This little guy has been around for awhile, but I figured I would give it some attention on FJ. I own one, and they are awesome. If you shoot a lot, this little device will save your fingers and make loading and unloading magazines way easier and faster.
It is great for contracting too. Especially if you have to unload all of your truck magazines before a mission, so you can inspect and clean them, and then reload them fast so you can focus on other stuff. A little gadget like this, can make those big tasks way easier and certainly faster.
Butler Creek also makes a pistol LULA, and that works pretty good too. It takes a little more getting used to though, but will still save your fingers and cut down on loading time, if you have to load a ton of magazines. Good piece of gear. –Head Jundi
