Magazine loader for 10 MM

[roysha]

To save everyone the necessity of declaring me a wimp, I will acknowledge it up front.

With that said, I am having a difficult time loading my 10 MM S&W M&P magazines, especially after there are 7-8 rounds in the magazine. I use an HKS magazine loading tool but even with that, it is very difficult to load the last 3-4 of the 15. My 80 years old fingers just don't have the strength they use to have.

These are the toughest magazines I have ever had to load. I'm not sure why S&W feels that the magazine spring needs to be that strong but it sure is. As much as I hate to say it, my grandson's 10 MM (cringe) glock is not anywhere near as difficult to load. Heck, my SIGs, albeit in 9mm, 40 S&W and 357 SIG, practically load themselves compared to the S&Ws.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good magazine loader that they have personal experience with for difficult to load magazines?

An uplula mag loader works on my Glock 20 10mm

I've used the Uplula with a 10mm Glock 20 magazine without any problems.

I use the Uplula to load the mags for my Steyr M-40 and it works great.

Uplula here - for pistol calibers, for rimfire pistol mags, for 10/22, AR and AK. Yeah I love their products :)

Another Uplula fan,, by a wide margin!

Another recommendation for Uplula. I have one and a spare. Works great for any double stack or 1911. Gives more grip area to grab it than most. Just plain works.

But…..is there anything wrong with simply loading only the 7-8 rounds? 7 rounds of 10mm can accomplish a lot!

Another thing you might try is leave your magazines loaded for a while and see if the springs weaken enough to suit you.

And lastly, use a .357 revolver instead. Much easier to deal with and very similar power.

And another for the Uplula. I use it for my 10's and basically everything else. Not everyone can use a revolver (fingers in my right hand due to nerve damage) as they "rotate" on me after the first shot. I have to change grips.

thanks to Uplula only I could completely fill the magazines of the HK 45.
otherwise I would have had to use a vise or a hydraulic press_

I have 4 of the Uplula Loaders, one each in my 9mm, 380, 45 and 32 bags. I had to modify the metal tongue on the tan one for the 32's to make it narrow enough to fit between the magazine feed lips, but it was worth it.

Yet another Uplula fan. They work on just about everything.
