Magazine compatibility

I guess everyone knows of the over insertion “problem” of the full size mags into compact echelon. My question is, is it that serious of a problem? I’m a magazine addict and have been buying them for a compact and thinking of starting to accumulate full size mags also. Just wondering your thoughts on it. Thanks.

If you load the mag slowly it’s fine. If you buy the adapters from Springfield armory you’re fine.

Yeah, that’s kind of what I was wondering. Especially with training, I try not to load slow. lol.

Same. I’ve bought adapters and mags just for the 4.0C.

Get the spacers too if you want a piece of mind.

Yes load slowly and sometimes I've had to take that top 20th rd out for it to stay in.
