Only loaded 7 rds in the 8 rd mags, my buddy thinks the same way as you and that was his first piece of advice.
He swung by and picked the gun up just now, we really think it's a problem with the safety. It just doesn't have a positive click on or off and likes to stay in the middle. We stretched the detent spring but that didn't help so he's gonna swap it out and get that fixed first.
Still need to work on me but I'm glad he saw something that needs fixing.
