Don't feel bad, Billybob.... a lot of people here can't get LSWC's to feed while some of ours will.

The mags should fee up with use. Lube them lightly and in time they will drop real nice.

SWC will not feed in my Compact, but everything else does. I have found that sometimes a magazine body will stretch a little and not drop free. Mine happens in the front about an inch below the top. I just give it a couple of taps with a rubber hammer and it drops freely again. It does not happen with all of my magazines.

Depending on what you want to do with the gun would dictate what sighting system you would use. I carry mine for self defense and have fixed sights XS 24/7. I also have a Lasermax laser. If I had a gun for shooting games, I would likely put an adjustable sight on.

Although not necessary, a trigger job helped my shooting. Much easier to push the trigger straight back and a shorter reset.
