Specs indicate it loads Ruger mags, but also states that there must by at least 8mm between the mag lips. I've loaded SR9C mags at the range, and remember that they are rather narrow at the top compared to others so I'm hoping someone has used the UpLula magazine loader for loading SR9C mags with success.
 
I think they do. If I recall, Iron Mike Golf uses an UpLula on his SR9c mags without a hitch. As for the 8mm minimum mag lip requirement, that would be .314 inches. You should have no problems.
 
YES!! Uplula loads both the 10 round and the 17 round magazines. I know this for a fact because I have an Uplula and I have an SR9c. It is the best loader I have ever seen. It will even load my LCP.
 
SR9c mags are the same metal bodies as the SR9's 10 rounders, with the same dimensions as the SR9 17's. The UpLula will load all of the SR9 mags, and most any other semi-auto mag, especially 9mm to .45ACP, I think the .380 mags (other brand pistols) aren't as much a sure thing.

The several thousand rounds loaded between my buddy and myself in various SR9 and SR9c mags would seem to indicate the loader works very well. :D
 
HKS makes a plastic one, $10, works like a charm. Have a Baby Uplula (22LR) and I actually like the cheap one better.
 
Which model is the one you are using to load the Sr9c mags? There are several models listed. Is it the "Uplula Universal Pistol Loader"?
 
This is the model Uplula I have: http://www.amazon.com/Butler-Creek-Universal-Pistol-Loader/dp/B001HBHNHE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1307228301&sr=8-1

Here is a video of it in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zos_7e-c4t0

Thanks. I'm about to order one.
 
You won't be disappointed. Shop around though, I just posted the one from amazon because it was easy to find. The prices vary a lot from place to place.
 
I'm a little late on this but I've used my uplula to load my P944, SR9c, and even my buddies LCP. Works on pretty much anything bigger then .25.
 
Just ordered one myself. Can't believe that I've never seen or heard about one of these. Thanks for sharing!!

Which model of HKS loader do you have that you like better? I don't see one listed for the SR9.
 
I got the Universal version and it is GREAT!!
Works fine on my SR9c and P89 as well as my buddy's 1911.
What a great invention. Fast and easy once you get your rhythm down.
 
FYI,

Midway has the UpLULA for $25, currently on backorder, but if you can wait, it is a good price... don't forget to count in shipping. add it to the rest of your order?

Take care,

I use my UpLula Universal Pistol Loader to load my P95 9mm and my LCP .380 mags. The LCP mag is just tall enough to allow the loader to work.
 
As a result of this thread, I ordered and received on a week or so from Midway USA for $24.99. Thanks for the youtube. Very helpful in discovering how to use it.

It says 'fits most 9mm mags'...not sure the #
 
I never found it too difficult to load any mags I had with my hands. Not sure at all why anyone would need one of these things.

Not everyone has very strong fingers. Some people just like the convienience. My uplula saves me time and trouble when I'm at the range using several magazines and several guns. I do also practice loading by hand because the uplula will not be with me when I carry. When the SHTF you must be prepared to load quickly by hand as well.

Truthfully, I never had a gun whose mags were that hard to load ... I guess if your fingers are that weak, it might be a timesaver. Just seemed like a gimmick to me ... I watched the vids and the first thing I thought was that I could load a mag faster than that with NO youlula or whatever it's called.

To each his own ! :D

I've seen people use them in person... the speed at which they load the mags is absolutely impressive in my book.

Enough so that I purchased one. We will see. I don't have trouble loading my mags, but it might be nice to not have a bunch of lead on my fingers when I'm done, at the very least.

From what I saw ... you STILL have to handle the bullets .... not sure you'd have any less lead contact either way.

Many of us are over the age of 35...and 45...and 55...and in my case the arthritic hands can still load a magazine, but it's less painful, faster and just plain easier with a mag-assist. I have 3 17-rd ers for my SR9c, and the 10-rd er. I carry with the 10, and can carry 1-2-3 17-rd ers in a mag-pouch. As said previously, when I want to shoot 100-200 rds at the range, it takes half the time to load with the mag-assist. I don't carry loose ammo, so if I need to re-load under emergency situations....If I can't get outa trouble with the loaded magazines I have, so be it.

Thats a little like saying why wear gloves when you pulling weeds, you still have to handle the weeds. In a 17 round mag the last 5 or so are very tight on the 9c, and putting a couple hundred per trip down range you will be glad you brought the uplula...strong fingers or not! :wink:

I can handle loaded ammo all day (Mostly JHP's for me, it's the profile that works with my loads) and my hands are squeaky clean. It might be a problem with what I'm doing when I load the mags, but as soon as a few rounds go in, my right thumb and forefinger are covered in a shiny black covering (I am assuming it's lead, I might be wrong. Either way, I wash my hands before eating). It seems, to me at least, that most of the 'getting my hands dirty' part comes while pushing the round into the mag, which the uplula handles.

:D
