I've read numerous articles regarding AR magazines and that you shouldn't fill them to max capacity to avoid feeding issues or the magazine not seating perfectly in the mag well. So now I only load my 30 round AR mags with 28 rounds.
Does this same principle hold true with handguns? My S&W m&p 2.0 has a 15+1 capacity. Is it common to load the magazine with 16 rounds with 1 being in the chamber? Or do most people load under the specified amount, like 14 or 15 rounds? Can you overload a handgun magazine?
