I bought a new LCP (with long trigger). I'm having problems seating the mags. I mean I've got to smack them hard. None of my other pistols has this problem. The mag. release is iffy too. They are Ruger mags.
I rapped them so much that my palm is sore today.They get easier. Rap 'em in a few times. At least that worked for me.
it doesn't matter with this magazine problem. I have two regular lcp (non-hold open) magazines that would bind up the same as the hold open magazine that came with the gun. I modified all three so the top round of the loaded magazine would stop binding up the slide.I am assuming the OP is speaking about the 1st gen LCP, not the LCP II. Since the LCP does not have a last shot slide hold open the slide remains closed. This makes it more difficult to insert a fully loaded mag.
On both of my LCPs, unless I push the mag release button while inserting the mag it makes it even more difficult to insert a fully loaded mag. Just press the mag release button while inserting a mag.

some shooters (not me) like to top off the mag, so inserting a fully loaded mag with the slide forward applies to both guns in this situation.
