I don't know if the 365 comes with a mag loader, but if it doesn't this is your new best friend for loading mags. https://www.maglula.com/product/uplula-9mm-to-45acp Do you have previous Firearms experience? _________________ Mr. Q wrote: so basically, if you have to smoke some asshole, make sure they become fertilizer and then Bounce? got it.

The P365 mags are especially hard to load by hand compared to most full sized guns. |

No and No. This looks great. Got 5 rounds in each of the included clips. I have to admit it wasn't an easy task against a brand new spring. _________________ In Civil War II.

Great choice with the P365; I love mine. Since I'm working from home now, it's been riding my hip about 17 hours a day. For reloading most pistol mags (including 9mm like yours), there is only one answer: UPLula. It's about $30. Just buy one, don't hesitate. Don't look at competitors. Just buy it. FYI, the manufacturer says there are some counterfeits being sold on Amazon that are weaker and prone to breaking. They recommend buying from known gun-related dealers. So use your judgment . . . I've bought on Amazon without a problem, but your mileage may vary. But just buy one.  _________________ Steve Benefactor Life Member, National Rifle Association Life Member, Second Amendment Foundation Patriot & Life Member, Gun Owners of America Life Member, Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Legal Action Supporter, Firearms Policy Coalition Member, NAGR/NFGR Please support the organizations that support all of us.

Ensure that when you are doing any type of handling or practicing with a dry firearm, that all ammunition is in a separate room and you verify you have a clear firearm prior to starting any type of practice one last time. |

You can load magazines all day without hurting your fingers. Then once you buy yourself an AR, you can get the MagLULA or StripLULA, a 10/22 LULA for your .22 rifle, BabyLULA for your smaller calibers, etc. and so on. |

My husband and I ended up getting the Uplula. We also purchased A-Zoom snap caps for in-home practice. I've looked into drills you can practice at home. Thanks for the advice on keeping ammo in a separate room.

Two of the best purchases you can make as a gun owner.  _________________ Steve Benefactor Life Member, National Rifle Association Life Member, Second Amendment Foundation Patriot & Life Member, Gun Owners of America Life Member, Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Legal Action Supporter, Firearms Policy Coalition Member, NAGR/NFGR Please support the organizations that support all of us.
