I ask because I had a non-trivial power-saw injury to my left hand and thumb back on Mem Day Weekend (emergency surgery, the whole bit ) and so loading mags is much more difficult than it used to be. Never needed a loader before, now it's a must.
I am sure this question has been beat to death here and elsewhere ... just curious as to what is the "best" generally accepted single-stack mag loader for the HP 9mm mags, particularly the carbine mags? Adco, the HP Branded one, others? TIA
Didn't quite cut it off (I tried!) but it's bad enough. It messed up my pistol shooting (gonna have to learn a new grip technique) and likely no more archery for me. I -can- load a magazine the old-fashioned way but it takes forever and a couple of rounds usually end up flying out of my hands at some point ...
I bought the mag loaders from Hi Point, they do work, but it still does take longer than using my Uplula. Not to mention I can use it for my other pistol mags and I think you gain utility beyond whatever you paid for it initially.
Went to local range today and was looking at the loaders. The rangemaster whips out his UpLula and lets me try it out on a single and double stack mag. In about 8 seconds I was like "SOLD!!!" and tossed a new one from the shelf across the counter to the cashier to ring me up. It cost me $36 with tax (I don't begrudge small local places making a profit) but it will pay for itself in a few range visits, as it lets me dump a significant more rounds downrange per hour of range time, AND it keeps my L hand from aching.

And just remember if and when you buy some different guns that same speed loader will work for them to. I use mine to load HP,smith's, ruger, taurus and glock mags and maybe some others i forget i have.
Thats cool. I know guys who load by thumbs are quick and good at it but we have always gone through around 250 rounds on a range day if not more and on the rifles, I have actually never loaded my AR mags with my thumbs. Not that I cant...I just love da Lula's!
UpLULA. For 9MM To 45Cal. It does not say so but will also work on 380`s.And can use right or left handed. I picked one up on Ebay for 19 dollars new shipping included.It came with the single stack adapter.
I have a Bersa mag loader for my 9UC. Not sure if it works on all semi-auto hand guns, but I have used it on a couple others with no problems. Wouldn't be with out a mag loader.
