I thought I was the only 1! Gen1. I've always had to wiggle, push and pull. With both, OE & sideshow. Have to make sure the barrel is forward of stop.

@Vadimas Impact has obviously been dropped on it's butt.
He's using the bar of the caliper to show that the frame of the gun is bent which pinched the mag well shut.
Million dollar questions: 'who dropped the gun?' 'who didn't inspect the gun before shipping?'
Sorry to see this, Vad!
Probly something to do with the assembly procedure and putting pressure to the gun. I had an awful time getting my Gen1 to straighten out after replacing the rear block a couple three weeks back. Tore it apart and put it back together four times and still had problems. The magic fix for me seemed to be simply purge the gun of air and refill it several times. I left well enough alone when the top bar was nearly straight and one of my, original side shot, mags fit. The other mag is thicker for some reason so doesn't fit now. Although I used to be able to get it in with some difficulty.
I have had this gun apart several times, doing mods in the past, and never ran into this problem before.

Holy cow! Guess that gun was never test fired. Which dealer that gun came from?
Can loosen the 4 bottom screws under the valve block then slide the mag in and snug them up. If that doesn't do it do the same with the 4 screws that attach the valve block to the top bar. Doing top and bottom at the same time will guarantee success
