M & P Shield Mag Loading

Brand new and the Mags are some kinda PIA to fully load. Finally got 7 in the 8 round Mag.

Have yet to find the winner on You Tube regarding this issue.

Thanks for any advice.

Brand new mags are going to be tough to fully load until you break it in. The spring needs to be worked and then it will become easier to load. Personally, I wouldn’t want an “easy to load” brand new magazine. That only means you’ll be replacing the spring sooner rather than later.

God bless the “ignore” function.

Just keep trying! A spring “wears” from cycling, not from resting compressed, so loading it and letting it sit full probably won’t help very much. Just keep working it.
