Just too small/tight in one particular area. Once I "hogged it out", the mags went in and out in an acceptable manner. I did not expect them to be drop free, as this pistol was made before that was popular.

This handgun is a Spanish Echasa copy of a French MAB(they used the same parts) which was a sort of copy of a Walther PP/K, but only single action....if all of that makes any sense to you.
