    Default Can't load all rounds into magazine.

    One of my glock 23 magazines is a 13 rd mag, but I can't get more than 10 rounds in it. I took the floor plate off pulled it all apart. Is the "wedge" shaped piece on the bottom of the spring what prevents the last 3 rounds from fitting?

    I daresay it looks that way.

    I haven't disassembled a Glock magazine, but do your other 13-rounders have the same wedge? If you don't wanna take another one apart, check a youtube video of a mag disassembly and compare.

    That triangle thing is not normal for glock mags that I have seen.

    I suggest removing the wedge and reassembling the magazine and just test it to see if it fits all 13 rounds. Then load it up with snap caps and try cycling the weapon.

    If you don't have enough snap caps, you can also load it halfway with live rounds and top it off with snap caps... Just don't cycle past the snap caps.

    I just checked another mag and it doesn't have it. I loaded te other mg and it now holds 13. Im probably going shooting next weekend so I'll be sure to test it then.

    You somehow ended up with one of these....

    You need to buy one of these or get the plus 2 base pad which is was designed to work with.

    I'd say. None of my G23 mags have that. Just a spring and a "flat" insert
