Seating a magazine with 9 rounds and the slide closed is no problem. There's a little resistance but the magazine locks into place.
Seating a 10 round magazine with the slide closed is extremely difficult. I do not want to force it in as I am afraid I may damage something. I did a test - I inserted 10 spend casing into a magazine and attempted to seat it. It seated after giving it a firm push. When I removed the magazine I noticed the top spend casing had a deep score mark running the length of the case and the mouth of the case was no longer round. I basically crushed the empty brass.
Yes, these are 10 rounds magazine and I am not interested in carrying +1. I want 10 rounds in the magazine.
Any ideas on why it is so difficult? Maybe the magazines need to be broken in? Maybe I just need to man handle it in there?
Thanks.
