Sore thumbs from loading LC9 magazine

[IBHIPRU]

One of the reasons I switched from the Glock 17 to the LC9 was an anticipated easier time loading the mags. I just hated loading those Glock double stack mags. However, the LC9 single stack isn't any better. Is there a tool to assist in the loading or am I facing perpetually sore thumbs?

Try the UpLula.

For the LC9, look into the Baby version of the UpLULA

Ruger has an inexpensive slick little tool for loading P series mags, not sure if they work for, or have one for the LC9. Check on shopruger.com. My local gun shop carries factory mags as well as the tool.

HK makes a plastic loader 'fits most 9mm' for $10. Probably find one at local gun shop. They have several models, the 'fits most 9mm' fits my 9c and my S&W SD9. May need to take a mag with ya and make sure it slips in there.

UpLula works for me....the standard version works on both my Sig P229 and LC9

Go for the quality and the wide range of applications -- get the UpLula and be happy.

My SR9c came from the factory with a mag loader. I have loaded a mag or two without one, it is a royal pain. The loader from Ruger makes it a piece of cake.

The Uplula loader listed on ShopRuger specifically states it can be used for the LC9. A little pricey at $35. You could use your new Ruger discount and get $7 off.

Uplula. I use the standard one for both double stack and single stack (LC9) guns. Amazon has them for closer to $25, or you can check CheaperThanDirt.

I second the Uplula loader. It's great for both double and single stack magazines. I use it for both my SR9c and my LC9. Believe me once you use one you'll never go back to loading by hand. :wink:

I use the mag loader that came with my beretta. I hate sore thumbs after a range session.

True. Gets easier over time. If you tend not to leave it fully loaded when your not shooting or carrying it, you might want to for the first few weeks to let the spring settle a little.
