Still bugs the shit out of me how 10 round mags fight so hard on the last round where the 15s and up load effortlessly. UGH!
if the spring is functional then the magazine is fine and it needs no CLP, scrubbing or lubrication.
Can you recommend a lubricating oil? I already have Hoppes #9 for cleaning purposes and just ordered the mag loader. Thanks for the suggestion!
Hi everyone,
The issue has been resolved by thoroughly cleaning the pistol of its shipping oil and heavily lubricating the slide and other essential parts where there is significant friction. After reassembling I successfully shot the 115 grain ammo with out an issue. The magazines loosened up as I loaded them and I can now get all ten cartridges loaded in both.
I want to thank everyone for their input and advice. I learned a lot through this process and I am very happy I purchased the pistol. It's a great gun to shoot. I hope other people will benefit from this thread if they have the same issue.
