As I continue to deal with thumb arthritis, it is becoming less pleasant to load multiple 17-round magazines before a trip to the range. The magazine loaders that I have received with various semi-autos (Glock, HK, etc.) have been less than user-friendly. What is the real deal in the world of after-market magazine loaders?
Thanks, RS

What all them other guys said.
I sold or just threw away all my other magazine specific loaders after getting one.

I couldn’t shoot double stack magazines without the Maglula UpLULA. Great product.

The Uplula is head and shoulders above any other mag loader. It's not cheap but it's worth it.

Another endorsement for the Uplula. I keep one at the house, one at the cabin, one in my truck, and one in the pistol shooting bag. Then there is an itinerant loader that occasionally pops up unexpectedly. I didn't plan on buying so many but after misplacing or forgetting them, I eventually ended up with enough to cover most occasions.
I also have them for M1A and AR-15 mags, there might be better ones but these work pretty well for both filling and topping off mags.

Getting info like this is one of the best aspects of The Campfire.
Many thanks to all.

I don't own one but I have used them, the UpLula's are the best loaders out there. I use the Beretta one and it's alright but it's not as good as the UpLula.

Maglula cant be beat. I fell for the hype and tried the elite tactical and it is a horrible failure. Maglula all the way

Never needed, wanted or used them til this year. Had strong hands and fingers. That fuggen Ritus brother, Art, got me and now I have one for each different center-fire auto plus one for my Ruger auto 22s. Easier, faster, more fun. Mine are of various makes. Had one for 10-22 mags but it was a POS .
