I just received one of the new 15 round magazines and I cannot load more than 5 rounds before the spring is too much pressure. Anybody have a better way or solution?

There has been discussion on this elsewhere, also. Some folks could not load more than 6 rounds, even with the UpLULA loader. The report was that SIG said there was a bad batch with bad springs. So, call them up and let them know about your problem. They'll send you a new one.

MagLula loader.

ETA: Oops, wasn’t aware of the problem 12131 pointed out.

Thanks, I will call them.

Here we go again SIG...poor QC. Is the head of their QC the CEOs son-in-law?

I was seriously thinking about getting a P365 but doesn't seem like Sig has it together still.

I managed to get 15 in without the uplula, but my thumb hurt after. Let it sit a few days, cycle a few loads through the magazine, and it will take care of itself.

Just loaded 15 with Uplula in my two. But what I don't understand is IF there was a problem with one of three size magazines, how would that be an excuse to not purchase this fine pistol.

I just received two more 15 rounders this weekend, but haven't checked them yet.

This is the first I'm hearing of the short loading issue with these.

I got a few. I was able to painfully stuff 14 in at first and the 15th went in the next day. It was stiff for sure.

I was able to load 15 rounds into my new magazine without resorting to an Uplula, but I've got to say, that was the tightest magazine I've ever loaded. I've got good grip strength, but could barely muscle the final round in.

It hasn't turned me off the magazine, but it is by far the toughest to load that I have ever experienced in 40 years of different pistols. I invested in an UPLULA and it got them fully loaded.
