I am an old S&W revolver man, mainly Mdl 19's, 29, and 686.
I just purchased a used S&W M&P 40. Right now the only issue I have is loading the magazine. I have had 1911's and Glocks and this has never been an issue. What I do to get it loaded is push down on the follower with a screwdriver and load each road best I can. I know I am not a young man anymore but I am having difficulty with this and am wondering if it might be the magazine. Will a ten round magazine be easier?
I just saw a YouTube video that someone else posted about this problem that I will try.
