Problem: I download my .40 ammo for my Glock 22. If I put 10 rounds in the magazine and 1 in the pipe, the first round won't cycle because of the tension the 10 rounds in the mag are under and not enough force from the downloaded rounds to cycle the action properly. After the first round everything is fine. My solution has been to put 9 rounds in the mag and 1 in the pipe, everything works fine. However, since I shoot IPSC I am at a bit of a disadvantage since I have one less round in every mag.
Question: Will a spring designed for a 15 round magazine work in a magazine designed for 10 rounds? My thought is if that would work then the spring would be under less tension and therefore I could put 10 rounds in the mag, 1 in the pipe, and things would cycle fine.
Anyone know if that will work or not?
