ayy comrades, this is my first gun so sorry for the possibly obvious question. i ordered this gun online.
so when the magazine is all the way in the gun, it sticks out of the bottom still. i cocked the gun back and looked and it's hitting that little release to lock it in place when i insert it so to me it looks like its fitting properly. why does it hang out so much tho? is this the wrong magazine for this gun? the photo above is the one from the site when i bought it. i thought it looked like that just to show it came with a mag.
worst case scenario a magazine for one of these is cheap but i just wanna know if im just doing something wrong here
Don't take this the wrong way, but you should really get yourself to a gun club or go shooting with someone who knows what they're doing. Handguns in particular are one of, if not the most dangerous things you can handle. You should get hands-on instruction from someone well versed in firearms and firearm safety.
that's the plan, i just picked this up today. i figured i needed one before i did any of that lol

Awesome! Guns are fun and useful. The only reason I was mentioning anything is because putting the wrong magazine or ammo in your firearm can be quite dangerous, and under certain circumstances can lead to you holding a polymer shrapnel bomb in your hand. If you're comfortable doing so, I would feel out your local gunshops and bring your hipoint there to get a couple magazines and ammo from the salespeople there. They should be knowledgeable and answer any questions you have. And ignore anyone mocking the mighty hipoint. They're functional handguns for a decent price.
