Plus one on the full mag plus one in the chamber potential for failures. Front Sight, the NV based firearms training institute advises that with Glocks, load 1round short of a full mag, to preclude problems. It's worked to perfection with my wife's G19, Gen 4, over 2000 rounds now with 99.99% reliability...failures (2) were due to my faulty reloads.

If it really bugs you, shootiung with less than a full mag., call Glock...but rest assured that if you didn't get the job done with the first 14 rounds, the 15th probably won't help either.

Best Regards, Rod
