My magazines are full.

You should rotate them full to empty every so often.
You'll weaken the springs.

Actually, hg, that's a myth. It's flexing and unflexing the springs that weakens them....

I was able to test this a few year back. While going through some of my fathers things after his passing, I found a loaded 1911 magazine where Id left it after loading it for him 12 years earlier. It chambered every round without a problem. Springs wear out from use... Compression and expansion, not from being left compressed.
