A couple years ago I was introduced to the Butler Creek UpLULA Universal Pistol Magazine Loader. Don't know how I lived without it all those years up to my first one. Some firearms now come with a custom loading device and I have never tried them but I can attest to the UpLULA being a Godsend to no more sore and cut fingers from loading many rounds of ammunition. Once you get the hang of using it you can load a shell a second with no pain. They sell them at many gun stores and on line. They make one (Model 24222) that will feed all of the following sizes; 9mm, .357, 10mm, .40 and .45. They also make them for AR-15 and other sizes; you can find that information on the Butler Creek web site. If you want to see what they look like you can go to http://maglula.tripod.com/uplula.htm . Buy one or try your buddies and you will wonder like I did how I every lived without it.
