Magazine Loader

[Gooseman]

I went on a shopping spree picking up some standard cap magazines for my Glock 17. Those new magazines sure are hard to load! I know the spring will become easier to handle over time but I was looking into getting a magazine loader... Something like the Maglula UpLULA. Anybody have any feedback (good or bad) on it? If there's a better manufacturer out there that I'm not aware of please let me know.

Thanks.

I bought one it is awesome. Had to buy some M&p mags and couldn’t load them the springs were way tight. Bought one of those world of difrence

Get the Maglula, sure they'll get easier to load as the spring breaks in...in about 10,000 rounds....lol

maglula is best...

The Maglula Uplula is by far, the best $30 accessory I have ever bought. So much so that I bought a second one because when I shoot with my son, he was always taking my Uplula.

It is one of the first accessories I recommend to newer or returning shooting. It is something to toss in the stocking for a shooter. It is great for Fathers day. Buy one now and thank us all later.

Had my uplula for over 10 years. Loaded thousands of rounds. Still runs like new. I tried other loaders and they are all collecting dust.

The Plate LLC and ETS loaders are pretty slick as well once you figure it out.

Thanks guys!

Well I guess that settles it; the Maglula it is then. Kinda surprising to find out that Amazon actually sells it!

The ETS loader seems like a winner. I'll be picking up borh this week, seems like I can't go wrong with either.

Maglula all the way!

Pro Tip: Buy any color but black. Black is hard to see in a black range bag and everybody else has black. So if you shoot with others or in a class, it's nice to be able to easily identify your loader.

I have the 1st and 2nd generation of the ETS loaders. They look simple enough to use. I have not found them to be as simple as their videos show. I have had others try it at my LGR and they have not worked as advertised for them either.

I have spent some time playing with them and I believe they can still be improved. The issue is the ammo tends to flop to one side or the other and gets jammed where it enters the housing part just before entering the mag.

Maglula. I got a second one just to have another, I did have to send one back though as the main metal tab/tongue that does the work was bent, soft metal, etc. It was kind of an orangish, rust color model. Now have black and a green, no problems.

[JohnBrian]

I have the one that came with my Glock. Works fine.

[adamjay]

Yeah. Get a maglula.

I have a few differant magazine loaders that do very well. One of the oldest ones just graduated college.
