I use the Uplula also for 9 40 and 45, but I always load the first round by hand so the tang doesn't gouge up the follower.
There’s so many people with Uplulas you probably want to put your name or initials on it unless you go to the range by yourself.
If you want another option there’s this one that’s interesting. Watch the video.

I find that loading a magazine proficiently is a skill and if you have trouble doing that then get a Maglula.
