Ammo left in mags..

I correct people all the time and they just look at me like I'm an asshole. Some people just don't care to learn.

It's literally THE quick and easiest way to assess someones gun knowledge.

LOL @ clipazines!

Thanks for the info! I'ma gun noob..Learning fast though. I just wanted to make sure that my springs wouldn't loosen up if I just left them fully loaded in my .40 and my AR10.
I researched on the net with too many mixed reviews.

Same here. I'm not sure why having the correct answer and sharing it makes me a dick but some people sure seem to think it does. I'm not even rude about it.

I value knowing the right answer in any situation, and I generally assume others do too. Apparently I assume wrong.

I was told by a gunsmith that it's a good idea to keep 1 or 2 rounds less than maximum load for each mag (as stated above).

Also, what Jose said holds good advice too. Rotating mags between loaded and unloaded is not a bad idea, assuming you have copious amounts to work with.

I know quite a few people who know giant amounts about firearms (gun smiths, instructors, competitors), but still refer to all mags as clips. So I will have to disagree on the knowledge part of it, but I do understand that it makes someone look a little silly.

LOL @ gun noob with an AR10. Nothing wrong with it, just makes me chuckle.

I can't say I've ever met anyone with any knowledge that doesn't know the proper word for it.

Haha... go big or go home!

I may not have owned many but I've shot and been around my share. I had a double barrell shottie and a couple of .22s, sold them in my pot smokin' days for a sack..

How many do you think we're talking about?

I rotate through 2 of 5 mags once a month (for my .45). So two a month isn't going to tear up your thumbs.

Filling a 30 rd magazine for an extended period of time can weaken the spring, the most I would keep in them would be 28. Now if you want to leave these for years then I'd say no more than 25.

all you guys are dangerous. I just keep one bullet....in my shirt pocket.

I keep a .357 magnum revolver loaded for home defense.....no issues there with magazines.
