So I just brought home my new M&P and have been fondling it for a while. This is probably a stupid question but it will not accept loaded magazine without first locking back the slide. Once the slide is locked back the mag can be inserted fully. But obviously once I release the slide a round is now chambered.
Please tell me this isn't the way this thing is designed. Why can't I simply insert the loaded mag without chambering a round like ever other semi auto out there? What am I missing here? |
| I figured it out, it is the mag spring tension. I really have to slam it HARD to get the mag to lock in with all 10 rounds. However once I remove one round, the mag locks in in a more typical manner. I figure it will loosen up a bit with some use and eventually will accept the full 10 round mag a little easier. |
