Another vote for Lula here. My G19 mags lowed fine by hand buy my G20 mags area a bear! The last 3 or 4 rounds are near impossible to load by hand. With the Lula, it's a snap!

I can only get 7 rounds out of 10 in my Beretta PX4 Storm mags because they have very stiff springs and are sharp. But the gun came with a loader for that reason. Mine is a .45.

As others have said. Mag loaders are the way to go, after the springs wear down they get easier to load.

Have someone hold the magazine while you use both hands to start the 8th rd and then hit it with a hammer.

One of these SuperThumb loaders lives in my range bag...

lupula or upula or however you say it.. i call em lula loaders. they're great. glock mags are very similar and stiff springed. dont let it hurt your manhood. no one wants to have sore thumbs.

Yes, these loaders work great. A little expensive but they do exactly what they say they will do and they do it well. I think well worth the money spent.

Are you sure you have the 8 round mags?

My Wilson Combat magazines hold 8 rounds. I don't have problem loading the 8th round in yet. But down the road, I'd probably would like to have a loader.

+1 on the uplula mag loaders, I had the same issues with fully loading high capacity mags for a couple of my pistols. Got a butler creek loader for around 35.00 bucks. Money well spent

I wouldn't tap any magazine on a hard surface for fear of damaging the magazine. As a glock owner/fan I realize it would be difficult to damage the magazine in this way, but I train as I fight.

depends on the mags, most of them i have used have been solid enough to do that. Although I suggest smacking it into your hand instead of a table, or against your nugget, if you brave enough. Although a brain bucket works better then your actual head.

Don't worry about 7 versus 8....Dirty Harry couldn't count either....
