This video demonstrates that fully loading a pistol magazine to its stated capacity (17 rounds for the Springfield Echelon) does not impede its ability to seat properly in the firearm. This contrasts with common practice for AR-15 magazines, where removing one or two rounds is often recommended to ensure reliable seating. The presenter uses Igman 124 grain ammunition for the demonstration.
