Not a very good comparison, use the butler creek correctly next time.

[@gossettcd]

What did he do incorrectly?

[@worldwideguitarman]

Another great video. Two days ago I bought my wife an M&P Shield 9mm for her to keep in her purse and car. The factory mags loaded easy to the last 2 rounds. This is a single stack 7 and 8 round. So you really don't want to leave out 2 rounds. They were both so stiff on the last round I actually dented the casing of of the top round trying to get the last round in the mag. Yesterday I bought an Uplula from the same shop we bought the weapon on a recommendation from the shop. He took a few seconds to show us how it worked and I was sold. Brought it home and can load both mags to the last round in about half the time it took to load one of them by hand. I had the same trouble that you did with the alignment but a grip change fixed that issue. I just grip the uplula like I would the grip of a pistol and it stays in alignment perfectly. Thanks for all the great material!

[@Verylukyguy]

LOL. People should take your rating and opinion with a grain of salt too. You tried to load a single-stack mag with a double-stack loader, so you obviously don't know what you are doing. Butler Creek is the Company that makes the UpLULA and the ASAP. DERP.

[@bluracer766]

I have a Uplula, got it a few years ago for about $24.00, love the way it saves my thumbnails from agonizing pain. I read somewhere that there's a piece that's made to make it easier to use it with a single stack magazine.

[@deuceandguns]

Yep, they now have a single stack adapter.

[@1Mannco]

@@deuceandguns I have the older Shield 9mm and does that single stack adaptor come with it or sold seperately?..thx

[@jacobstaten2366]

My childish brain wants to draw eyes on the Uplula so it looks like some weird creature swallowing the rounds. "Om nom!... Om nom!"

[@davidmorrison3765]

I bought one of those butler creek ASAP magazine loader, 38 to 45 caliber and I have a 9 mm Taurus G3 and it won’t load the magazine

[@Drizzt2688]

Kinda biased test. You have 15 years experience with the smaller one. So of course you will do it faster. Think it would've been better to get someone who doesn't have experience in either one to truly test them out. Just something I noticed. Good video though.

[@weedXD38]

How's it going?? Awesome test, I've been using Lula for many years, can't say enough good things about Lula, time save at the Range means more l can Shoot!!!! Good Stuff!!!!

[@tymz-r-achangin]

We could care less if there's a mere half minute difference. We're not competitors at a speed loading sports event. We just want a cost effective product that at least works decently. Especially with the high costs of ammo, that started back when you uploaded this video 3 years ago , there's not nearly as many people shooting their guns for fun and thus would a quite a few magazines to load up, but shooting them now n then for more of the purposes to keep in the grove with their shooting skills.

[@nathancunningham8717]

Had them both and the SpeedBeez Ar15 loader is the best IMO. Just sold my Maglula

[@duckow1]

just paid $68 incl shipping in Canada - can't get it from US - they won't ship outside US😢

[@gggromay]

Naa, its super obvious you are loading the rounds incorrectly into the Butler, and the rhythm is clearly off on the Butler, yet the UpLula is in perfect rhythm.. whether you did it intentionally or because of lack of practice with one vs the other, this test is useless

[@ThomasShue]

I guess they don't sell on Amazon anymore, it's not in your store anymore

[@deuceandguns]

The Maglula company sued Amazon for selling counterfeit versions. I guess they pulled them until the lawsuit is resolved. My link was to their official Amazon store but they are still available from just about any sporting goods shop that sells firearms.

[@TwoFeatherChannel]

Plus Butler Creek loader is too large.

[@gerardmcquade9102]

you weren't letting the butler creek come up far enough for the spring arm to push the rounds back so you were slowing it down by using your finger instead

[@molonlabe9602]

Them there are thumb savers, not magazine loaders...another vote for UpLula.

[@pmorin313]

You don't need to keep pushing the rounds in with your finger....the Butler Creek will push the round in itself

[@Superman-xr1oh]

Exactly. I have the same loader and it works fine.

[@sams-kv9ul]

I was going to say the same thing, plus you could push the assist instead of the round itself if for whatever reason it doesn't push the round on it's own. This was all user error.

[@Mike242]

Anyone who chooses a butler creek speed loader over a uplula is probably the same guy that carries with an empty chamber 😂

[@neiljohnson6815]

These are not "speed loaders". Speed loaders are a specific device used with revolvers. These are loading tools.

[@blaws6684]

You said it yourself. You’ve used the uplula for years. The other is new to you. Of course you are slower with it since you don’t know yet how to best use it.

[@yliberal6355]

Butler Creek is the seller for the UpLula, ironic! This UpLula seems to be far better than the XPM 40 mag loader gear that comes with the entire kit. Man, I had to get my granddaughter to help, you know cuz I’m a granma, lol. Those 19 mags have a very hard spring. I also am thinking about converting it to a ten mag, California!

[@heiner71]

I don't think the Butler Creel loader would do better if you only load 17 round mags. It would likely start getting into trouble at around 10 rounds. It's not the total number of rounds to load, it'd how much spring tension the tool has to overcome.

[@Bill23799]

Brass Powder Flask, Brass Powder Measure, brass capper, Nipple wrench, 100 .454 round lead balls, 100 pre lubed wads, One Lb Black Powder substitute, Pkg #10 Remington Percussion caps.

