I know many of our members are familiar with the UPLula™ magazine loading tool (UP stands for "universal pistol") made by Butler Creek Industries, but for those who aren't, I recommend you take a close look at it.

This device is slick, and so easy to use. Loading my 13 round BHP magazines to full capacity is effortless and fast. Works like a charm on single stack 1911 mags, too.

Though I'm used to loading magazines the regular old thumb way, and not wanting to seem like a weakling, would not bother with any assist device. After attending several high volume shooting programs, my thumb has thanked my ego for taking a rest; this thing was the envy of many of my fellow classmates.

The only small downside, is you can activate lock closed button if using in your left hand; just practice to avoid.

I'd bet if you didn't like it, you could sell it after just one demonstration.

Nice product.

Interesting Terry - I have some ''dedicated'' devices but they are of course hardly universal. This sounds very useful and I think worthy of following up. Thx for the mention.

Actually decided to order one but the shopping cart was having a hissy fit! I will call them tomorrow - I like the look of this gizmo - vid is very effective.

Works great on 9mm and 45 ACP (double and single stack mag). I spent 4 days at front sight and what a thumb saver. Faster than loading without one. 2 thumbs up!

I also own one and it has spared me much thumb pain in trying to load new magazines. Can't say enough good things about this product. Highly recommended.

I want one.

This was actually the first I had heard of this handy little tool but my buddy was aware of it.

I really want one. I love to shoot but I hate the "magazine thumb" I always come away from a range session with.

I have 2 of them. One for the range bag and another in the house. When I go to the range I'm filling 16 magazines at a time for a total of around 250 rounds. That doesn't include reloading at the range.

I got mine at this last SHOT Show and love it. It's very handy in keeping me from breaking a nail and definitely eases the loading of new mags with tough springs.

I have an AR mag loader from the same company, too, and it makes mag loading a breeze.

Yes. It's a very nice product. It works as well as they advertise in their promo videos.

I didn't know there was a lock-closed button the first time I encountered this feature because I apparently didn't read the entire manual. I thought I had broken it, but later, in better light, discovered that I had simply pressed the button inadvertently.

I haven't tried the one for pistols, however I SWEAR by the one for AR's.
