Question about loaded my M&P 22 compact

[SouthernDraw]

Hey guys! Just had a quick question about loading my magazine. It see, to work fine just making sure I'm doing it correctly for perfect firing and launching. The ammo seems to not line up completely in the magazine and not sit perfect on top of each other and buldge to the left or right when loading it full. They don't sit on each other's ridge of the rimfire and seem to not line up perfect so just wondering if that's ok when firing and once they get moved up in chamber they will function correctly. Any advice for me would be huge help, thanks in advance

That's normal. It's slightly staggered by design. I'll post up at pick later. Had my 22C for nearly a year, good little shooter and reliable with decent ammo.
EDIT: added pics. Laser used for shooting bowling pin tops @25' -- eyes too old for open sights

As said: it is by design. The larger diameter end slides to one side or the other so stack height stays approximately same end to end, ie. Rim end to nose end.

Thanks guys! I was thinking that and it fired fine just making sure, you guys rock!

I have a M&P 22c and a Ruger SR22 and the both load like that. Never had a malfunction in either! Great guns...
