Love mine. Only problem is at the range someone sees me using it and I lend it to him to show how it works. Pretty soon it's being passes up and down the line. I should just buy another and rent it out!!:joker:
Can't imagine not having one now. It's a great invention, saves the hands/fingers, esp. if you're at a training class firing off 400-500 rounds in a weekend.
I think it's pretty unanimous the Uplula is well worth the money. I have one for my glock and one for my AK. I got a bit of a deal on the pistol one because I was at the "Glock Days" at the LGS and the sign said 10% off all Glock accessories. I said "It fits a Glock so I get it 10% off right?" The clerk said "Yep" and range it up. The glock furnished one works, just not as easily as the Uplula, I do wish they would change the name though, it's tough to remember the spelling when somebody at the range sees it and wants to know where to get one.

As if it were needed...one more enthusiastic vote for Uplula. I have a touch of rheumatoid arthritis in my hands (ah the joys of getting older), and there are some days I just can't push even the first round in a 9mm mag. Picked up the Uplula based on some good reviews on Amazon, and have not been disappointed at all.
The first time I ever used a Upula loader I was sold on it. However, it was always on the back burner of priorites.
Finally, two years after using one for the first time, when I bought my M&P, the Upula reloader was part of the kit which came with the gun. I was a happy camper.
I was impressed that S&W actually included such a high quality product as a give away, rather than the cheap ones you get with Glock and other manufacturers.
The Upula is one of those things which you'll wonder how you got along without it.
Bark'n, I've never heard before that S&W included an Uplula with any of their M&P's. Never came with either of mine. But IIRC yours was a special one, right?
+1 uplula. The last couple of rounds in my 13 rd. subcompact mags are pretty tough without it. I can do them, but why bother if there's a tool for that?
Several years ago, I actually ordered my UpLULA from Israel.... UpLULA Magazine loader & unloader, Speed Loaders They gave me excellent service and this particular site also has other items that folks might be interested in. JMO
When my Dad got me one I thought "why would I need this, I've been loading mags by hand for years." Then I used it and realized that it really does ease the loading process and I would hate to be without one.
I thought the price was outrageous and told the guys at the gun store so. When they convinced me of how much easier it would be to load my 17 round M&P mags, I said, "OK, but it's the LAST thing I'm buying for my gun!"
You really can't load my .40 caliber CZ100 without one. Loading 10 rounds by hand is almost impossible and just about breaks your thum. You would never be able to load enough magazines for a trip to the range.
Great piece of equipment to add to the range bag. Got 2 one for .380 and the other for 9 mm. Saves the old thumb
