Hhmmm....(1)With some pistols it's hard to seat a full magazine into the gun (even with an empty chamber) when the slide is closed;(2)with a round in the chamber it's even more difficult (almost impossible) to seat the magazine.
1. This may be just a subjective opinion of each person. Like felt recoil. Some complain that a 380 mouse gun had too much recoil, while others, me for an example, don't really get into the "too uncomfortable to shoot a lot" point until I get to a Ruger Super Blackhawk with full power 44 Mag loads, or a T/C Contender with a 10" 45-70 barrel!

2. I don't really see the loaded chamber would make any noticeable difference. Again, what guns are you referring to?

I did my experiment on both my Elsie Pea, and KAHR CM9 this morning. Same results as with the the Glock. About the same amount of force needed to properly seat the magazine full, -1 round, or only one round in it.
