Yup,
Your heros die hard sometimes!
(Para-P13 Stainless).
Yes,
I don't load my mags. to full capacity.
It is not a problem to seat a completely full mag. from slidelock, but with the slide forward (tactical reload) it requires a very brisk motion to reliably seat the mag. (not much spring compression left). Try it on your firearm and you'll note the difference.
In the heat of a fight....this could cause a problem (yeah....I know, I'm too anal about this kinda stuff).
Anyway, 25 is plenty.
Very observant of you though.
