380 Thunder Mag Question

We just received a Thunder 380 at work to test our ammo with. The magazine that came with it was almost unloadable. We were unable to get more than 4 rounds in the magazine. Figuring that, perhaps, we had received a bad magazine, we went down to the local gun shop to buy another that would work better. However, it was extremely tight, as well. I attempted loading a couple of different types of ammo into the magazines, but they were extremely tight.

Has anyone else run across this problem and have a good fix?

I have the Plus model, 15 rd. double stack and it was stiff. It got better after shooting a few clips. I do spray some Rem. dry lube in my mags on all my semi-autos. A clip loader would help press down a round in the clip while you insert another round. The Bersa website has them for sale. I have to use one that came with my Taurus .45 due to stiff springs in the mag.

Semantics :buttkick:

Went to a gun show today and came home with a Bersa Thunder in Nickel with a 7 round magazine. The spring was a little stiff but With the help of a mag loader, I had no problem getting in 7 rounds.

Attention to detail.... :box:

Yes but a magazine is something I read in the bathroom and a clip is a short video of a longer movie.:rolleyes:
