I bought six Mec-Gar mags for my Ruger P95s. I loaded a couple up today and they hang up half way when inserting into the mag well. I traced the problem to the rim of the top cartridge. It protrudes a little bit backward and causes the hangup. If I push the top cartridge forward a bit in the mag, they seat just fine.

Before I return them, is there an easy fix? I'm thinking I can bend the rear of the mag with a pair of pliers, so the top cartridge sits a bit more forward, but then again, I think they should work as is from the factory.

Thanks in advance.

This...once you bend them they are yours, whether it works or not. Send them back and get some factory mags...my 2 cents.


Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
