I ordered two new seven round magazines and one new six round magazine, factory magazines, from a seller on eBay (because they were about $33/each instead of $40 direct from Kahr... even though they're the same magazines). These were brand new, in the Kahr box factory magazines.

Anyhow, I noticed one of the 7 round magazines doesn't "drop" when I hit the mag release button. The others will drop and fall out. This one doesn't. I don't have to force it in, it's snug, but was wondering if this is normal or anything worth being concerned about... Any idea?

When I'm at the range shooting, I like to carry extra magazines on me. I usually just drop them as I shoot and pick them up off the ground later. I'd like to not have one stay in my grip when I try to drop it.

Should be noted that even with that one particular magazine fully loaded, even the weight of the ammo will not allow it to drop.

All the others will drop, even when empty.

A mag that won't drop free is common and easily fixed by GENTLY squeezing the mag at the top where lip bend is.
Here's the thread that details the fix.
