Nope, I've left my Glock 9mm 10, 17 & 33 round mags loaded for 10 months or more...they have always worked fine.Does it hurt the spring in glock mags by being loaded all the time?
The day YOU have to worry about a Glock magazine spring is the day I want you to remember to PM me and I will send you what you need free or rebuild yours here. That includes a follower BTW. I'd never change out a Glock magazine spring without a new follower. No cost to you other than shipping it to me.Short answer, no.
See? Another one. One of the few I've seen in this thread concerning Glock magazines specifically and experience. What actually 'lumps' Glock magazines in with all the rest? Just wondering. Don't mean nothing by it, but the thread was based on Glock magazines. First hand accounts always go over better with me. Sorry, I don't know what got into me.No, I carry Glock 17 on duty at work and the mag's are all fully loaded, every 6 months the old ones are used for qualifacation and new ammo but the mags are loaded 24/7/365 and have never had any problems with feed in 5 years.
Sort of like rechargeable NiCad batteries? The first time they should be totally drained before re-charged? How much does metal "remember" actually? Does it remember yesterday? Does it recollect to the times of it's childhood? When it was first born from the fire and formed?I don't want to contradict anybody but I was always told the springs have a "memory" and if left fully loaded for long periods of time, they will remember that compressed state and will be weak when you finally do use it. Kinda like an old car with sagging springs. Just what I heard.
You were told wrong. :wave:I don't want to contradict anybody but I was always told the springs have a "memory" and if left fully loaded for long periods of time, they will remember that compressed state and will be weak when you finally do use it.
