The Unofficial P64 Resource Forum

my spirit may be young, but my dang fingers are old. Can anyone recommend a magazine loader for these p 64's?

OldTuck,
First let me say welcome to the forum. I use a .380 magazine loader on mine and it works just fine. I believe I bought it at either Gander Mountain or Fins, Feather and Fur, I just can't rightly remember, it's been awhile. I'm sure that you should have no problem ordering one over the internet. Hope that helps and again, welcome.

Thanks for the welcome Bill. Have you heard anyone mention universaaUpLula loaders. It is supposed to be universal but are pricey.

No I've never heard of those but if you find one let me know, if it's easier it's alright by me, my fingers are wore out too

I use a Mantis, unfortunatly they don't make them anymore.

This is probably the cheapest and easist universal one out there but you still need to have the thumb strength to use it.

Welcome to the forum Tuck.

I second that Curly. They're cheap, they work and they haven't broken yet. You get all three sizes but the large one is useless, unless you're Shaq.......

Unless you are going to use your crank to load it with.

Here is what I use, simple and cheap to use for .22's - .45's.

Wow. For $5, that's great. TheUpLula is $27 and up.

That looks like a Mantis except black instead of orange.

CTD has a rep of boning you on the shipping though that's why I stopped doing busiiness with them long ago.

I have one like this that works well on double stack mags. It gives you more leverage with your thumb. Gets really good reviews everywhere.

Seems like it's out of stock at allot of places but they have it at Amazon

I agree with Curly; Stay away from CTD they aren't just boning people on shipping:

Ammo 9x19mm PMC Bronze Full Metal Jacket 115 Grain 50 Round "Our Low Price: $69.69" Gosh are they gold plated full metal jacket?

I read somewhere they started canceling orders on in stock ammo after they realized there was a run on ammo and raised the prices.

If they did that then they are real dbags.

I found one of the HKS at Amazon. Thanks to all for the help. This forum is awesome.

"Unless you are going to use your crank to load it with".

Curly, you may have found a use for that large size magloader after all. Then again, maybe not.

Sorry for the delay. Just picked up an UpLula universal loader the other day and it works perfectly after you figure out the proper way to use it. You need to set it on a hard surface than it's easy as 1 2 3. Sure has saved my fingers a lot of wear and tear I can tell you that. They aren't the cheapest around buy sometimes cheaper isn't always better. It seems to be well made and now that I've gotten the hang of it I can reload a magazine in seconds without ending up with broken and torn fingernails.
