Instruction from Caleb at Brownells addresses the common question of whether it's safe to store firearm magazines loaded. Modern, high-quality springs, such as those found in AR-15, AK-47, and handgun magazines, are designed to withstand long-term loaded storage without significant degradation. Spring wear is primarily caused by the cycling of the firearm rather than static compression. However, users should be cautious with inexpensive or poorly manufactured magazines, as their springs may be more susceptible to failure under prolonged loaded storage.
