Many of the complaints I get from students and read on the internet could be cured by taking a good course from a competent instructor.

I understand that my mags are not broken.With a round in the chamber,slide in battery,both 8-rounders seat normally with a full load.For nearly forty years my manual of arms with auto-loaders has been to chamber a round,remove the mag,and add a round to replace the one that was chambered.This instance with my 7 round mag is the first time I have encountered this condition.Of course it would be easier to insert the mag with the slide open,but that has no bearing on the inability to fully insert this mag when the slide is closed.
