Stiff mags?

[ATN082268]

I recently had some feeding issues with my Sig Sauer P320 Compact that I'm sure can be traced back to two new magazines (both from Sig Sauer). Those magazines are difficult to load the 14th round and really difficult to load the 15th round. Any suggestions? I apologize if this is a common issue that has been answered a million times already.Thank you.

Mmmmmm?
It's not supposed to hold 15 rounds according to SIG.
(Unless it's a 9mm, which is supposed to hold 17.)

From SIG specs:

Mag Capacity 9mm 17 Rounds, .357 SIG 14 Rounds, .40 S&W 14 Rounds, .45ACP 9 Rounds

A lot of mags (Glock mags are notorious for this) are very hard to load at first.

Leave your mags loaded for a week or two and you'll accelerate the normal process in which the springs take a "set" (anticipated by the mag designers). They'll ease up a bit if kept compressed.

I've found that leaving the mags loaded for a while in the safe tend to help.
