Default Maglula UPLULA Universal Pistol Magazine Loader Questions

Does it work well?

Anybody experience problems with this loader?

Is it available at most gun shops or do I have to order from a catalog?

Thanks for your input.

I have one and I swear by it... It really saves your thumbs at the range when you are constantly re-loading your cl... Magazines.

I've probably loaded a couple thousand rounds with mine and it's still going strong.

Best $25 I've ever spent on an accessory.

Valley Forge Gun Show. They had a booth there.

The company's website is here:
http://www.maglula.com/

And if you do a Google Search for "maglula" you'll come up with a dozen retailers that sell them online.

I'm considering a lula for my AR mags, but the factory Glock load helper works fine for me.

Funny this was brought up.
Saw a guy giving a demo of those products at the gun show.

I didn't try it, but it looked like a well made product that worked as "advertised".

The handgun mag loader appeared to work better than the factory Glock loader I use.

Have one for the AR, HK, AK, M14 & Pistol (I never want me mags ever to be empty cause there aint nothing worse than empty mags )

Seriously, buy it! I first saw them used years ago by the Israeli army and have been using them for years. Great product.

I'd known about the UpLULA for a while and had considered ordering one previously on a few occassions, but they were always sold out whenever I was placing an order from a place that carried them.

Flash back to a few weeks ago, when I bought a new S&W M&P Compact 9mm just after Christmas. The magazines hold 12 rounds, but when I took the gun out for the first time to put 100 rounds through it, I couldn't get more than 11 rounds in either magazine. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't get the last round in the magazine. I know what you're thinking, she's a girl, but none of the men at the last group shoot out here could get the mags fully loaded either. That is, unless I used my newly acquired UpLULA to load all 12 rounds for them

I swear it's literally the best $26 I've ever spent! After I got home from the range after that initial 100 rounds, I remembered that one of the places I do business with had had the UpLULA in stock the week before and thankfully they still had it in stock when I went to the site. After I received my UpLULA, I loaded all 12 rounds in my M&P magazines, as well loaded up every other magazine I had in my house that wasn't loaded: lots of Bersa .380 mags and a bunch of Bersa 9mm mags too. The UpLULA handled each and every magazine without a hiccup and made loading super quick and painless! Trust me, spend the $26, you won't be sorry you did and will wonder why you didn't buy one sooner!
