A MUST HAVE
The "striplula" is so simple to use for loading and unloading, it's THE BEST product in existence for the loading-unloading M-16 type magazines. From 10 round, to 30 round; to 100 drum magazines, it works! I have had NO problems or concerns about the durability of this tool, and after using them for a few years (i know have several) I recommend them hands down. I have not looked at the video Brownells has under the "learn" button, but if it is the one I saw several years ago in a out a minutes time it proves just how good it is. No mag pouch should be without one.
IDEAL!
Casual Target, with or without stripper clips. I love it. Great investment.
Awesome
Took me a little while to figure out how to unlock the stripula for use (I know, that's pretty bad). Anyways, picked up some dutch ammo already in clips... and it slams it right down in. I've reloaded those strips,and slammed them down in my Pmags with no issues. Can also load the stripula and use that without a clip. This is cheating big time. My princess hands stay blood free. (sorry - work joke for us fulltime computer geeks)
Fast and Easy
This magazine loader works exactly as described. Just use one fast, forceful motion to strip rounds from a stripper clip or hand loaded into the loader into the magazine in less than a second. A real time saver, especially when used with stripper clips. No need for spoons or sore fingers!
As good as every other Lula Product
Goes on easy, and loads a maximum of 10 rounds at a time. Works exactly as advertised. The instructions don't explain the unloader portion very well but in practice it works just fine. Definitely worth having one in the bag.
Great tool!
For some reason I was expecting it to be bigger but this thing is sweet. Loads mags in seconds. I spend a fraction of the time reloading now. Great tool for the range box!
Worth every penny so far...
This thing is great. The only "pain" caused by this is from gripping it to the mag while loading, and I believe a baby squeezing your finger hurts worse. Works great, right out of the package with no reading(lol) and I loaded ten 30-rnd mags in about 3 minutes while talkin to my GF about what it does. THE ONLY GRIPE: Note that this is simply a "How To" gripe, but I was suprised to find that the second and third strips in were the easiest to load. The third and last being the easiest. On that first one, you gotta go hammer-time on it or it can bind up on the last few rounds and not feed them into the mag. Looks like they just barely catch the front of the mag with the tip of the bullet. Simple fix, just dont weak arm it on the first strip. I did this on the third or fourth mag, took about 30 seconds to correct by popping out two rounds, do the old "mag stack"(slap it on your hand to seat rounds back)and replace the two rounds. Now the only question is will it last. Seems to be built solid enough, and other reviews have used it more than I have. But IMHO, if it only lasts for 3k rounds its worth $10/k to have it loaded that quickly and easily bc it almost feels like cheating. I say if you shoot your AR more than 500-1000 rounds per month, this is a must have.
No gimmick here!
Much easier & faster to load this "stripper clip" and "strip" the rounds into your magazines 10 @ a time. I have used this on the majority of brands/construction styles of magazines' on current market (including our Colorado "house" tactical brand, Magpul). The only difficulties encountered were with Lancers' transparent hi-impact plastic mags., the walls would flex and the floors are not"self-leveling" allowing rounds to shift and jam while attempting to speed load every time. The Stripula worked flawlessly with all others, aluminum or plastic. I own a different brand mag. loader that sits largely unused, though the Stripula might be eventually worn out.
Built to save time and last
This is the most durable loader for the 10 round stripper clips and any AR magazine. I use these to load around 20,000 rounds per month and have yet to have one quit on me in over 12 months of loading. Just put the loader on the back of the magazine, drop in a stripper clip and push the loader lever down and repeat twice more to top off the magazine. Makes the job quick, saves effort and works every time.
AR MAG LOADER - UNLOADER
I SAW A VIDEO OF THE "STRIPLULA" AT A GUN STORE AND WAS AMAZED AT THE SPEED THE PERSON WAS LOADING THE "MIL-SPEC" (WORKS WITH EVERY TYPE OF AR MAG I COULD GET MY HANDS ON, P-MAG, BETA MAG ETC.) MAGAZINE WITH 3, 10 ROUND STRIPPER CLIPS. THATS RIGHT THEY WERE LOADING THEM FULL, AND IT WAS PROABLY IN THE NIEBORHOOD OF 12 TO 15 SECONDS, TOTAL! I THOUGHT THAT WAS GREAT BUT DO I HAVE TO USE STRIPPER CLIPS? NO, YOU CAN LOAD THE DEVICE WITH 1 TO 10 LOOSE ROUNDS AND THE INSERTION IS THE SAME, JUST NO STRIPPER CLIP TO DROP OUT OF THE WAY. AS IF THAT WAS NOT GREAT ENOUGH, I WATCHED IN AMAZEMENT WHEN THE 30 ROUND MAGAZINE WAS UNLOADED IN ABOUT 15 TO 20 SECONDS, ALL THIS WITH OUT SCRATCHES OR BROKEN FINGER NAILS. OH I FORGOT TO MENTION THE PERSON IN THE VIDEO WAS OBVIOUSLY VERY COMPENTENT WITH WHAT SHE WAS DOING, BUT SHE HAD SMALL HANDS, NOT LIKE THE FIST THE AVERAGE FREEDOM LOVEING MACHO MARKSMAN OR SUPER TOUGH SOLDIER MAY HAVE. NO PROBLEM THOUGH, THEY WORK, THEY JUST WORK GREAT. BY THE WAY, I HAD TO BUY MINE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. DID I MENTION IT'S A GREAT LITTLE TOOL.
