- See if your UpLula has specific Patent numbers on it. The US Pat. # should be found on the top, underneath the tab with the lock symbol, as per this picture (these pictures are of my Uplula):



There may also be pat nos. for US, Canada and Israel (home country) on the back, per this picture:



If all else fails, you can email: [email protected] and they'll tell you.

See: http://www.maglula.com/faq/
Thanks for the info: the two I just received have the exact same info as yours does..............

Hate to say it , you got a fake one.

Key features:

1) Upula's have 4 patents, not "patents pending" like yours.

2) Calibers are marked for each one, your's has no markings.

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

4) Lock button should be grey, not black.

See pics below:

I almost forgot, return that POS and file a claim that you were sold fake goods.

Yeah, I am not even going to dink with it. It works just fine and for the discount I supposedly got I am ok with it. If it breaks I will go to my LGS and get the $35 version but until then I am good.

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