[balddog05]

i have about 6 magazines for my Kahr CM9 - i also have arthritis in my finger joints and wrist
im looking for an alternative way of loading my magazines and saw this type of thumbless speedloader
im wondering if anyone has this one or if they've used it before - interested in pro and cons if you have

As far as I am concerned, the UpLula loader is the one to use, there are several sizes to chose from! If you can't find one at your local sporting goods store Midway USA or Brownells will have them! The are well worth the money!!

I have two of the 9mm to .45 size and they work just fine with my single stack Kahr mags as well as my double stack Glock mags :biggrin1:

i have 2 Uplula's - both work exceptional well with my double stack magazines and i can even navigate it with my single stacks if i line everything up correctly - the constant opening and closing of the Uplula unit does get painful for my thumb and finger joints - im interested in an alternative, this thumbless loader may or may not do the trick

hoping someones tried it before

thx for the quick reply lefty :)

Uplula can't be beat, but this is still better than nothing, thumbs up from me!

I vastly prefer the ETS Cam Elite Tactical Systems ETS CAM Speed Loader for 9mm .40 S&W Magazines ETSCAM-9-40 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074Q22SQG/

Slide the magazine into the bottom, scoop up 6, 7, or 8 rounds (as appropriate for magazine), put on the slider and press down. No stress on anything.

I do recommend a little lube on the ramp at the bottom to ease the loading. With about 10 uses, you'll be as fast as these videos show.

Hadn't seen that one before. Looks like it works pretty slick.

Uplula all the way.

I've tried many loaders and always return to the one below, I'm in my 70's have different mags this works with all.

thanks for the replies - im going to look into some of these alternative too

meanwhile, i got a little creative with one of my Uplula's and dug out some old cardboard and duct tape - made a little sleeve to slip into the well of the Uplula

it steadies the single stack but there is still the issue of joint pain using it - too much free time :)

so guys, i went ahead and ordered one from their site - they actually have one specifically tailored for the Kahr series single stack magazines - it arrived on Saturday and i've been tinkering with it since then


honest opinion - once you kind of get the hang of it it's very easy to use and smooth - it'll never equate to the MagUplula, especially in terms of speed, but, it is a nice alternative to people like me who tend to experience joint pain using the Uplula - there's really not much to it, a molded piece of plastic with a ridge to seat your round upon, then using your own force, pushing it into the magazine - it lines up well and works as advertised

Uplula also has their own single stack adapter attachment - i bought one of those too :), and without a doubt, the best method for speed loading single stack magazines out there - no doubt, but like i said, the Range Tray speed loader is still a viable option and i'm glad i purchased it

the Range Tray single stack thumbless speed loader - a bit expensive for what you're getting (about $13 buxx) but it does work pretty darn good

the MagUplula with single stack adapter attached - cost is about the same, sold in a package of 2, great accessory

I saw this post late but will add this anyway; I use a ADCO Super Thumb for my CM9 mags. it's like a supplied Glock mag loader. no problems with Art Ritus so far, can use whole hand to force the follower down. easy peasy,no squeze-y.

Used the ETS CAM loader again tonight... using only my single 8 round magazine for the S9 I did 150 rounds at the range and it was a complete pleasure... the guy next lane stole it for a couple Glock magazines and asked where I got it... http://bit.ly/ETSCamLoader

Uplula works well for me, but it is a bit chunky in my kit, so when I encountered this thread last month, I ordered a rangetray.
Finally got around to trying it, and I'm taken aback by how well it actually works (I'm the skeptical type). I love its small size and simplicity, and it's plenty fast for my purposes. I also find it easier than the Uplula to load mags off-hand, without having to stabilize it on the bench. it has a little knob on the side to quickly unload magazines, too. Not terribly useful to me, but I appreciate the cleverness.
It's pricey - if it were mass-produced in China, it would be a 99 cent key-chain give-away - but they're magazine-specific and 3D-printed, probably in small batches, so the mfg is hardly getting rich on these. I'm tempted to buy a couple spares lest they stop making them.
That thumb-ring thing looks attractive, too - kiss: keep it small & simple. Might have to pick up a set.

I have i used it for a Glock 42 it's ok but is very slow to use. For me i found either a Maglulu or one made by Makershot does the trick
