  1. I have shot M-16 and M-4, (NOT AR-15), both 5.56mm. We just pushed the rounds in from the top of the magazine, the ideal way to load.It's just as fast, and painless! I can, however, see the value in using a loader for a handgun. They are well worth the money.

  2. I received an Uplula just the other day. Getting the 12th round in a Sig P365 magazine was difficult if not nearly impossible, and I’ve got reasonably strong hands & fingers. Watched the manufacturer’s video, but I ended up holding it exactly the same way Steve does. It works. What else is there to say?

    That AR magazine loader looks great as well…. I especially like the fast unloading feature.

  3. I bought my first one to load 9mm AR Magazines. I'd never had trouble loading a magazine until I met the 9mm Colt stick mags! Enter the 13 round Shield Plus Magazines and they're worse! I can load the 10 round magazine easily and I can load 12 into the 13 round magazine easily. With the UpLULA I could get the 13th round into 2 of my 13 round magazines. I could not in the other two. I'll try again in a few days to see if i can.

  4. 0:17 for pistol magazines, you should always load the first round manually, and then use the speed loader for the rest. There are stories of peoples' magazine followers being damaged because they used the loader for the first round.
