UpluLa - Mag Loader
Just bought a SW MP9 range kit. Great deal--Gun, 3mags, holster
and mag pouch and case. Also included is a UpLuLa mag loader. This works really well. ( the MP mag springs are a real thumb buster - I might use them on my car in winter) This mag loader is made in Israel, where reloading is uhm - important. This thing works great and is quite effortless. I never heard of them before getting one in my SW kit. Thumbs up Rating JD |

I use one for loading AR mags, but haven't tried the handgun model. Glad to hear it works well, too.

I bought one also, very useful that it's universal.

I've been trying to wear mine out for awhile with help from my wife. It's probably loaded around 5000 rounds so far and shows no sign of loosening up or of significant wear.
I recommend them heartily and also recommend that you read the instructions that come with them or look at a youtube video demonstrating their use. They're very easy to use, but not so easy to figure out without some pointers.

UpLula
If you have an M&P 9c you will need an UpLula. They are great!

Got one in my Christmas stocking a couple of years ago. Santa has been on my A list ever since. Easy, comfortable, fast loading of any magazine. A must-have, IMHO.

I just recently got a M&P9 range kit myself. I 100% agree that it is a great deal and that the UpLula loaders are fantastic.

Grabbed myself one on a whim. Can't say I miss getting sliced and diced by my PX4 mags.

I don't even own a gun yet and own a Uplula mag loader... I realized very quickly when renting guns that I didn't enjoy loading mags especially when you get down to those last few rounds. Can't wait to put it to work.

They're fantastic. I swear I should sell the things because I let all the new shooters I teach use one and they always say, "I'm getting one of these!"

I have both the Uplula and Baby Uplula mag loaders, and they work great. I appreciate them the most in cold weather, when loading mags can be a challenge with numb fingers.

Every range bag should contain one. It even works on most single stack mags.
Two (healed and unscarred) thumbs up! |

I also have the Uplula and Baby model. I have arthritis in both hands and this is a tremendous help.

UpLula is one of things like TiVo used to be. Your friends wish you'd shut up about how great it is until they get one.

They are indeed great.
I never felt the need for one with my 1911s (it isn't all that hard to load those mags, and the loader doesn't seem to make it much easier), but when you're tossing 17 rounds of 9mm into a magazine they're a real lifesaver. The bigger the magazine, the more you need one. |

I've got two! Bought my first one and when the family went out to shoot....................everybody wanted to use it.
So I got another one..............I just keep it in my pocket so that way I've always got a loader. |

I have two for pistol (large and small) and the one for the AR-15. I can't live without them and they work great. Hats off to the guy(s) who invented them.

are they significantly different that the models that come with an Xdm or a Walther?
I've always found it's easier to use my thumbs - getting the rounds fully seated in the mag always seems awkward. But then I do very little reloading on a bench.

Have their Lula model for AK, one for AR, one Uplula and one modified Uplula with narrowed plunger to fit 22 mags which works better than the baby one I had. You could use the modded one for both but I keep one with my 22's which rarely go to the range at the same time as my 9 or 45.
Have since switched to stripper clips for loading AR but it is still very usable for unloading mags. Best thing since sliced bread. |

Anyway, C7AR15, judging from your name and your location, you are in Canada. Am I right? Are you able to keep the pistol at home, and travel to the range with it in the case? I think that is what my buddy in Sparwood told me years back. Is the whole Canadian long-gun registration just a bad memory now? Bart Noir

Uplula is awesome and everyone should own one imo unless you rarely shoot your guns
