I have heard that leaving rounds stored in your mag can weaken the spring....true? I would like to leave one of my mags loaded without worry.

No worries mate.  Change them out every month or so...If you haven't noticed the 100 mags have some very very tight tension.

Yeah, leaving them completely full for a few months will really save the hide from getting worn off your thumbs!

About the mags,  compressing the spring and leaving it should have little if no effect on its life.  Using the spring..up and down is what kills them. It is never a bad idea to change your ammo once in a while...especially in a carry gun magazine........... Shoot well :smokin
