Truthfully, I took a defensive handgun class and shot about 600 rounds over the weekend (or was it 1000? Either way, it was a lot of shooting). Toward the end of the class, my thumb started to hurt a little but what hurt worse was my middle finger from being right underneath the trigger guard.

There were a few people in the class who used the UpLula and even at the end of the class, I was still able to load my magazines faster by hand. They liked the tool, but I didn't see much value in it. Maybe it's because I've loaded magazines for 25 years and can do it blindfolded so it's second nature...dunno.

Glock includes a mag loader. It's pretty helpful for loading the last round of the mag, but that's about all it's good for. Some people will tell you that Glock mags are actually designed to load at -1 capacity. It's hard to seat a completely full mag into the pistol with the slide closed. And that loading that last round into the mag can be a real bitch.
