Perhaps this is a newbie question but I didn't give it much thought until recently.
Is it a bad idea to keep your magazines loaded all the time? I keep a 45 in one gun safe with the mag inserted but not chambered, an extra fully stacked mag is there as well. Does this wear out the spring??? Should I be unloading the magazine if it stays in storage? I only get to shoot about once a month now since my work schedule has changed.
Thanks.
