got the HK usp .45 today, a question or two...

...this gun is beautiful. i haven't had a chance to fire it yet, but i do have some questions:

1) one of the mags is being picky about taking the 10th round. i take it this will go away once the spring 'breaks in'?

2) when inserting a fully loaded mag in the well, i have to really apply some force to get it to click into place. this also makes the mag release very stiff. if i lock the slide back, the fully loaded mag will insert with no problems.

however, if i insert an empty mag, it goes in fine, and releases fine.

are these issues anything to be concerned with?

Those sound normal to me. Even standard cap Glock mags are sometimes hard to load. Leave your mags loaded even when not in use to help settle the spring a bit.

storing the mags loaded is the plan, i was just surprised that one feels stiffer than the other.

thanks.
