Hey all,
I just discovered somewhat of an issue with 3 Glock magazines I just bought and I was curious if anyone has had an similar experiences.
I picked up 3 G37/10 round magazines a few weeks ago for my G38 and in the process of testing them out at the range I found themvery hard tovirtually impossibleto load by hand to their full capacity. After I got home I used the mag loader that came with the gun to load them up and in working with the magazines again I find that there is now a noticable bit of frictionwhen loading them into my gun but that it is reduced with the removal of rounds from the magazine. The fewer the rounds, the less the friction. At first i thought it was just the 10 round mags but now that I've experimented with the standard 8 rounders I feel the friction there as well. None of this prevents the loading and use of the gun but I see a noticable differencebetweenmy G38 and my G19 when it comes to how easily the mags are to insert, afully loaded G19 mag loads effortlessly while even a partially loaded GAP mag creates friction. I'm curious ifthisisa common thing to be expected with larger rounds (GAP vs. 9mm) in the same size magazine or if it couldbe an issue with the gun and/or magazines. Any thoughts?
