Do you fill your mags to capacity?

[CCW]

-1 ALWAYS on hi-cap rifle mags. Pistols mags get full capacity then chamber the top round.

I've watched way too many Joes have problems from cramming their mags to full capacity. Mags that dont seat and then fall out at bad times and weapons that wont feed the first round because of binding caused by the pressure of too many rounds in the mag.

Exactly!

Depends on the mag. If there is still some room to compress the rounds after the mag is maxed out I load to max. If it's tight I load one less. No problems with reloads either way.

Exactly!

Wish I had video of all the times that the ones who loaded their mags. full didn't seat them all the way when doing a "medium" speed drill on the range.

Most top trainers recommend -1 on hi-cap. mags. & -1 or -2 on 30 rd. rifle mags. for a reason.

30 rounds hold 30 for a reason. Springs wear from being cycled. IF you were to load less you would want to be -2 so you could check in dark if round was chambered.

Just started reading this, so I chambered one in my g17 lol

I usually fill them until I can't get the pages with pictures apart any more. I suppose the pages with the articles could hold more, but really, who reads the articles.

-1 on my pistol mags and -2 or 3 in the AR and AK mags.
My reason being, as someone stated earlier, full capacity might bind the spring...and that would be bad.
