Bought a P365 yesterday, shot it and love it! Only problem is trying to load the 10 rounds mags...I have some arthritis in my hands, but can load mags for my other pistols. For the 365 I had to use a Lula Loader, and even then the mag springs were tough! Is this a common experience?

Oh Yeah. 1st time I got mine to the range could only load 5rds by hand.They are real stiff. Picked up a Lula loader myself after that. So much easier.

I had never owned a loader until I bought my P365. I couldn't get more than nine rounds loaded in a ten round magazine. It didn't help that the magazine is so small and harder to hold onto.

The magazines will loosen up with use so you can keep your man card and load the old fashioned way.

Yes, this is quite common for the 365's magazines.

Mine was the same way, though after twenty + years in the Army, I don't give it a thought to loading all magazines by hand.

With regular use, your 365 mags will eventually become somewhat easier to load. The LULA loader is great help!

Have to echo what has already been said, same for 12 round magazines.
Want to like this pistol, shoots well, accurate, no issues.
Mine was a 12 Oct 2018 manufacture, about 600 rounds, no issues, no scratch marks on magazine.
Others shooting mine with thumbs up induce issues I don't see.
When available I will get a stainless striker just for peace of mind.
