Mag hanging up while being inserted LC9

[druesruger12]

Hi, Does anyone know why my Mag won't go all the way in when loaded with 7 rounds? About 1/4 inch stays out until I try it several more times, then it finally goes in flush.

I don;t have that problem with any of my 5 mags. Does it happen with multiple mags or just one? Did you possibly take the mag a part and reinstall the spring backwards?

IAM NO EXPERT CONCERING THE LC9, IN FACT I ORDERED ONE YESTERDAY. I THOUGHT THEY WERE 6 PLUS ONE ROUND? 7 ROUNDS TOTAL WITH ONE IN THE CHAMBER?

The LC9 holds 7 in the magazine. Mine wouldn't take all seven on the first try, but something was stuck or I didn't make sure the cartridges were seated properly. What ever it was, second and subsequent loadings fine.
There should be enough slack to allow the magazine to be inserted with the slide forward.

You might try taking your mag apart and making sure the spring is seated properly on both ends. It may just be binding a bit. It should fit with a 7 in the mag.

First make sure that all your rounds are seated correctly. I do this by slapping the side of the mag. This will get all of the rounds (primer side) resting against the side of the magazine. Next, I've had this happen to me a couple of times. Just use a little more force to push the magazine upward. It should click in place.
