Taurus suggested to load them and let them sit for a while and they should relax enough. Only trouble with that is, how do I get it loaded in the first place? Anyone think this will work? Better to be over the hill than under it.

The best things that I have found for pistol magazines are the UpLULA and the Super Thumb. The former is easier to use with magazines with really stiff, new springs, while the latter is simpler to use with mags that are not quite so recalcitrant. Ben Some days it takes most of the day for me to do practically nothing...
