Both magazines supplied with my SCCY CPX-2 9mm pistol are extremely hard to load. Even after using them for a while, it's still very hard to get more than 3 or 4 rounds in them. I took off the floor plate and pulled the spring out a couple of turns and held it firm. Putting rounds in was then no problem. I'm considering cutting off one coil at a time until they work OK. Has anyone had a similar problem and found a good solution? I've contacted SCCY about it and they immediately said they'd send me two new, easier-to-load magazines they have developed. Made me think this might be a widespread problem. I was hoping they made or could recommend some type of loading device - I've seen them advertised but never used one. Never felt the need with any other of my many pistols/magazines. Lots of high-cap ones get stiff for the last couple of rounds, but this problem was new to me. SCCY didn't ask for the old ones back, so I'd like to find a solution rather than waste two mags.

All my plastic pistols' magazines were hard to reload, especially on the last two or three rounds. I think it's because the mfgs. go for compact, high capacity (for the size of the grip) guns. Glocks come with or came with a loading tool. You can buy an aftermarket mag loader...kinda pricey, but if you shoot a lot, a thumb saver.
My magazines are still hard to load the last couple of rounds after several years, I just grunt and stuff. SCCY has great customer service and I have recommended the pistol to others. My CPX2 is a bit blasty and has sharp recoil but I do not use it for a target pistol and for defense it works quite well.
I called SCCY CS about the jamming issues they told me there was a 150 round break-in period. I ordered a pro mag and tried it and it worked. I'm thinking about getting rid of it too much work for me. I feel a gun should work right out of the box. I guess you get what you pay for
I considered one of these years ago and followed their forum for a year before I decided it was a bad choice. Main issues were mag malfunctions and pins walking out.
I figured out my cpx-2 mag and jam problem, the spring orientation for all the mags that were ordered new and those that came with the original firearm were installed backwards. I tested it and now it runs like a champ . No jams. I like it when cheap guns work well! I hear the company is in deep financial trouble. That is too bad when American companies don’t succeed.
