Magazine swop

[skychief12]

How often do you change out the magazine in your CCW to keep from weakening the spring?

Here is a reference:
Wolff Gunsprings - Firearm Springs for Semi-Auto Pistols, Revolvers, Rifles, & Shotguns (http://www.gunsprings.com/faq)

Wolff, states that, it is fatigue, e.i. compressing and relaxing, that cause spring wear out, not leaving them in compression, i.e. loaded magazine, cocked hamer/striker.

That said I rotate carry mag's with another set, one a month. I believe Wolff knows what they are talking about, BUT, old habits die haard, plus it cant hurt

Thats pretty much what I do as well. I think the old days of springs taking a set other than initial are over but I've swapped mags about once a month since they parted the waters so I just do it anyhow.
Like Earl said, it can't hurt.

this is rather funny, i was just thinking of this. I was wondering how often that should be done. i was figuring on doing ot every month, its not a old habit for me but better safe than sorry.....
