My goodness what a complete guide to my problem.
What I did after reading and digesting that guide was to get out my original 32 round mag and see exactly how it functions.
My next observation was that the 9mm luger cartridges that I had grabbed were hollow points. They just plain don't fit.
Next, I observed the old mag was a little worn (broken in-as it is in great shape), for its age. The new one is stiff and not worn at all. So I applied some lithium grease and the new mag works about as good as the old one. Also, I quit trying to use finesse. sometimes it takes a little more muscle and not so much of a "baby" touch.
Now I do need to get a loader.
I sure benefited from the lessons contained in the guide and assume many others will, also.
Thanks, so much
Jack
