Most likely like my XD45 mags the front of the mag has swelled and was hanging up on the mag release/ catch. I just use a small brass ball peen hammer to reshape the area between the notch in the mag and the top edge of the mag. OR you could buy new mags.

I thought it might be the mags bubbling out a tad or something but whats the chances of that happening to all of them since the last time I was at the range?

All mags? Or specific ones?

All mags. Some time between when I cleaned the gun & when I went & changed out the old sd ammo.

Pull your mag release and inspect for Burrs.

Plus, without the mag release in the gun, or the slide on the gun, look down into the magwell as you insert the full and empty magazines. You should be able to see immediatley where the magazines are rubbing inside the grip.

This, strip the gun and play with mags and your frame

Then, when the problem is identified, toss that POS and buy an American gun.

If he had a real gun, he'd have something from Italy.

Found it. A very small burr under the mag release. Some very fine sand paper solved the problem. I guess after 4k rounds of only cleaning it this is a problem I can live with.

Figured it would be something simple like that.
