Torture
Test,October 23, 2009 By
Nedgofrom California
"I gave one of these to my son who
is in the Marine Corps, he was going into SOI (School of Infantry)
and I figured he might be able to use it. After he got home months
later, I asked him about it, he said he used almost daily with live
rounds and blanks. Just as much as loading, he said that being able
to unload mags was a very valuable feature as they did not
necessarily use everything during an exercise. He loved it and it
saved a lot of wear and tear on his fingers / thumbs. He was already
tired and it made a tedious task that much easier. His fellow
Marines asked about it and where they could get one! If it can make
it through Marine Corp training that is a better review than
anything I can do to it out here! Great piece of gear, I have
purchased a few more for some of his Marine buddies going overseas."

There
is a reason this

reviews: it can

solidly on any mag
I've tried.
Working the lever
in either
direction
compresses the
follower/round to
allow another
round to be
inserted, so -
push back, drop in
a round; pull
forward, drop in a
round. Same thing
for unloading
(carrying loaded
AR mags here in
California is a
Bad Idea!) only
faster. Plus, the
lever retracts
into the body for
a bit more tidy

for protection of

MagLULA -- what's
in a name? Not
much, unless it
happens to belong
to one of the
greatest
inventions to
benefit all
thumb-kind! After
loading several
hundred rounds of
.223 into AR15
mags by thumb
"barbaric!", I was
intrigued to note
an invention by
Butler Creek that
would prove to be
boon to thumbs
everywhere. In the
hand, it is a
thing quite
simple. Plastic,
unthreatening,
seemingly
inanimate;
HOWEVER, upon
either unloading
or loading a
magazine the LULA
seemingly takes
flight. No more
would I harm my
clips, no more
would I injure my
thumbs! It turns a
mundane and
painful act into
one of utter
simplicity. I
would wish one on
anyone who loads
AR15 magazines

I bought this
after a

from a friend. It
woks great!
However, it's
doesn't like the
Israeli Orlite
magazines so much,
it pops off after
bullet 26, so you
have to hold it
down. 20 round
magazines are a
little tough too,
at round 18 it
wants to pop off.
The PMAG is the
best. The standard
aluminum 30 round
magazines work
fine too. Just be
aware that not all
magazines are
equal. I highly
recommend this as
part of your range
bag or on your
combat gear. It
unloads magazine
very fast, I was
surprised. I
recommend that if

pouch for it, get
a little snap link
to clip it to your

For a .223 AR

I'm very fond of
the UPLULA, the
MagPul universal
pistol magazine
loader. I just
tested the .223
loader and
unloader and it
works very well. I
wasn't sure if I'd
like it much
because I thought
it might be some
hardware of
dubious value,
given that loading
.223 magazines is
a lot easier than
loading pistol
magazines. I found
the .223 mag
loader to make the
loading process
considerably
faster, even after
taking time to
install the mag
loader and remove
it after the mag
is loaded. The
loading was easier
and faster, but
the .223 magazine
loader and
unloader really
shines when
unloading an AR
mag. Flip the
toggle lever and
the rounds just
drop out
effortlessly.
While .223 mags
are generally easy
to load, they're a
big pain to unload
manually. The .223
magazine loader
and unloader
securely attaches
to both USGI metal
mags as well as
the newer MagPul
polymer PMAGs.
