how often and how long do you unload your magazines?

[joeyrh9]

I never unload my magazines used for defensive carry. They are all loaded with Cor-bon defensive ammo. I have many other magazines that I use strictly for the range as i get to beat those up when Im practicing my shooting. I dont think the magazines are greatly affected by having them loaded or unloaded....that is just my humble honest opinion. Recently I went to the range and shot my Sig P239 with two magazines that had been loaded with defensive ammo that was loaded on them about 15 years ago. All ammunition went bang without a hiccup. Magazine loaded just as it did 15 years ago. I unloaded my defensive ammo as I thought it would be a good idea to load the magazines with fresh defensive ammo.

hope this info is helpful to you

When I shoot them. Resting springs is a myth for any real quality spring steel.
