Uplula Magazine Loader

[alamogunr]

I've had this loader for a couple of years now but haven't used it lately. I decided to give the magazine springs a rest on several of my handguns. Now I'm ready to load them up again. I could have sworn that I loaded Glock magazines using the Uplula, but this time I couldn't make it work. I tried it on 9mm(Glock 19) and .45ACP(Glock 21). Couldn't get the first round in.

I had no problem with Para Ordinance steel magazines. Worked slick. I haven't tried Sig 9mm or .40.

I checked the website and found no information concerning the two Glock models above. I must be doing something wrong. Anyone have a suggestion?

BTW, I've loaded the Glock magazines(5) the hard way. I don't want to continue doing it that way if I don't have to.

I don't have any more Glocks, but the loader goes where I go when shooting. I did have a Glock 17, 19 and 30.
I'll use it to load my little Ruger and my CZ 75 SP01.

Not to be a smartazz, but you did put the loader over the magazines in the right direction, didn't you? I ask because there were times that I didn't and also couldn't load anything.....

Yeah! I did that when I first tried to load the steel magazines for the Para's. I even questioned if I had made the same mistake again when I tried the Glocks.

I have and use on my sig and G21 cant help but think user error

[alamogunr]

No help! The loader does fine with Para mags. The video demonstrated loading .45's in a Para Wart Hog magazine.

I'm going back out to the shop and try again with the Glock magazines.

IDK is the lock
on I just went down and loaded up my G21 mags and works just fine

They work on virtually any single or double stack Magazine. I have been loading Glock magazines with mine since they came out. I have several of them and put with all my Glock pistols and also use them on my CZ pistol mags.

I just loaded a bunch of Glock .40 S&W mags for my Ruger PCC .40, and they are all 22 and 31 round mags. Couldn't load them without this tool it would be miserable. When on the range at Front Sight I have one in my Dump Bag to load loose rounds while waiting to shoot.

Couldn't live without them.

I also use them on my G21 mags,,, so yes they do work on all Glock Mags. Don't know what you are doing wrong ? Do you have the lock on?

I use mine to load Glock magazines all day long. For Glock matches, I load 40+ magazines over a couple of hours using mine. Works perfectly.

I know it is late but I wanted to pass this on. I went to the shop and tried once more. It was obvious that the previous round was not being pushed down far enough to allow the next round to be inserted. I did a little bending on the arm(?) that pushes the round down in the magazine. Luckily, I didn't have to bend it very much. All rounds, 9mm and .45ACP went in as I was used to.

The only explanation I can think of is that I pushed too hard on the last round the previous use I had for it. I may have lost round count and pushed extra hard when the magazine was full.

Glad to hear that you have found the problem.....

[LUCKYDAWG13]

good to know thanks for letting us know what to look for

[Larry Gibson]

I've also loaded a variety if double stack mags with my Uplula (Para, CZ75, M8, M59, Glock) of mostly 45 ACP and 9mm. With the adaptor single stack mags are also easily loaded. They can be loaded w/o the adaptor but it's kind of a pain. Never had a problem with mine......

[Rick Hodges]

Works fine on Glock 23 40 S&W magazines.

I know that they are a blessing when you have neuropathy......

I use mine to load Glock magazines all day long. For Glock matches, I load 40+ magazines over a couple of hours using mine. Works perfectly.
