Have been using the Maglula magazine loader for quite a while and am always a bit surprised by people who've never heard of them and have not seen them. Thought I'd do a video showing how to use them with close ups of how exactly they work.

Hope some find this helpful.

Yes, once you start using these you really can't go without.

I keep one in my range bag and one in my ammo carrier just to make sure I never end up at the range without one (should I forget to stick the one back in my ammo container before I head out to shoot).

I bought one for my AR mags but haven't tried it out yet.

Panzies!

Just jokes...my thumb hurts from loading 150 rounds of 9 into my G19 mags...

Good job on the video. I have one of the strip Lulas for AR mags and IMO it's worth its weight in gold. I really need to get one for pistol mags.

Nice video. I have one and I don't use it near often enough. Time to dig it out of my range bag. Once you get going you can get through a dozen or so glock mags in a few minutes. Great invention wish I'd thought of it!

That's genius, but for AR mags I prefer the Cammenga.

It is certainly a life saving in the cold. I don't think my fingers like to go more than 2 mags worth if it is really cold out.

That looks easy, might have to try one. I typically do it by hand and then use the Glock magazine loader tool if my thumb gets sore. But I'm not under any time restraints at the range I go to and find that loading the magazines in between strings forces me to slow down. If I were paying by the hour I'd definitely pre-load the mags.

It really is the way to go. I bought one for my wife when she broke a nail trying to stuff mags at the range. Bought one for me too, and it's great, especially for getting that first round into an M&P mag with that goofy follower.

I'd passed by SOOOOO many of those at gunshows over the years, thinking, "ONE of these days..." But that day never got here.

A couple of years ago, I bought 500 rounds of XM193 off a guy getting OUT of ARs, and he threw a Lula in as part of the deal. WOTTA difference THAT makes!!!

I'm lazy now, and pre-load all my mags with 'em. At the range though, shooting gloves makes loading a mag tolerable... :o

Wow! I have seen those for years but never knew it made it THAT easy. Gonna trash my Glock mag loader and get one of these for USPSA! Will definitely help in between matches.

Still on sale at Amazon for $25.04 and qualifies for free shipping. I bought one but haven't used it yet.

Done being a tough guy.

I ordered one from Amazon earlier this evening. My son came over to shoot this afternoon, and as we were loading mags I noticed that he--using his new Maglula--was loading two mags to my one.

I knew they worked, but I didn't know how well. Best thing since sliced bread.

It's really amazing how fast you can go with it, I like to stack bullets in my hand all facing the right direction, and I can really load up a mag quickly.

Thanks for watching.

The Glock loaders suck, big time.

Apparently yours is short enough to allow you to do that.

Snap.

Since I primarily shoot a Glock, the factory loader works fine for me. Works best on a solid surface or your lap.

I don't know why this forum doesn't allow embedded videos.

I have several of these loaders for varying calibers and they do make mags easier and faster to load. I still prefer stripper clips though for speed.
