Loading Mags with Arthritis

[NHJAXON]

Total Newbie ... First personal handgun since getting out of the Army many years ago: Hellcat OSP. What a beautiful pistol! My problem is that arthritis often makes loading magazines very difficult. Are there any good, Hellcat-specific loaders out there you'd recommend? Thanks!

Get yourself a Maglula magazine loader. Works on Hellcat (plus many more pistols), and loads several different calibers (9mm - 45 ACP, etc.) Example of one in Midway USA link below:

Maglula UpLULA Pistol Mag Loader Unloader Polymer Black

The UpLULA is a military-grade, pocket-size, universal pistol magazine loader and unloader designed to load and unload virtually all 9mm Luger...

Ditto on the advice BET7 gave you.

Beat me to the answer bet7. Nothing better for the price.

Agreed Papa. I have a bit of arthritis in my fingers/hands as well and the Maglula really helps out. So much so, I also bought the versions for the CZ Scorpions and Sig's MPX series

I have a hellcat, not have arthritis, and I can not load the mags.
Get the Maglula, it is well worth the little money it cost.

My thanks to all who replied so quickly, especially BET7. For anybody else out there looking for magazine loading help, the answer is:

Thanks again!

I was going to say the Maglula but it was said a couple times already.

BIG ditto on above guys,
Have tried a few different loaders on Hellcat mags.
Not one worked as well as MagLula on new Hellcat mags.
In time, when mags have loosened up, others may work as well.
But why?

Uplula 9mm magazine loader, universal pistol magazine loader

Military-grade, pocket-size, universal pistol magazine loader and unloader! Loads all* 9mm Luger, .357 Sig, 10mm, .40, and .45ACP cal. easily, painlessly, and reliably!

ETS C.A.M. Speed Magazine Loader is another good loader, but not on new Hellcat mags.​

Yep! Maglula UpLULA for all my EDC's even though I don't suffer from arthritis. It makes mag loading easier and faster.

Like many I find that the UpLula loader is a dream realized. Eazy to use the it works every time, Get one!

i had just bought my second Maglula.

one for my .45 1911's, and the other one for all others (9MM's)

it was a PITA to keep removing the 1911 adaptor.

I dont need and adapter for my Maglula ??? Shovels in .380 up to .45 with same devise

on my CZ 97B, .45ACP, the mag fits just as easily as say a 9MM does.

but there is too much space (for me) to reload the slim 1911 mags. so this adaptor keeps a 1911 mag more steady in the Maglula.

i only paid $11.00 at Midway, and it came in a pack of 2.

Thinking "Lula" is a bit stacked or well endowed?
