Speed Loaders?

[Jet25]

Maglula UpLULA but read the instructions - Load the first round manually then use the Maglula for remaining rounds.

No problems loading the first round with Uplula. And I can load as fast as I can pick up a round from any kind of container. I’d be done loading when the other guy was still fumbling with his overly complicated loader.

I also load the first round with the Uplula been doing it for years. I grab all ten rounds in one hand and load from there, it is fast enough for me.

 

[sonofeugene]

I just grab one round at a time and count as they are loaded. It happens very fast as I’ve got very agile fingers. If I grab a handful of ammo, that’s more fumbling you may have to deal with.

It works fine, especially if you’re using boxed factory ammo. I lost the top part.

Maglula is an oldie but goodie. But doesn’t load 2011 mags and u need an extra part to load 1911 mags.

Slight modification to the Maglula allows 2011 mags to be loaded without any issues.

i’ve been using the maglula for a long time as well and it works great.

UPlula, a speed loader is for revolvers

I like using the Maglula UpLULA. You can usually find them on sale for around $30.00

I’ve never done that. And I have no idea of why they would say that. The UpLula works perfectly.

Because you could damage the plastic mag follower by putting the metal Maglula foot directly on it and pushing down. Load a round first then put the metal foot on the round vs your follower.

 

[sonofeugene]

I’ve loaded thousands and thousands of rounds with zero damage to the follower. It’s not a problem.

I have never seen a better loader than the UpLula.

you don't want it to load tooooo fast, otherwise you burn through your ammo too quickly...

If anyone is looking for alternatives I've had good luck with this Ludex brand loader, just drop them in one at a time and push down.

WOW! That is very, very cool! I wish they made one for .45 FN!

Stumbled upon a new (to me) speed loader on social media last night; the Unorthodox Designs SLAP Loader.

It's an interesting concept - reminds me of the upLula, but upside down. Not sure if it has as wide practicality as the upLula (which has taken every polymer/metal mag I've ever used on it), but I can definitely see it as useful for those with weak hand strength or older folks.

I got something like that from Amazon a few years ago, it worked ok for a while but it's not any better or easier than a maglula and the disadvantage is that it only works within a certain range and has to be adjusted to use even with different magazines of the same caliber. It's hard to imagine anything better than a maglula, if that's too hard I'm not sure how you could handle a gun under recoil in the first place

Im late to the party but I concur and +10 for the maglula uplula it is the best thing on the market I got mine when they first came out. Best thing ever.

The mistake I made was not lubing it properly. Once I did that it works fine. It does feel like a lot of wear on the mag ramps tho.
