On the other hand, I can easily insert a fully loaded mag with the slide closed with my Beretta 92FS, so that's how I keep it.

FWIW, I've seen Larry Vickers and Ken Hackathorn, two BTDT firearms instructors, recommend loading Glock 19 mags down by one round. Are they right or wrong? I don't know, but I wouldn't disregard what they have to say based on their experiences.
Well, then, I can somewhat understand why my friend advised me to down-load then, as he is a BIG Glock fan. He has a half-dozen identical Glocks (model 19, I think) that he uses for his CC classes.

I do NOT plan to down-load my new, to me, 3913NL.
