I did "demand" my money from the seller for the knock off and see if I get anything from it. Doubt it...
I think it'll be fine.

I think it should work also... It's just that Maglula didn't make money on it...

Hells Bells, I got a refund today. Opened a case against them and said I want a refund plus shipping back to them for the fake loader. They refunded me the original price and said don't bother sending it back. SCORE...I will use it until it fails and then but a real one. Happy Happy Happy.

Sounds like they have been through this before.

Key features:

3) real Upulas's have a channel for the spring, your's does not.

4) Lock button should be grey, not black.
Crap, I'm realizing the one I got years ago is a fake based on your pics and descriptions. Oh well, it's been flawless but hate to see that my money went to some asian counterfeiter of goods.

Without the pics on here I would not have known the difference either, it works great. Just not real. I got money back I didn't think would happen so I will use it until it dies but it looks solid.

I wouldn't worry about the "efficacy" of the product. The greatest point of failure would be the "tang" that pushes down all the rounds in the mag so that you can insert the next round. I think the product will work just fine.

I don't think the issue is the quality of the counterfeit product. I think it's the fact that the product/patent owners aren't getting paid for it.
