S&W mags

[T-Baggin98]

Ok so I bought a new S&W sigma .40 on tue. to add to the collection. Anyways, I since loaded the mags ready to take out and test and play with it this weekend and noticed after putting 6 rounds in the mag there is a rattle or a "clank" in the mag. You cant hear it till you put in the 6th round and it doesnt go away with a full mag. Honestly it sounds like a loose round moving around in there. Even worse its just as loud in the gun. So my question is, to all those sigma owners... is this common or what?? If so thats terrible. These are the 2 mags that came with the gun when I bought it if that makes a differance. Thanks in advance for any help...

I don't know about the Sigma as far as the mags go, but the 3Gen S&W auto's 59XX did this until you locked the mag in the magwell, then no noise.

Yep Mine do that on both of my Sigma's until they are locked in the gun then if they still do it don't notice. I have caried my 40 all summer and have't noticed it when I'm packing it. It does seem to be loose rounds banging around.

Couple of my Sig mags do the same thing. Never causes a problem with reliability though.

Don't have any semi auto Smiths.

Well I guess I feel a little better knowing Im not the only one to experience this problem. Ive just never had a semi auto handgun thats done this and I dont really like it honestly. Has anyone ever got any aftermarket mags for the sigma and noticed this noise??

If you find some let me know. Best I've been able to do is find used ones.

Go into the Tecwerks section of the Kel tec owners group and it tells you how to fix rattling mags. This fix is for a P-11 mag, which is basically the same as a S&W 59 mag. I used this to fix a rattling p-11 mag and it worked great.
