    Welcome to the world of Glocks.. expect many more disappointments to come
    Lol, only kidding. In all seriousness though, Glock mags are just annoying, most other magazines are much more user friendly (With the exception of that 10th round). A mag loader will definitely help, but you'll also get used to doing it by hand and it will get easier.

        Right, a weapon platform that you have to take half apart to recharge it. And then it only holds 6 .45acps or 5 .357's. It's not the initial loading that is a problem, it's the reload. The on one the top is faster than the one on the bottom.

          I love my uplula! I shoot at an indoor range and its bye the hour. So with the "lula" I get more shots per hour. Its paid for already. Call me what ya will, I like it, and will continue to use it.I don't use it on single stack .45...but on double stack 9mm? You bet!!!

            I haven't seen any revolvers that you have to take apart to reload. They also make revolvers that hold more then 5 rounds

              Glock 17 gen 3 comes with a factory mag loader. It works just fine and doesn't cost you anything. Once you've broken those mags in you won't need it anymore either.

                real bullets are easier first off but fully load them and set them in your safe. it will wear down the spring (a week or two should be fine) then it will be easier for that 9th and 10th round. those are the only 2 that should be hard. i personally dont like the stupid relaoders. i may just be to dumb for them but i prefer had loading.

                  Just for the record, leaving your mags loaded does nothing to the spring. It will be no easier after a week or two. Springs wear out due to compressing and decompressing.

                  I also prefer to load by hand, but for newer Kalifornia legal mags, those last couple rounds can be a pain. My girlfriend also loves the Uplula, so I picked one up as well.

                    6 rds of 45 is equal to 10 rds of 9mm because 9mm is a girly caliber.

                    And if you can't recharge your moon clip fed 45 ACP revolver as fast as you can reload your auto then you just need to practice more.

                      LOL @ the people that hand load for "Man-ly" purposes... You are not going to forget how to load a magazine by using an Uplula. Like someone else here already said, spend time shooting, not reloading.. By the time you have loaded 2 mags with 20 rounds I will be done shooting the 20 rounds i loaded with the Lula.. Don't be scared of a little new technology
