Earlier in the this thread I posted about the "Makershot" AR mag loader. I ordered 2 (one for a friend). $20 for both loaders. There was a little vid on the add on Ebay that made using the loader look almost effort free. Not so much. They do work but...

I decided to get an AK-Lula when I ordered some AK SCM's. All I can say is I will be getting an AR-Lula and probably get a Maglula for my pistols...

Thank you for the comparative feedback!

The Striplula works without strippers as well.

For the clips, there are plastic one and metal one. The metal clips is easy to load into mags.

Personally, I prefer working with strippers...ymmv.

Well I bought a few speed loaders since freedom week...

The Maglula Bench loader...
The Uplula..
The Striplula
and the ETS loader...

I would have to say they all work well...but 1 really stands out. The ETS loader! After watching videos of how the ETS loader works, I found it really hard to believe that it works that well. As soon as I received it, and pulled it out of the box, I loaded that sucker up and...zzzzziiiiiippppp! Magazine loaded! That easy! After reading all the negative reviews about the ETS loader...I was definitely skeptical of the ability of this loader to load 1 mag let alone multiple different mags...It definitely worked with all the double stack pistol mags I have...and worked insanely well with my new glock 33rd mags!



Get an ETS Loader!

You got the ETS pistol loader? I might have to pick that one up too. Even though the rifle loader lists 9mm it would only work on mags that can be loaded straight down (CZ Scorpion I assume) rather than in the front and slid back like Glock mags, Rifle loader is doing plenty loading both 5.56 and 7.62 IMHO. Great loaders and seems like the plastic will hold up, but we shall see.

Yes the pistol loader.

For the price...it's more than worth it.

Worked with:
Beretta mags
Glock mags
Sig mags

Yeah, I was hoping the rifle loader would work on Glock, etc mags....no joy.

Another $21.50 to Botach.

Of course...they’re out of stock.

LULA's have been the standard for magazine loaders since at least 2002.
I wish they'd make one for HK 91 mags.

from all the reviews that did compare the maglula and the ETS. everyone gives the speed to ETS, as long as you are loading from the tray.

if you pour your ammo together and it is loose, both are about par with each other for time.

One more vote for the ETS pistol loader. It’s faster than maglula

[InfringedInCalifornia]

I’ve found that i can drop rounds into an empty tray and then pick up with the ETS faster and easier than the maglula still. And even if you can’t do that faster it still much easier on the hands.
