testimonials collected from posts on AR15.com web site in 2001-3; others collected from emails we often receive.)

• "The LULA is hands down the best way available to quickly load and unload AR-15 type magazines.  The LULA enables rapid loading and unloading while dispensing with stripper clips and magazine adapters.  Anyone who uses an AR-15, M4, M16, C7, C8 or any rifle that accepts these magazines needs a LULA.  For military and law enforcement, I consider the LULA to be indispensable."

• I truly enjoy a great product and must say the Lula loader is the best. The quality of products made in Israel is outstanding and I will continue my support of these products. Do you currently make one for the H&K MP5 ? Our SWAT team currently also uses this weapon and would also find this tool valuable.

  Thanks Again

• "The LULA is a dandy little device that is made to easily and quickly load any magazine that is made to fit an AR-15 or M-16, regardless of magazine capacity. It is, without a doubt, one of the neatest little mag loaders ever devised. Anyone that owns an AR-15 type weapon should own one of these. If I can help it, I will never again be without one. The LULA weighs under two ounces, and is very compact. It sells for under 25 bucks, and would be a bargain at twice the price.I give the LULA my highest recommendation. It is light, compact, inexpensive, and it works."

• "I wanted to thank you for an excellent product. I own 3 LULAs and have given them as gifts to over a dozen people. Everyone who uses it loves it! PLEASE finish development on the Uzi version!"  E. Jones, President, Strategic Consulting International

• "I got the loader today and tried it out,it is rare these days to get something that works just as the video shows and advertised. Works great. Thanks"

• "Just wanted to say thanks guys, the LULA truly is nifty and well worth the $$. I will be ordering a few more in December because this will make a cool Christmas gift."

• "The LULA is the coolest accessory EVER! My 3-year-old niece was able to load up a mag for me with it."
  

• "I have one, bought another for a friend, then bought myself another. They're great."

• "I bought a LULA and took it the range with me. All my buddies laughed at me at first. Now they all own one...and I now have 3."

• "Got my LULA in yesterday, and I may have to have another one "just because"!! Great little product. Now if they can only come up with one for the FAL I'd be even happier! :-)"
  

• "When I first saw one advertised I thought that it was a neat idea IF it worked. When I finally got to actually try one out I bought it. I love mine. It's truly one of those items you didn't know you needed, but don't know how you lived without."

• "My LULA has changed my life. Flowers smell better, the air is sweeter, and the buzzing sound in my head has stopped. My co-workers respect me more and children no longer run screaming from my presence. I've had Hollywood starlets lining up to date me, and the rash on my back has cleared up. I feel that financial independence is just around the corner.
  
  Seriously, it's a cool little gadget. I love mine, and I've recommended it to several friends."

• "Best little accessory for the AR15 I have ever purchased. Now, when are you going to make ones for the AK74 and M1A?"

• "Great product! Saves my Nomex flight gloves when loading and unloading. Works like a charm. Nothing's faster."

• "Ordered my LULA from you last year, using it evey since! I love that little thing! It's fun to use."

• "I got my LULA about a week ago...............can't figure out how I ever got along w/o one. Actually, The LULA is a great accessory.............too bad I didn't invent it. Thinking of all of the royalties."
  

• "Purchased one at BRC.. wonderful accessory / works great! Will be ordering more for my shooting partners soon."

• "I bought a L.U.L.A a while ago and they are better than described!! if you dont own one you are missing the boat!! i tell it like this, a L.U.L.A. is like an ar-15 if you never had one you will never miss it. if you have ever had one you cant live with out one. this is a truly fine product and would tell you its the best..."

• "I just received mine. This is truly a great product. Plain and simple, it works!"

• "I received my LULA today and tried it out. These things are the coolest gizmo I've ever bought"

• "The LULA is FANTASTIC!!! My wife keeps asking what the hell that noise is coming from the den and she doesn't know what to think when I tell her that I'm just playing with my LULA!"

• "Fast delivery. I ordered Tuesday night and it got here today (Friday). Takes a second to get the hang of it, but once you do, you don't want to go back. I'll have to show this thing off the next time I'm on the range."

• "I was one of the 150 guys who bought one at the Tulsa gun show. It is so damn cool and so simple I wonder why I didn't think of it. Loading a mag by hand can get old and unloading is downright painful... When unloading with this thing the ammo almost falls out of the mag. Too cool! Best $ you will ever spend."

• "This thing IS the cats meow. My fingers thank you!"

• "Bought four, checked one out and it works fine, gave the other three to some sorry friends. (The thumbs I saved were MINE !!)"

• "Folks, the LULA loader works great. Plus, it will quickly unload your mags when you get back home (like the HK unloader only the LULA both loads and unloads). Now why, you ask, would I leave the range with a loaded mag? Anybody remember Platt and Matix of the 1986 Miami FBI Firefight fame? Don't get caught with an empty gun."

• "I thought it was just a nifty gadget until I used a borrowed one this weekend. Now I've got to get one."

• "Out of all of the bonehead gadgets out there, this is one that ACTUALLY WORKS!!! At twenty some-odd dollars with shipping, it's the best thing since sliced bread and pop-top beer, and oh, did I mention it WORKS? Someday, one of these will be included by every manufacturer with EVERY AR PURCHASE!!! I've been so tickled with this little item that I've been demonstrating it to all of my shooting friends (send residual checks via Paypal to my email address and remove the "NOSPAM"). It really is good and it really works like the claims "

• "They are just fantastic. Wish I had one years ago."

• "Up till this point the first thing I'd recommend getting for an AR is a better trigger. I still suggest a trigger upgrade but second place is now a LULA. Got one at the BRC. Besides saving thumbs loading it's almost fun shucking rounds out of mags."

•  "It beats any other loader I've seen!"

• "One of my shooting buddies from New Jersey swore that the speedloader he purchased from Bushmaster was faster and better. In the time that he loaded 10 rounds into his NJ legal 10 round bushmaster mag, I had loaded 20 rounds into my Colt 20 round mag. At the end of the day after having obverved how easily and quickly I loaded my mags, he finally admitted that the LULA was a pretty good device. I can't wait for the AK version"

• "I bought my lula at the brc... i love it. The only thing i could say is plaes make one for the 30 carbine if you do ill be the first to take one. Thanks"

• "Very good product - does what it says it will!"

• "It is the absolute slickest loading aid that I have ever used, with the added benefit of being and even faster unloader. Very robust engineered polymer construction, lightweight, and ambidextrous; the LULA is an outstanding value.
  I since bought a second one and sent it to a friend's Marine son. No feedback yet, but I expect that somebody will be getting a couple platoons' worth of orders!  I cannot wait for the AK and FAL versions."

• "Very cool, very fast and painless! Now I don't have to baby my stripper clips to keep the little tabs on the ends from breaking off.
  Everyone I've showed it to thinks it's the cooledst thing since crunchy peanut butter, even my wife.  I should have bought two.  Thanks for brining the LULA!!"

• "I bought one on Sunday, loaded and unloaded all my mags several times just becuase I can now!!  No more blisters on the thumb!"
  
  

• "Thanks for the LULA. It works awesome."

• "I picked up a LULA from you in the vendor tent, and it works like a charm. Everyone I've demonstrated it for is just knocked out by it. Thanks for coming out!"

• "Love my LULA. Been messing with it since return to MN!"
