Try it again with the standard one.
Not guaranteed as experienced by safe action but there’s a good chance it will help
At the end of the day there is a reason Glock don’t make extended magazines for these guns , and it’s not because they don’t like money. You will have to mess around to find best results

Re: Taran + 2/ Vickers +2
*I should probably add, that my tests weren’t specific between using slidestop and “slingshot” racking or live fire cycling. I started mainly tested by manually cycling the mags with ammo, and also comparing the angle and flex available. The issue was also not the 1st round stripped from the mag with the Hst’s but what happens to the 2nd round. The shortend flat nose shape of the bullet angle in the mag drops and would almost catch the front of the mag, e.g just pushing the 1st bullet out of the mag with your thumb. Not wanting to risk the possibility of extreme setback I either load 7 hst’s or 8 S&B as an e.g. I’ll see if I can upload a pic tomorrow.

2nd & 4th pic you will notice the gap is a lot smaller, they are separate instances

Re: Taran + 2/ Vickers +2
Hi R_C. Have you tried using lighter munition? Like 115gr or 124gr? if so do you get any nose diving there?
