gsd:
Do you change out your carry mag(s)?

Just curious, I usually run about 3-4 weeks then I'll trade them out for a new pair.

Springs are cheap, but I'm cheaper lol.

bkoenig:
My understanding is that with good quality modern spring steel, constant compression does not harm mag springs.  The cycle of compressing/relaxing them does over time due to metal fatigue.  So, actually unloading and reloading mags is harder on them than leaving them loaded, although either one is such a miniscule amount of wear that it's negligible.

Or so I've been told, anyway.

NE Bull:
I swap them out for a clean one when the Denim Dust becomes noticeable.

Is that what that is?! I thought that was belly button lint. Learn something every day.
