Glock magazine loading tool

[AlHO1966]

Am I the only person who uses my own hands to load glock mags? Making me feel like a poor here.

+1 on the hands God gave you and a decent bench...

Another vote for Uplula. Works great for all my Glocks, XD’s, Berreta, and with the adapter, my single stacks in 9mm, 10mm, & 45acp.

I resisted for a long time but once I tried one, I can’t be without it. My Wife even made me buy her one of her very own (win-win!).

Thanks all. I have arthritic fingers and am not the man I once was but I can be the man I was once. Or something like that.

I'm using the magazines in a Ruger PCC so no loading tool, yet.

You have to squeeze the Uplula loaders, so if you have good hand strength, they work fine. You still have to pick up the rounds and feed them into the mags.

The Butler Creek loader has a long lever with a cam you work back and forth to load or unload rounds from the mag. You have to load the rounds individually with your fingers.

In a free state, loading a 33-round Glock 18 mag would be no fun without a loader.

Maglula.
Buy a pink one so your friends won't swipe it when you're not looking.

Man up...hands and fingers!

I have half a dozen 33 round mags and a 40 round KRISS mag. I cannot load the mags fast enough when my kid runs them through a machine pistol that empties them out at 1700rpm.

I'll admit that I enjoy the zenness of loading magazines. But when I shoot, I shoot a LOT. Experience has taught me that by the end of a full day of shooting, my hands can be torn, sore, and bloody. If I start the day by being a sissy with my MagLula, then I'll finish the day with more focus and better speed and accuracy.

If at the end of a day of shooting, your hands are not sore, then there's no reason to quit shooting.

Only chumps use their thumbs.
Glock loading tool works well, but the Uplula works better.

Another vote for Maglula, and yeah I bought a couple in pink also. Pretty sexy-looking actually! The Glock one works but the Maglula is way better. I always poo-pooed magloaders after 30+ years of loading by hand, but I bought a couple for my wife and daughter and now I use one all the time. Work smarter when possible...

This. I can load fine with just my bare hands, but after a while, it takes a tole on the fingers. I tear my fingers up enough as it is. Why do it more when a simple loading tool works great.

Pink isn't a bad idea. No worries about anyone swiping my black one, but a pink one would be easier to find in the bottom of my range bag.

I keep on Glock loader in my bag just as a backup. I never use it.

[NoHeavyHitter]

The Lula works great for a variety of magazines. I had the most difficult time finding a decent loader for Desert Eagle magazines.

[Nephthys]

I have the ETS loader and I hate it. I might be wrong but it forces rounds through the feed lips from the top, prolonged use of it cant be good for them, can it?
