    HK VP9 loaded magazine rattle.

    I was wondering if any other VP9 owners have had any issues with their VP9/P30 magazines rattling when loaded (Not in the pistol). Its pretty annoying to hear that rattle when walking with the spare mag in the carrier.

    I'm sure there is a simple fix, but I was just curious to see if anyone else had the same issues.

    Mine do it to. Not sure what that's about, but appears to be normal as others report it also. I don't hear it when I walk at all, but if I hold up the mag and shake it, I hear that rattle.

    Most/many double column mags rattle when fully loaded. If you download by one it may go away.

    Like khc3 said, its normal for most double stack pistol magazines. My Walther's were the worst but my HK, SIG, Hi Power, and M9 mags all did it to some extent. Slapping the back of the loaded magazine into the palm of my hand or pressing down on the top round a few times usually took care of it. I guess that "realigns" the stack somehow.

    Mine do not rattle with 147gr HST rounds but, yes, it is normal.
    What ammo you using?

    Yet another "me too" response. I've only noticed it when all 15 rounds are loaded and the magazine's out of the pistol. Every single magazine I have does it, and none of them have had any problems, ever. I consider it a quirk, nothing more.
