I hope it won’t affect their quality. It was shaky at the beginning, but steadily improved over the years. I have 2 and carry one most of the time.

11. 10 in mag.
Well, SCCY says their mags hold 10, but most folks (not all) can easily load 11 rounds in a mag. Try it!
I put 11 in both my mags-back when I owned guns :)-, and they work fine. A company lurker at the SCCY forum has said they have no problem with putting 11 rounds in a mag. Some people think SCCY rates their mags at 10 rounds to comply with the law in gun grabber states.

I can barely squeeze 10-th in, not sure it is worth the effort to try 11-th, but thanks for the info, I’ll try just for curiosity sake.

My mags were very tight at first, I had to use a piece of 3/8" poly tubing to push the last few cartridges in-- kind of a poor man's magazine speed loader. Now the springs have eased up a bit, and I can load 11 by hand, but I still use the helper to save my fingers.
Also, it seems those unable to load 11 rounds have the earlier editions of the CPX...
