The only thing I don't like about my xl7 is that the magazine doesn't load easily. I have to really pay attention to how I lay the cartridge in to seat right. It also likes 3 rather than 4 rounds in it. I can get them in, but that last one likes to seat with the bullet facing downhill a little bit so it is unable to chamber or eject. I can get it right, but it is not easy. It has to be slid forward or back to load sometimes. Anyone else have this problem or heard of it as an issue?
