I got a new rifle that takes glock mags. I never owned a mag loader, but these G26 springs are TIGHT (at least as tight as my old Sig 229 mags). Plus, if a guy happened to get 33-round sticks during a brief legal window, what kind of glock mag loader should he get?
Oompa Loompa still the best?
Thanks!

2Uplula is the One Loader to rule them all. Best $30 you'll ever spend on shooting accessories...especially if you live in states with no capacity restrictions. The 33-round mags are breeze with one.

4Love mine! Shared it with a gal at my CCW class who was having trouble loading shield magazines. She loved it too, ordered one right quick. Gave her a brief demo and off she went for 2 4-hour loading sessions.
Re: Best Mag Loader
64th vote for uplula. Those fun sticks are a royal PITA to fully load without one, but they're an absolute breeze with one.
Re: Best Mag Loader
8Alright, I will get one. I assume they are made by little orange people with green hair?

Re: Best Mag Loader
15I own three uplula - one on bench; one in range bag; and a spare in the event one goes missing. I once left my sole unit on home bench on range trip - that ended my reluctance to spend the money for another, so I bought two more. One is the $15 Chinese knock off found on Ebay.

Re: Best Mag Loader
16Well dammit, someone has to say something different.
I have a Caldwell Mag Charger. It does have the advantage of having an adjustable magazine gripping system that adjusts to the exact width of the magazine then holds it in place. The real advantage of this is that it may allow a person with handicap or injury to the hand to be able to use the device. It would be slow, but it could be used with one hand.

I got this loader in a bonus pack of stuff with some gun I bought. I don't use it, I use the Uplula like everyone else.The Caldwell Mag Charger Universal Pistol Loader is ideal for all of your semi-auto magazine loading needs. The simple to use speed loader works with all of the popular handgun calibers; 9mm, .45 ACP, .380 ACP, .40 S&W, .357, and 10mm. The sturdy polcarbonate construction is designed for years of use.
The adjustable side shims on the charger align magazines of any width for optimal use. The lock knob keeps the magazine firmly in place. All you have to do is simply drop a round into the charger the squeeze then hand grip. The round is then loaded into the magazine.

Re: Best Mag Loader
18Get the oompa loompa loader. It was popular and prolific today at the MITM Combat Shooting course today, I think half of us had one because they work so well. That Caldwell thing is interesting, and perhaps the right fit for specific applications, but damn, you need an extra gun case to lug it around!
Re: Best Mag Loader
19It's not really that big, although it is 3 times of the Uplula.

Re: Best Mag Loader
22Saw an Lgc member running the Ets yesterday. It’s real fast when it works, which is mostly but sometimes it jams up.
Re: Best Mag Loader
25Thanks for the videos Hiker.
I also thought the Caldwell would be heavy, it's less than a pound. Still weight is a concern between guns and ammo. Prices aren't bad.
