Spot the 'oops!'
« on: June 22, 2017, 06:44:04 PM »
I bought two new 7 round 'extended' magazines for my Ruger LCP. Started loading them up. First one - 7 rounds - a little stiff, but not too bad. The second one, Cheese and Rice! Just about get 6 in, with a struggle. Off I go and fetch my mag loader, load 6, unload 6, load 6, unload 6 - that 7th round was apparently never going to fit. I disassembled the mag to make sure nothing was binding on the tube - nothing was - can you spot my problem?

Not familiar with those mags, but it looks like you have 2 followers...

It does, doesn't it? And there was no way even my bulging pieceps were going to compress the extra follower enough to cram in the 7th round.

If anyone can use an extra follower, let me know! ;)

Looking at the pic, I was wondering how they got the pen to fit in the mag.  That might limit that last round. ;)
