Default BG380 Magazine question

Is it normal to have to push in on the mag release in order to seat the mag?

Thanks,
Gregg

I noticed that mine will hang up while inserting it. Rather than (possibly) inflict some damage to the magazine catch itself - I just press the release a little to insert it. My BG380 seems to really want to hang onto it's magazines and I like that myself. I don't carry a spare mag anyway so the ability to quickly swap mags is a moot point to me. JMHO ...

Yes, but that will get easier with time and shooting. I bought mine last February and have put over 600 rounds down range absent any hang ups. Mag insertion got easier with time and use.
