I Pity The Fool Who Doesn't Use A Maglula

Awhile back, I asked if the Maglula was worth it's cost.

I was told yes.

I finally got off my backside and bought one from Midwest.

It came in today.

I have to say, I should have bought it sooner.

Man oh man, it's a snap to load my PMag magazines now.

Without this device, I couldn't load more than 25 manually and it took a lot of time.

A man in the IDF invented it.

He should be awarded a medal for inventing such a great item!

I bought one when my wife gave me my SR1911... I knew i would have problems even loading 5 rds into the magazine... (this due to weakness from ALS)... I use it to load all my magazines.... 9mm, .40S&W, .380, and the .45.. Went to the range one day and forgot it.... needless to say i didnt stay to long there

Abraham,

If you get a chance, how about a link to the one you bought that you like.

Thanks!

If I do not have a bench to push against, I can load with my UpLula by pushing against my belt buckle while standing or pushing against my thigh while sitting. Love my UpLula whether I have a bench or not!

This is one of the first things I purchased when I started shooting pistol regularly (again) a couple of years ago.

just search "MagLula" on amazon and look for the universal pistol loader. Thats the one I have.

Much easier than any other device I've tried.

I purchased my uplula mag loader last year because you can use it for 9mm to 45acp, but with single stack 1911 mags they would wobble inside the loader. But I found out that there is a snap on 1911 adapter you could get but nobody I could find had it in stock so I ordered it through Opticsplanet and got it in about 8 weeks and it works great and two adapters come in pkg, also you attach them to the little ring on the Uplula then snap it on and when you need to load another caliber you just pull it off but it stays on the loader with the ring

I totally understand RetNavy my SR1911 mags are extremely stiff but the Tripp Cobra and CMC mags are not

I keep seeing these things in the stores, but haven't gotten one yet. Are they really that much easier to load with? Ya'll are tempting me.

I can load mags faster with it so more time spent shooting

I found amazon to have the best price, and yes they're that much easier. They sell a lot of them for a very good reason. Might take you 30 seconds to master, then you'll kick yourself for not getting one sooner.
