Simple do you fill mags up or down play one, two, three?

I personally -1 in all of my G32's mags because they slam home easier for me. A full mag needs a little more push if you know what I mean.

And good lord on the Shield mags.... Had to almost -2 to get a comfortable mag swap under pressure!

Depends on the weapon and even mag brand. AR with pmags? Full capacity cause they always seat nice even when full.

My Glock and cz seem difficult (more so on the cz) to seat at full capacity.

And you don't always reload only after running the gun empty. In 3 gun you never want to run it empty if you can help it. Try to reload on the move to not waste time

I have had issues with full spare mags going into battery.

Not an issue on all handguns I've owned just a few. I don't mind slamming during range time but under stress I want it smooth as silk with no hang ups.

I found by dropping a round, the mag goes in effortlessly.