However after more thought I waited another month to save up for the Brass Frame Pieta 1858 New Army for $229.99. I have been experimenting with making paper cartridges using cig rolling p[apers. Have you ever rolled your own paper catridges for your BP revolvers?

[@deuceandguns]

@@Bill23799 I've never tried the paper cartridges but I've seen people use them. The 1858 New Army is nice because you don't have to deal with the wedge every time you're cleaning and that wedge does wear out eventually.

[@jameshealy4594]

Is a 17rd glock magazine really no problem? I would have thought the increasing spring tension as the follower descends was at least part of the problem, that might not scale exactly as you think. Just curious, I have no experience to make a statement but if the problem is % of rounds loaded then it's even worse than you thought.

[@deuceandguns]

The 17rd mags do work a little better. The 33rd mags need a stiffer spring because they have to overcome more weight and friction.

You said you “have known and used [the Uplula] for a very long time” - do you think that could have played a big part in the difference in times between using the two since you may not have the technique down for the other one?

It played a small part of the time difference but that Butler creek option was not well designed. Keep in mind what made it to the video was the best one I could muster after several attempts.

Walmart has a very forgiving return policy, especially if you're cool with store credit. It's always worth a shot.

[@Norminator1]

i have the upula man what a great device

[@therightstuffAK]

I've always liked & used the simple Glock speed loaders that slide over the magazine & have no moving parts. You just slip it over pressing down on the follower or rounds already loaded, put a round in & release pressure, slide round in rest of the way & repeat. Also if I lose one they're only like $7 so they're "disposable" so if I lose one no big deal.

[@texasstadium]

I have both loaders. The Maglula is superior. I find the Butler Creek cumbersome to use. I have several Maglula products. The only Maglula product I am disappointed with is the PMR-30 loader. That loader dents the cases of the 22WMR no matter how careful I load. I tried to contact Maglula but their website is unavailable as of today 12-28-2020. When in doubt, go with Maglula.

[@BK33REVIEWS]

Really not fair to compare something that you been using for 15 years compared to something you just bought, the caldwell is faster than both

[@cfrost87]

Even if it doesn't save time (as long as it doesn't take longer with a loader), it at least it saves your thumbs.

[@kentr1435]

Learn to use the Butler Creek. You slowed it down by pressing every round in with your finger. You don't need to do that if you used it correctly.

[@harlanrice6160]

The Butler Creek will push the loads in with the toggle if you start them in. You lost a lot of time pushing them all the way in with your finger. Not a fair trial.

I hold the Uplula loader a little different. Instead of looking directly into the chute, I'm looking at the side with the chute to the right, if right handed. Hand wrapped around loader with my 4 finger tips on the front and thumb wrapped over top strap, pointing at about 10 o'clock. The downward pressure is applied with thumb instead of having to hard grip the loader. But that's just me.

I sure wish they would come out with one for the DE .50AE

[@deuceandguns]

[@therightstuffAK]

Those mags are easy to load since the rounds are so big. I've got plenty of DE .50 mags for my .50AE & I have no trouble loading them by hand, it's only 7 cartridges to load per mag vs 33 in the Glock mag Deuce is loading.

[@Bill23799]

Congratulations UpLula on winning the race. Well done Butler Creek on never giving up and finishing. No one likes a quitter. The only high capacity mag I own today is the 30 round double stack/double sided coffin mag for my S.I.T.E.S. Spectre M4 9mm. The Uplula won't fit over that monster. Good thing it came with it's own dedicated speed loader. I tried loading it by hand once and after 20 rounds my thumb threw in the towel. The mag is like two double stack 9mm mags side by side that feed up into one stack.

[@davidinghram2494]

I got my Butler Creek double mag loader as a gimme with a scope purchase. To load my 4006 is just about impossible with it. It may load about six or seven and then it signs off with several different types of malfunctions. The old slip over type works much better, certainly much less frustrating. It looks like I`ll be ordering an UpLula in the next few days. Thanks for the video, I appreciate it.

[@derekhunter3125]

-You (anyone) might consider the comparatively cheap ($6-$7) Glock/glock-style loader you can get from ebay (and almost anywhere else). -It works fine, is simple and easy to use and you can get three for the price of either of these, and get change back. -It is one piece, no parts to break or lose. -It may take a few seconds longer to use but you don't always have to speed-reload.-In fact, hardly any of us ever do.

[@garyh1449]

Do these Glock loaders load multiple style magazines for Ruger, S&W, Beretta etc.?

[@rangersmith4652]

Has anyone seen an Uplula break? Mine seems indestructible. I don't have many single stack pistols, but I've considered getting a single stack Uplula. Are they as good, and do they work better for single stack than the double stack version? I would presume so.

[@aaronwagner9461]

Amazon sells inserts that you can pop in and out of the uplula. Different inserts for 1911’s and single stacks and all sorts of different mag types. Takes the wobble out when switching between mags for full size M&P 9 and Shirld 9.

[@Rowdeegolf]

I got the Butler.... not impressed. Very wobbly and the return doesnt seat the round and you have to press the lever to get it in right. I ordered the ETS speed loader. Works much better.

[@Rowdeegolf]

I just got my Uplula. Much more effective, but a bit finicky. At least the return works and the rounds arent wobbling around inside the tool. Uplula wins. If that plung tab doesnt break.
