howards. Just my opinion, however, no.

Howard:
Thirty days on and thirty days off used to be a mantra espoused by one of my old division armorers for magazine rotation. Spring technology has progressed light years since then. I now rotate my carry magazines twice a year when I change my clocks -- which happens to be tonight, by the way . . . also time to change batteries in smoke alarms, laser sights, and weapon-mounted tac lights.

It's odds on that John is sitting at some sidewalk cafe in Rome drinking Chianti and struggling with a slow Wi-Fi Internet connection. ;)

He's definitely having a hard time, looks like. ;) I feel for you, John; have that problem in Ga. sometimes, as I use our Wi-Fi there.

It's my understanding that compression cycles (loading and unloading) are what fatigue a spring, not constant pressure.
I leave 'em loaded.

+1 on what Douglas said. If you have concerns you can download by 10% of rated capacity. Not a big deal in a 30 round mag, but in a 6 rounder, not for me. Or you can just replace mag springs every couple of years. Usually under $10 for a 3 pack from Wolff.
