magazine springs

[white cloud]

first thanks for reading this. next i am sure this has been answered in another post but here goes. i really like my cm9. it has been flawless to this point. i have a number of pistols and revolvers in my collection but my cm9 or ruger sp101 are my carry guns of choice and usually it's the cm9 in the holster. this means the cm9 is always loaded as is a spare magazine. my question is should i give the magazine springs a rest? i could purchase a few more magazines to put into rotation. your thoughts experience would be appreciated.

Yep! This is frequently asked on just about every gun board I have ever visited. The conventional wisdom is that leaving magazines loaded is NOT a problem and that modern springs, at least those in Kahr magazine that are made by Wolff gun springs, do NOT deteriorate if left loaded.

Good news, eh?! ;)

thanks! yes this is good news. one less problem to deal with. i purchased some extra magazines but they are in my spare parts repository.
