I had the same problem with my P226 when I first got it. The mags load fine with the action open. The force required to load a full mag with the action closed is more than most would think.
I started to load my mags 1 round short when I was doing IDPA. I was primarily doing reloads with a closed action, and was having issues not fully seating the mag before continuing (resulting in a misfeed). Reducing the round count by 1 solved this issue completely. As the gun and mags broke in, this issue went away (or maybe I just adjusted to the issue with practice...not sure).
