Am I just a pansy? Holy cow.

[Gammon]

Some M&P mags (the "new and improved models") simply will not take the tenth round. I had the same problem and had to trim the follower to make room for the last round.

Nobody needs that many bullets in an assault pistol.

 

[Radtekk]

Bring them to my house, I'll have my daughters (14 & 16) load them for you.

 

[92G]

the neutered 10rd M&P 9 mags are nightmare.
need uplula mag loader

can shave off bottom of follower this helps load the 10th round a bit easier.

 

[PHmaddnes]

Don't worry, its like masturbation, do it enough and you'll be a pro too.

 

[btnh6668]

I have that issue with my glock mags

 

[Dip Dungles]

All my M&P's had this issue when first purchased. Took a few rounds to loosen up the springs. My 9C was the worst and took 200+ rounds before I could load 10 unassisted.

Does the sticker on the box say"9+1"?

There's a 10 stamped right into the mag next to a hole!

I've had an issue with the 32nd round some of Mac 11 mags figure it's cobrays quality control. Lols

I disassembled my m&p9c mags and took my dremel tool to the bottom of the follower legs.

If you look at the follower it looks like a little footstool. Shave off the legs so the follower has a flat bottom.

Fill the mags & let em sit a bit to help break in the spring.

In time & with an Uplula, filling thèm is easy.

Have your daughter load them for you.

Exactly this

 

[Starch_McNasty]

Keep it in your purse for a while and see if it loosens up.

SAVAGE.

 

[browncoat]

They will get better after time, I had some mags like that

This, the springs wear in.

 

[92G]

wolff gunsprings makes springs for the M&P mags. i've never tried them but their springs tend to compress to shorter length than most OEM mags, which makes fitting the 10th round easier. their springs for the M&P 45 are absolutely fantastic. I replace all my M&P45 mags with their springs. the OEM springs suck.

if anyone has tried the 9mm wolff mag springs I would be interested to hear experiences.

these ones:

I broke my glock loader for the 21sf lol .

You did? It was fine yesterday.

 

[MAGA99]

No offense, but you must be a pencil pusher/desk jockey. I can't use mag loaders. My thumb pushes down the round below just fine. Never had a problem with my sheild, or any other 9 in my stable, although very few are limited to 10rnd.

 

[allen-1]

Have your wife load the mags you candy ass..

This is why I carry revolvers

I take this to mean as in multiple revolvers all the time! Haha

With the recent neutered 10rd mags, getting 10 rounds loaded is a tight fit. I don't use mag loaders either. Doesn't have shit to do with strength. When inserting a loaded 10rd mag into the M&P9 with the slide closed, the force required to seat the mag is ridiculous. The spring tension isn't the factor -- it's the limited room available to accommodate the magazine's contents. Likely the result of some overzealous compliance factoring.

 

[BigAl23]

Had a Sig P226 and I had the same problem. Sig told me to leave them loaded for two weeks and then try them. Six weeks later I sent them back and they sent me two news ones that worked better. The tenth round was so tight in the mag, the slide would not go forward when I hit the release, the round would not chamber.

 

[P-14]

Try loading 14 rounds of .45 acp, like I do for the Para. You end up with thumbs like Arnold Schwarzenegger!

Don't be a girly-man. Thumb up.

 

[FrugalFannie]

yep. you're a pansy

 

[GlockJock]

I can't get all 10 in.

Many of us Irish guys would be jealous....
(Just sayin')

 

[EMTDAD]

It is the full-size M&P 9. I do notice that there doesn't seem to be any place for the round to push -downward- on the follower. The shape of the follower's ramp seems to want to make most of the pressing-down force of a cartridge jam the follower sideways, which can't be helping with the stiff spring. I used my pinky to jam the follower down to get the first round under the retaining tabs (what are those called?), and it went slightly easier after that, until round 8 and 9.

Noticed the same thing last night.. I turned the mag so that the follower was angled up away from me, and was able to push out and down. Seems like a lot of people can't get that 10th round in.. I had no real issues with that. I had a harder time getting the first round in LOL.

I will pick up a Maglula ASAP though.

 

[spcantwell]

I can fit all 10 rounds in my hipoint pistol maybe they arnt so bad after all....

I'm not a big dude, I do have trouble with my Shield 9 mags

Maglula Uplula is the goodness.

My dad had the same problem with his Shield. Not all mag loaders are created equal.
