    Five-seveN magazine question

    Is there a trick to stuffing ammo in these darned magazines?

    Tried using my Uplula at the range. Utter fail. [Sniff]

    haha, I had same problem....

    You don't load them like other pistol mags, you simply "snap" them in from the top. Just push straight down!

      yep, you just push down like on a rifle mag. It should be pretty easy to be honest.

      BTW: were you able to get the uplula mag loader over the top of the 5-7 mag cuz I have both and... it should NOT be able to happen... Not without damaging one or the other or both...

        OK. Push down.

        That's what I did with the first two mags. Still I find the pushing down hurts my thin girlie fingers. Good thing I don't have long nails! I'd really be complaining then. lol I'll go fill the third.

        So adding ammo to FiveSeveN mags is giving me decent practice in filling rifle mags? I'll keep that in mind when I shoot somebody's rifle (and thank him too). Plus I'll pick up some extra mags and fill them at home before I go to the range.

        And no, the Uplula won't fit over the FiveSeveN mag, which is rather wide at the top.

              The 5.7 is a fantastic firearm. A true 100yard handgun.

              The magazines are easy to load for me. Just push straight down, it does not take much force.
