Universal Pistol Loaders - Greatest invention ever?

[emil77]

Hi guys,

Do any of you own a "Butler Creek Lula Universal Pistol Loader?" If so, is it your best investment to date? The reviews on Amazon are solid. Is it worth it?

I'm too manly for that, like to give my thumbs a workout

Depends on how much you shoot. I love em.

it would be nice for loading 20+ rounds in a mag

I have no problem thumbing rounds into my magazines. However at the last training course I was at, I saw a good number of people using loaders and it got me into considering one. When I'm just at the range, I don't mind loading my hand at all. It allows me to slow down a bit, instead of running through all my ammo in like 30 minutes. In training classes though, you always want to gas up quickly so I could see a real benefit in this. I'll probably end up picking up the UPLula before my next course!

The Uplula saves me a lot of time at the range - less time loading, more time shooting. That does mean you can end up burning through more ammo and making your range trips more expensive.

It also make things a lot easier getting the last round into tight magazines.

I got one for my girlfriend because she always has trouble loading in the 10th round.

I ended up using it myself every range visit. I load much faster with one.

Nice, great info!

The uplula is awesome and worth every penny. If you've got a Ruger Mk I/II/III or Browning Buckmark, the Ultimate Cliploader is another must have.

Another Uplula fanboi here.
The things are great. My factory Glock and XD-Gear loaders are in a box in the back of my closet.

Considering getting a Striplula for the AR and converting over to loading with stripper clips.
No, loading the AR mags is cake, but it still takes time.
Last time at Burro, the guys called for a line break, so I unloaded and safed everything, they went out to tend the targets, I grabbed a snack.

I heard my wife say "Watermelon!"
Looked back and the guys were walking back to the line, ready to go hot, and I was standing there with six empty mags, 12 watermelon on the range, and 18 guys on the line with loaded mags.

The UpLula loaders are great and well worth the price, especially when they go on sale. I don't use one all the time but it has made shooting much more enjoyable for my sweetie, and when she's happy at the range I am too.

[TKM]

It's not unusual for me to load up 60 or so mags before heading to the range.

Loves me the UPLULA AR, M1A, and pistol loaders. The Ultimate Cliploader and the 10/22 variant as well.

I pay to shoot, not to show everyone how well I can load the same magazine over and over.

Auto loaders are for girls. The first thing I did when I got my glock was throw my auto loader in the trash.
