Ammo Application in Gun Function Part 10 of 12

Part 10 Magazine springs—A gun should never be left permanently loaded especially semi auto pistols. The reason being is the spring begins to compress and the gun will not feed as well. For this same reason a gun should never be left in the cocked position when placed in storage as the firing pin spring will lose its tension. On guns where you want it for self-defense it is best to have more than one magazine. You also need an event to help you remember to unload a mag and let it rest. I was taught this example. Each month as you go to the store to buy eggs, this is about 30 days for most families. As you go to the refrigerator to put the eggs away stop and go switch magazines. One magazine is empty and the other is full. Take the full ammo mag out of the gun empty the bullets and load the empty mag and put it in the gun. And let the other mag rest. This only takes a few moments your food will not spoil and your gun will be more functional for years to come. If you decide not to do this then you have several choices. First own extra mags and keep them unloaded buy an extra mag spring (or springs) if it is available for storage. The gun should be shot every six months and as soon as it shows signs of being unreliable switch the spring or rotate out the clip. The second choice is to only load the gun with a few bullets. The average fire fight is only 2.5 rounds. Are you willing to bet your life on the averages? End of part 10 of 12 to see the next post click here.
