I've seen people talking about speed loaders so I figured that I would share with everybody that the HKS GL-940 works very well with the FNP-40 magazines with no modifications needed. On the back of teh packaging it does not have the FNP-40 listed. I thought that I would share that with you all so maybe that will help out on your search for a speed loader.
Looks like a they are fairly similar, though I'd say the Uplula is probably easier/faster from the looks of the HKS. I have an Uplula, but have never used or seen the HKS before.
Lol I see that and I agree my friend has one and it is great, the way I look at it is something is better to than nothing.What's the cost ion the upLula?
I had checked this thread out before my P40 made it to the shop for me to pick it up. When I did, I grabbed one of the UpLULAs before hitting the range. I gotta say, that handy little thing had to be one of the best investments I've ever made. It used to take me half an hour on the range just to shoot fifty rounds when loading the old-fashioned way. I went through a hundred in less time than that with the UpLULA.

I'm always surprised at how fast I can go through 200 rounds. I've gone through 200 rounds in my FNP 9 in a half hour when I expected it to take me an hour (which it would have if I didn't have an uplula). I went through 200 rounds of 45 today in 45 minutes and I was trying to pace myself and go slow
I have been thinking about the Uplula. For all my years with firearms i have just used my fat thumb and two guns kill my thumb more than any other automatic. A Glock 22 and my fnp 45 USG both 14 or 15 round mags. I think i am getting the Uplula since it has such a good following. I am getting to old and Arthritic to be tough.

I shudder remembering this time a friend and I rented a Glock 30 at the range where I purchased my P40. Ten round magazine, but we couldn't get more than eight in there without nearly breaking our thumbs.
"For all my years with firearms i have just used my fat thumb"
I'm 58 and have been shooting since I was 5 or so. I always thought mag loaders were for small, weak, silly people with too much money.
Then I bought an FNP-45 and half-dozen mags. Okay, I surrendered and ordered an Uplula sight unseen and it's a miracle.
My father is 87 and in assisted living and he is now sold on the Uplula. That's a pretty good endorsement from a farm boy raised in the mountains who served in the Pacific in WWII, worked as a VA State Trooper, etc., etc. etc.
Here's a guy who still loves the Python more than most anything, but said he wished he'd had an FNP-45 during WWII instead the Colt he was issued.
I've used the Uplula on everything from a LCP .380 to multiple 9mm ,multiple .40 to multiple .45.
It works like a champ on everything.
I have a couple just in cas I can't find one real quick when needed.
I keep one in each range box.
I'm going to get one just cause of the fact that it works with everything.
