Hi, I'm new to the forum and new to the HD family. I just purchased a XD-40 as my first gun. I spent about a week and alot in rental fees trying different things out at the range and decided this was the best choice (for the price, I really wanted a 1911, but the price is too much for a first purchase).
My question, or more like problem, is that I cannot easily fit all 12 rounds into the magazine. I can get around 7 with no problem, and 10 by trying hard, but it took me way to long and too much struggle to get the last 2 to make the 12. I'm hoping it isn't that I'm just a wimp. I only ask people about it because when loading the rentals and my friends guns, I had no trouble filling the magazines, and I shot all different types of ammo including 9mm, 357, 45, and even the 40 I'm trying to use now. I was hoping it is just because they are new and need to be used a bit to get looser and was hoping someone could shed some light on this. Thanks
