Pete:
Not necessarily. As you explained, your magazine only holds 9 rounds, the 10th Can be loaded, however, it will not seat with the slide closed?
Try this. Load the magazine with nine rounds, insert the magazine, charge the pistol, then holster. Leaving the slide closed, (holstered)remove the magazine and add one more round. (Tactical top off) this gives you the 10 rounds you need.
Have you tried this. Load the mag with ten rounds, with slide open, insert the mag. charge the weapon, holster. This is another method of achieving 10 rnds. You may also try removing the mag. tactically top it off and try inserting the mag with 10 rnds. As this didn't work the first time I don't see it working with this method.
I have a tendency to believe you have a 10 round capacity on the pistol and not the magazine.
