I use the MagLula..  I 'can' use my thumb, but to me, why bother.  at the range, i'd rather be shooting than loading, so anything to make it easier and faster, fine for me...

 

if its good enough for Hickok45, its good enough for me.. 

Another vote for the Uplula.  Whether you have strong-like-Putin or weak-like-PeeWee hands you'll load magazines faster with the Uplula.

I use an UpLula mag loader, don't go the range without it. I just find it way faster then hand loading mags. The only caliber pistol ammo I do by hand is .22lr. Wish I saw the pink one before I got the black, I would have bought it. Less chance of it "mistakenly" finding it's way into someone else's range bag in that color.

Yeah the .22 Ruger MK IIi was easier to load with the helper slide on the mag.

 

Lol. I guess that's a decent reason to go with pink.

Besides that it matches my AK

Mag loading might be like dirt bike tire changing. If it's too hard, it's probably how you're doing it. But faster is always better to me.

 

And anyone with a Beretta... Dies hand loading your mag suck as much as I described?

Ha. That's excellent.

Pee Wee did a lot of work with his hands. Don't under-estimate his hand strength. Especially his right hand....

Between the Harley and the work I do my hands take enough of a beating. I'll be lucky if I make it to 50 before I get arthritis and carpal tunnel. When I shoot my Glock I steal the old ladys pink LuaLoader thing. It's faster and easier on my hands. I can load them by hand but why bother.
