I’m full mags plus the chambered round. The 17 round mags had to sit a few days fully loaded before test firing. No issues seen during live fire.

I always load new mag's and let them sit a while,
My carry mags are always full +1 including the
maguts mag's I use for carry in my XL, never a problem.

I have had no problems fully loading 10 round and 12 round magazines.
A complaint with HK magazines, historically, has been that they hold less rounds than comparably sized magazines from other manufacturers. There was a reason HK did that.

Funny I just saw this today -- Hwansik and Ben, starting at 3:08 discussing malfunctions with PDP magazines loaded to their listed capacity of 18 rounds.

I see the loading the magazines to capacity issue as being risk management.
On one hand, you may need the last cartridge.
On the other hand, we know downloading one round will make it easier to seat the magazine and press check the pistol. Depending upon the magazine design, and condition of the spring, downloading may also make the pistol more reliable. As an Open and CO shooter, I get that completely filling the mag increases pressure against the bottom of the slide, and can cause a stoppage depending on your load and grip.
My standard practice is to download one cartridge, but I also take into consideration the magazine design. With HK magazines, I don't download, as they don't jam every possible round in. On the 365 mags, that are hard to load to capacity when new, I download one.

So everyone runs it 12+1, except GJM?
