Weird issue with the magazines for my Shield has popped up.

One of the two is the extended mag, per the normal kit.
Both are doing this. They are not allowing me to feed the correct amount of rounds. They keep stopping 1 round short, and I have to use a ton of force to get the next to last one in. I mean I have to reach the point it feels like I am breaking my thumbs to get them in. The final rounds I can't even get halfway down.
Has anyone seen or heard of an issue like this? It only started around late November, at least....that I noticed. Shot through them again on Monday and it was even worse than before.

How many are you putting in each one?

I have 2 15-round Sig mags that will only accept 14 rounds. It's been that way since they were brand new.

When I shot mine for the first time last week I had the same problem. Was extremely hard to load rounds into the mags and getting the last one in really hurt my thumb.
I chalked it up to being new. I even put a little lube on the follower when I cleaned the gun when I first opened it up. Might try putting some graphite powder on them to see if that'll help the followers slide more easily.

Gotta get a speed loader. I had the same issue with my 9mm shield. Maglula all the way.
My shield was only the second pistol I've ever bought, my first was a Springfield XD and it came with its own speedloader. I was spoiled thinking all semi autos came with one.

Have you taken the mags apart yet?
